Is the bad economy ruining your sleep?

Query

Sure, it’s easy to lose sleep in stressful economic times like these. But what about when you finally DO catch some zzzzs?

Marketplace wants to hear how the recession is affecting your subconscious, once the lights are off and you’re asleep. Have you had any surreal dreams, or scary nightmares, where the economy played a role? Maybe you found yourself being chased down the street by a giant credit card? Or your boss was wearing a gorilla suit when he told you about the latest round of lay offs? And was that Timothy Geithner who just showed up at your dinner party, in a toga?

Tell us about your dreams here.
