The night after the inauguration, I had a dream that Obama and I were driving go-karts all over DC. He made his staff give meetings while driving go-karts with us. They were comically flummoxed. It was awesome.

'Tool - your politically-charged fanboy dreams are better than my politically-charged fanboy dreams.

it was horrible in my dream when Obama was led away by Secret Service on wobbly legs.

I dreamt that I had an older sister (two years older) who was brought up separately from the rest of us (me and four boys). She was disabled/handicapped in some fashion but the dream was really vague on that detail. I didn't find out she existed until the day after she died. My oldest brother knew about her, but never said anything to the rest of us. He felt really guilty about it (the disability and the not telling).

The whole thing was really disturbing and I know it's going to stick with me for days.

I've been dreaming I'm President lately! President Superhero.

I dreamt about Obama too, early this morning, which I think was influenced by the fact that Morning Edition was going on - it is my alarm, which I was resolutely ignoring. In my dream he was giving a speech to a whole bunch of people sitting at extravagantly decorated tables. I was sitting nearby and could see his hands: he was wearing really really cool rings, like one had a mirror band between two bands of black fur and another was just a huge gemstone and I was thinking, isn't it awesome that we have a president who's not afraid to push the jewelry envelope like that?

I just rewatched the first season of The West Wing, and when he's thinking of hiring Charlie, President Bartlet worries about how it will look to have a young black guy holding the door for the president. Ten years later, a black guy's the president.
