I had the strangest, most vivid nightmare last night - it seems like it

[kestrel91316]

must have been rooted in economic fears.

I was working at Target at a huge mall somewhere. But it wasn't a retail job - I was sewing decorative pillow covers along with dozens of other women. But it wasn't a proper assembly line - we all just got handed fabric and pins and needles and scissors and such and were expected to know how to cut out and sew the piecework. I felt completely out of the loop. My sewing machine wasn't even set up yet.

I struggled to do the work, and got yelled at by some obnoxious and unsympathetic supervisor, and for some reason I left my work station (potty break?), but when I tried to return i couldn't fine the part of the store where we were working. I spent the rest of the night wandering through Target (the hugest one on the planet) and the mall (undergoing renovation, and the hugest one on the planet), trying to get back to my work station. I eventually found it, and there was a note from the supervisor that I was fired for deserting my job.

Frightening and demoralizing, and the most vivid dream I've had in years. But imagine how the REAL pieceworkers feel, and what daily pressures they are under.........

1. Romney DID promise to bring back the jobs to America.

2. Unauthorized bathroom break...you're fired!

sorry but that is Republicorp policy.

3. That is the sort of dream that chills....I had the most vivid dream I've had in years last

night as well. Extremely good dream, in this case. Still, so damn present and actual feeling, first like that in some time. Tonight, I wish for you one like I had.
Is the Dream Time snapping to life? I'd like to think so.

4. You have those kind of dream too huh?

You know you belong somewhere, somehow, but can't find where you are supposed to be?
Maybe because we are Liberals lost in a Right-wing world? Just a guess.

5. It isn't a Right-wing world. It's just the media that say it is.

If people were in charge, things'd be a whole lot different -- better, actually.

Imagine what an honest press corps would mean? For starters, Bush and the rest of the traitors, war criminals, warmongers, gangsters and thieves would be exposed.

As it stands, we do seem to be living in a nightmare.

6. That fits too.

7. a textile industry, in America... you were dreaming all right

8. It must have been a variant of my performance anxiety dream that normally involves

school and exams.

And I HAVE been taking a lot of cold meds the past several days. Maybe they induced mild hallucinations!
