Are you dreaming about the recession?

Query

We’ve been hearing a lot about the “American Dream” lately. Whether it’s still attainable, how its definition might need to change, etc. But what are Americans actually dreaming about right now? The recession’s got to be affecting more than just our waking lives.

Is Tim Geithner wearing a toga in your subconscious? Any nightmares where you’re naked at the bank? (Or maybe that’s just me….)

Has the recession affected your dreams?

Tell us about it here.

    Wow, I’ve been having numerous dreams in which I’m either sitting or standing near a beach or airport runway, and see airplanes crashing. Up close. My Shrink keeps on telling me that the good part of this, is that I’m not on the plane.

    For me the bad part is that I’ve been unable to find work for the past 7 months.

    I’ll let you know when and if I actually end up being on that plane. In the mean time, I plan on staying on hard ground.
