now on, babies born with any physical or mental impairments or infirmities will have to

be buried alive or killed and then buried. Hitler declared Jews, homosexuals, and people

with disabilities “useless eaters,” unworthy of life. Trump has a similar contempt for

human life and a penchant for creating scapegoats.

Dream #3 Thanksgiving night, 2016

I’m on the street. People are hunting for me. I am their prey. There are laws that, if

broken, will get me arrested—though it’s unclear what the laws are. There is danger

everywhere. I’m holding a small container of homeopathic medicine. A man walks up

and he is about to arrest me for this. I am defiant. I take two homeopathic pills in front of

him and say, with a smile: “You don’t expect me to police myself, do you? I’ll go on until I

can’t anymore!” He is charmed by my attitude (though he was menacing at first) and lets

me get away with it—like a Nazi with his ‘favorite’ Jew. My refusal to be docile makes me

interesting to him.

Here’s how I see this dream: it is the turning point in which the traumatized victim of my

Trump nightmares becomes a woman of courage and resistance.

What is the medicine of my dream? Homeopathy is a delegitimized medicine. It is not

covered by insurance. It is not recognized as medicine. It is debunked by scientists who

speak of ‘anecdotal evidence’ while knowing little about it and who claim that it is anti-

scientific. It is a disputed medicine—accepted as legitimate in Europe while American

‘scientists’ continue to witch-hunt it. (I have never heard of a single instance of

homeopathy harming anyone whereas Western ‘scientific’ pharmaceuticals are

responsible for untold deaths and irreparable harm).

In homeopathic medicine, a micro amount of something that is poisonous is medicine for

the condition that it would cause if taken in larger amount. In this dream, I am taking in a

poison in benign, healing form. The medicine’s power is that it transforms something

potentially dangerous into something curative.
