Dream #20

Summary:
Barack Obama came to town! I can't remember why, but he was coming to deliver the message at a church that looked a lot like my home church in Four Oaks. There were a lot of African Americans there, though, so I feel like it was a different church (I don't know that I've ever seen one at my church before). I know that some of my family was not excited at all that he was coming to town, but I resolved to go see him. The start of the service was just held by a black preacher and he was a very stereotypical African American preacher. The service was interesting, and at some point I realized that the Obama family was in the room - wife, kids, the whole shabang. Obama got up and gave the sermon and I remember thinking what a decent person he seemed like. Some part of me really wanted to like him even though I haven't been 100% onboard in the past. Then I started looking around for security and the secret service because I was nervous that someone might wish him harm. Obama was preaching just like the other black preacher - it was really funny. All of a sudden, he was just gone. The Secret Service escorted the family out of some back door and they were gone. When I realized that they were gone, I was really sad.

Influences:
Obama is everywhere so that could be anything. I think I've secretly liked Obama for a while. This may be why I had a very sympathetic mood toward him in the dream. Also, my friend Jeff just bought a celebratory plate with Obama on it and I just saw it this past weekend. I'm sure that's all floating around in there. I think I'm also really afraid that someone will harm him or his family. I hope the secret service is well prepared to do their job. No problems since JFK so I think we're good.

Overall Mood:
Neato!
...and, I feel out of place...
