Brief dream:

I'm driving to town on the main highway in. On the shoulder of the road,
walking the other way, I see two people wearing hooded windbreaker jackets.
I realize that the couple are Vice President Dick Cheney and his wife Lynne
(sp?).

I drive on, but begin to think to myself, "This is his last day in office.
The neighborly thing to do is to turn around and give them a lift back to
their home, not leave them to walk like that."

I turn my car around and drive back up the road, but the Cheneys aren't
there. I drive a bit, then decide that someone else must have stopped and
given them a ride, so I turn around and head back the way I was going in the
first place.

=END OF DREAM=

Notes: No real ideas about this one. I don't have strong feelings one way
or the other about Vice President Cheney. They certainly don't live in my
neighborhood! <G> Why the windbreaker jackets? Why did I think of it being
just Cheney's last day in office, and not the last day of Bush's term as
well? Was I thinking somehow Cheney won't remain in office until 2009? I
seemed -- and this is vague -- to be thinking he was actually the Secretary
of Defense, rather than VP, but I couldn't remember Defense Secretary Donald
Rumsfeld's name for a while even after I woke, so perhaps I was substituting
Cheney for Rumsfeld, and it's actually the Secretary of Defense who I dreamt
will be leaving office.

Comments and interpretations welcome.

Hmm... interesting -- I had forgotten Cheney *had* been SecDef under Bush.
It looks like my dream was about a week shy of the 16th anniversary of
Cheney being nominated for that post, though I dreamt he was leaving office,
not entering it.

Thanks!
