Dream Presidential Candidates

Have Obama, McCain, or Clinton ever popped up in your dreams? A new blog project, the Metaphysical Poll, publishes readers’ dreams about the current crop of presidential candidates. Writer and Metaphysical Poll founder Sheila Heti tells us about some of the dreams, and whether she thinks we can read anything meaningful into the candidates’ cameos in dreams.

We've been living a nightmare since Nov. 2000. I'm dreaming we can do better in 2008. (McCain would merely be a more entertaining continuation of the nightmare.) Thankfully, I haven't had any dreams about any recent candidates; reality is bad enough!
