  1. There will be a presidential debate tomorrow night (June 27th) at 9 pm on CNN. The debate will be between POTUS Joe Biden and former POTUS Donald Trump. Unfortunately, no other POTUS candidates will be onstage including Cornel West and Robert Kennedy Jr. The debate could be similar to 2020 if the geriatric candidates take whatever medication enhances their cognitive abilities. POTUS PJB seems to forget and freeze. Former POTUS Orange Julius has memory lapses and supposedly has a body odor. It's unfortunate that voters have to hold their noses when voting for either of these Rock em Sock em robots in November. The good news is that neither one will be able to run for POTUS in 2028. Not because they're too old or worse. Term limit.😎
  2. Wouldn’t that be something, if we did that during our dreams? I used to dream that I could fly. I would just jump on my kitchen window and takeoff.
  3. @DelanoInteresting interpretation. One of the possibilities AI suggested was that my dream was symbolic of my being stressed out over circumstsnces I can't control including money insecurities along with feelings of abandonment and frustration with computerization. I leaned toward the factory being my mixed emotions about life and death and the elusiveness of getting to heaven. Lol

  5. Work is done in a factory and people have different roles. Work is a bit part of life. It creates social interactions and sometimes it defines who we are, we can become our job. The factory may represent life. The different people can be the way different people either approach life or how they live. So perhaps you see how people's beliefs have been limited by their thinking about life. So you are trying to not only escape this situation. You want to put a lot of distance from it. We use the word fortune to mean wealth. This is the Merriam Webster definition : a store of material possessions the turns and courses of luck accompanying one's progress (as through life). So your purse is the place where you store your talents. I mean that in more than one sense of the word. So losing your purse could either feel like you are wasting time. Since time is money. Although it makes more sense to say money is time. So you are trying to find a way out of the not becoming an automaton. What's interesting is that you include manual as well as office workers as being trapped. So it has been an ongoing process to become free or at least not to feel trapped in a role. So to the extent that you have loved the life you wanted you have left the factory. It also points to your ability to see a situation that others see as normal. Or say that's just the way that it is. Also the factory is going anywhere. Things and people come to it. Whereas a train represents movement and the occupants are more fluid as are their reasons for taking the train
  6. @DelanoIt's a dream I've been regularly having for about the past 3 or 4 years. It seems real enough to make me wonder if I simply shift into a different universe and am not asleep. Sometimes, I'll "wake up" during it but when I drift back off to "sleep", it continues. In it I am lost inside a large dreary factory with many floors, windows, occasional offices and areas full of big machines and heavy equipment. There are a scattering of people wandering around with whom I engage in small talk in regard to finding an exit from the building as I go up and down stairways, opening doors which I hope will let me out but only lead to other rooms. During the course of all of this I lose my purse, making me more anxious as I occasionally run into someone I know who disappears when I try to follow them toward what I hope will be a way out. But all doors lead to dead ends or brick walls. On and on I go looking for an escape to the outside, sure I have finally found zn exit only to be thwarted and prevented from escaping the factory - to catch this train that will take me to where I live. It's fairly obvious what this dream is symbolic of. AI broke it down for me. It's all about my subconscious because when awake my life is fairly uneventful and secure. (But death is always a spectre.) I haven't had the dream lately because I made some adjustments to what was "magnetizing" my night table...
