For centuries, dreams have guided nations toward (or away from) their destinies. Dreams have revealed the divine plan for countries, cultures, citizens.

In the Old Testament, God spoke through dreams in both plain words and symbols. A famous political prophecy is the dream of the Egyptian Pharaoh (Genesis: 30-46): “In my dream, I stood upon the banks of a river. There stood seven fat cows. As I looked, lo! there came from out of the river, seven lean cows, and before my very eyes, they swallowed the seven fat cows, but remained as lean as before. And, then I saw seven empty ears of corn swallow seven full ears of corn, but remain just as thin as ever.”

Joseph, who became Pharaoh’s chief governor, interpreted the dream as seven years of plenty and seven of famine; he proscribed a public policy of storing food during the seven abundant years to prevent starvation during the next seven years of lack. His assessment saved the nation.

Wise Ways

In the Bible’s Book of Daniel, a dream in the second year of his reign troubled Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, famous for the magnificent gardens hanging outside his palace. He saw a gigantic statue “with the head of gold, breast and arms of silver; thighs and belly of brass, and legs of iron. The feet and toes were a mixture of iron and clay. “

Filled with hubris, Nebuchadnezzar commanded the people to worship a golden idol he commissioned. In a lesson for leaders with designs of empire, Nebuchadnezzar’s kingdom crumbled and the king descended into madness.

Eventually, the King listened to the wisdom of Daniel, his court adviser, and changed his ways. After seven years, Nebuchadnezzar’s sanity returned and “the honor and glory he once possessed were restored to him.”

A picture of an angel with blond hair clad in red and green, facing left.

This image appeared on my dream screen early on Monday, December 20 (2010). I had fallen asleep listening to a replay of Ring of Fire on Green960, San Francisco’s progressive radio station.

The then co-host David Bender was interviewing Alan Grayson, voted Progressive of the Year. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Mike Papantonio are the original and ongoing hosts.

The program reminded me of the reoccurring conversation with friends, the most recent that evening, about “primarying” Barack Obama. The depth of the crisis confronting our country as President Obama aidedand abetted a Republican/corporate agenda darkened the cloud hovering over the season of light.

Obama, expanding the blood bath in the Middle East, entrenching insurance, financial, military, and other transnational business interests at the expense of our country and our humanity, depressed the joy of celebrating with family and friends.

To stop the political ruminations, I asked my dreams for guidance. Since dreams — mine and others– had accurately predicted the 2000 Presidential election and recount, explained 9/11, and graphically described the rising tide of fascism in the U.S., I turn to this Source of knowledge to substantiate political reporting and commentary.

INSIGHT, PLEASE

I asked:

Should there be a 2012 primary challenge to Barack Obama and, if so, who?

That’s when the dream messenger aka angel appeared, answering both queries
with a single image.

Associations:

A Christmas ornament with blond hair eliminates the Jewish stars most often discussed — Grayson, Sanders, Feingold, Schakowsky.

Blond hair with a wave over one eye: I think Marilyn Monroe, Madonna/a young Bette Miller. Yes, a young Marilyn Monroe.

Now the mysterious is obvious.

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.!!!

Once the brilliance of the dream guidance registered, I realized I was breathing again, perhaps, for the first time in a decade! Notice how the possibility changes your entire being.
