Jeanne I never thought about the opiate or health care connections to the needle scene which must have been important since there was a huge close-up of the needle in my dream to show how sharp it was right before the woman started sticking it in a person's neck. I think the problem the GOP doesn't see is that when industry and corporate CEO's control everything their selfish decisions are going to lead to a very unhealthy US population and economy later. We have huge trillion dollar deficits due to the tax cuts for the rich and corporations and actually a tax increase for many middle class Americans. This will eventually damage the economy.
Their plans are all so shortsighted and horrendous on so many levels. By the time enough people sue the corporations and opiate producing pharmacy companies to try and stop them they have already obtained many millions of dollars on the suffering and illness of so many.
I also have a strong belief that we will get through this and be better in the future.
This debacle that Orwell and Huxley wrote about that fits your dream began long before Donald Trump, but he and the GOP corporate sponsors are now moving us quickly into the worse case scenario: go along with the program or else you get a needle in the neck. For people in the country's huge prison system - the poor, primarily people of color, who did not go along with the program, people are medicalized. They stick them with needles to conform. In Brave New World, the government tries to prevent its people from speaking freely and thinking by giving them soma, a legal drug that is available for them every day. The people become zombies.
We need to stay strong and not cow-tow, and more than ever, we need to continue to be true to our authentic selves. My initial feeling back in 2014 when I first started getting premonitions about this period was that many light workers would pull away from the federal government and focus more time on local initiatives.
I had two dreams this week that brought my new little dog over to me in the night, with concern.
1st night, woke up shouting, "Not my leg!" Didn't recall the dream. Felt very threatened though...
2nd night, dreamed I was a soldier. I was a dark haired , dark eyed swarthy Italian, or Lebanese man. I was shot in the leg during battle and the dream was a whirl of confusiomn and panic. Woke myself up making guttural pain noises.
My old dog who passed in December was an empathic companion who was here to help me heal.
This new dog is here to help me laugh. She is all joy. So for her to be in my view when I awoke abruptly from both dreams was unusual.
Also a picture that I had hung 12 hours earlier jumped noisily off the wall. Weird happenings afoot...
1) Jeanne, you mention forced vaccinations twice in the context of social control. Do you think you could clarify what you mean? Are you just referring to the forced medicalization of the prison population, or to vaccine regimens in general? With the ongoing measles outbreak in this country plus the press the anti-vax movement has been receiving of late, vaccines are very much in the national discourse right now, and with your background in public health, I'd like to hear your take on the issue (perhaps this deserves a thread of its own).
2) Starpath, the needle scene in your dream could just as easily signify the massive prescribing and consumption of antidepressants in the United States. We are all hurting in these darkest days of the Age of Separation. But in a go-it-alone capitalist society that is uncomfortable with despair, we interpret our pain as an individual struggle/failing. So we medicate ourselves and put on a brave face in order to get back on the hamster wheel.
Coyote your point about antidepressants is also true. I heard the other week that suicide rates among teenagers was increasing because of more stressful life challenges like having opiod addicted parents, living in poverty and upsetting social media posts. I live in a college town where CBD oil is flying off the shelves and this is for many reasons-- anxiety, chronic pain, trouble falling asleep. At first they put them out on the open shelves but now they lock them all up because they were getting stolen like crazy. I think it is good people want to try natural remedies but it is a sign of the times. CBD oil and weed probably worries the pharmaceutical industry...
Ghandigirl, I became convinced around a year ago that angels can get animals to comfort us when we are in those very painful or emotional moments. I was crying one night and my cat acted extremely different than usual and although my cat is always affectionate he did things that night that made me feel very loved and I can't explain it but since then I think an angel was influencing him to act that way. He never has acted quite like that again. Your dream sounded pretty extremely upsetting and I think an angel wanted your dog there when you woke up to comfort you.
Stargazer, Starpath,
I so agree. Pets can carry natural healing energies and bring in a divine higher self energies from our future selves which are simply referred to by many as angels.

Panpsychism is the believe that everything around us have sentient abilities. Just copy and paste the term in the search box or be hitting the back arrows on main Consciousness topic. When I i started the topic I misspelled Panpsychism then the post timed out before I could correct it. ?♀️
