writes:This isn't exactly a relationship question, but I'm in desperate need of help here! This is going to sound really weird and borderline gross, but please bear with me.I am a young, female, Liberal Democrat of nineteen (voted for Obama and supported Clinton, Gore, and Kerry because I wasn't of voting age, yet). I come from a huge Irish/English-American family of Liberal Democrats, so I'm already "set in my ways". What really gets to me are the dreams I've been having. I don't know if they have to do with the fact that after three months of avoiding my ex, I ended up having sex with him (that was three nights ago) or that I've been really horny a lot lately (which is very odd because I can usually control my urges very well); but anyways, the past two nights, I've had (bad) dreams of me fooling around with former President Bush. The son, not the father. I figure they will eventually go away, but at this point, I'm just finding these dreams to be highly disturbing but I can't control them! No matter how hard I try! I have never found that utterly messed up man to be attractive and now I'm having freakin' dreams about him!How do I stop these dreams from occurring any more and more importantly, will I be able to laugh about this later or start losing it because I had these dreams? Help would be much appreciated! Thank you!

And never any other drugs, for that matter. And for another, I realize they are just dreams, but I want to be able to get the ones I'm having now, out. 'Tis the reason for my original question. But thank you for your input.

 Chill out with the politics we now know you are a liberal!
It's ok, maybe all the pot you have been smoking has given you these crazy dreams!
But seriously, a dream is a dream. I think you worry about your political leanings a little bit too much for a 19 year old, don't get me wrong politics is important but look at the bigger picture and stop worrying about it.

reader, anonymous, writes (7 March 2009): This is verified as being by the original poster of the questionI think the reason I've been dreaming about a Republican is because in the past, I have dated Republicans. I have only ever dated one Democrat and I'm trying to get myself more into that because I want to raise my kids as Democrats and not Independents or Republicans. I know that sounds contradictory to what I said earlier, but now, I think that is sole issue of this. I was "forced" to move to a very Conservative part of Illinois about four years ago and so most of my friends are Republicans or Independents. I can't say I got lucky with my last boyfriend because he abused me physically and verbally but he is just about the only other Democrat I know up here.

 Hi there, First of all there are a few things that go like this, "take a dream as a dream", "dreams are a multitude of business". You know who you are, I believe, so as far as changing to something that is so against the grain in your case such as a Republican, (I think they were kiddding, at least I hope so) is not feasible. I think you just need to relax, the dreams will go away. When Kerry was running, i dreamed, I kid you not, that he had taken me to a restaurant and he had his arm around my waist, never happen in a million years. I would think that in my dream, if it happened, another man would be representative of Mr. Kerry. Substitutions in dreams happen as well. So I wouldn't fret over the dream about Mr. Bush. He's gone, thank God, although you can't blame one person for the woes that befall the country currently, he certainly could have done a better job. If you are not allergic to milk, drink a warm glass of it before you go to bed, or have some chamomile tea to sooth your system. The dreams will change, you will feel better, balance out your love life, that could be a distraction, and contribute to your unsettling dreams. Take care, stay in touch.

It's just a dream don't worry. I have sex dreams about all sorts of weird people. Thankfully not Bush though!It doesn't mean anything and you probably keep dreaming it because it's on your mind.

And no, my boyfriend is not a Republican; he actually also comes from a very Democratic family. Thanks for the help! From everyone!

 Eh, girlfriend, it's a dream. I have bizarr-o sex dreams ALL. THE. TIME. I'm not sure what that says about me, but certainly not that I actually have feelings for Homer Simpson (last nights questionable act).
I don't think this means that you're a closeted Republican. You seem to be into politics, who does your heart feel good about? Your dreams have nothing to do with your real life political affiliation. They give you something to think about, but nothing more than that.
You're horny, you're into politics, you just dumped your last fella (kind of like our country just proverbially dumped President Bush), it all makes sense to me. Hopefully you can move on from our former president to our current one. Mmm. Did I just say that??? Maybe it's time for me to go back to bed!

 You slept with your ex, you're feeling horny and you're into politics. All of this has been on your subconscious and is part and parcel of why you are having these dreams. To dream that you are having sex with the president, (even although you don't fancy him) indicates your drive to be successful in the future. Hey that's not a bad thing! The dreams will get less with time but I wouldn't worry about them.

I just want to stop these dreams, lol.

 I dream is a wish your heart makes. Well in your case it's not. You can't really stop dreams. Try thinking about something else when you're falling asleep. Keep me updated!
