I dreamt I was watching some sort of military attack–like a WWII style beach operation. It seemed to be USA vs. USSR, with the Soviets the aggressor. I saw a huge plane/space shuttle(?) flying low over the water, and I knew that ‘we’ would win when a rocket fired from nearby (by me???) clipped the wing of the mighty vehicle, causing it to go down. The ship was huge, and I knew it was the key to the whole operation. The fighting wasn’t over, however, and I was suddenly struggling underwater, and saw another soldier grasp the American (or was it British?) flag from nearby.

Last night I dreamt of the kings and queens, the power of royalty in a very abstract sense… All of the royal families of this part of the world seemed to be involved in a game of football (perhaps played on a chessboard??). Somehow, the game was being officiated by a Shakespearian scholar…. I was counseled not to leave the country because the economy was falling apart. All of the royalty feared the populist movements that was on the horizon…

This dream could be related to an article I read last night regarding the global economic dependence on oil. It stated that when oil supplies & production starts to flatline in a few years, transportation costs will skyrocket causing a fundamental shift in the way economies do business–suburban and countryside real estate will be devalued, and a new Great Depression will commence, accompanied by a new World War, with China the belligerent, as a new economy motivated to grow, and Europe, Japan and the United States as the “allies” motivated to defend their existing economic structure and interests. Russia would be the “wild card” sitting on the side with oil reserves of its own. Strange… Perhaps the world really will come to an end in 2012 as the Mayans predicted?

Last night I dreamt that I wanted to go to Russia to teach there. I have no idea why, but the paperwork that I was working on was quite futuristic–perhaps more Star Trek influence? …although there was no *extra-terrestrial* content to the dream… Teaching in foreign/exotic places has interested me in the past, and I may decide to teach English in China next academic year, depending on how things go….

Last night I was only able to remember parts of one dream…

I was working on an entire system of online interaction. K was helping me, but stormed off when she got angry… The goal was to increase interconnectedness. I also seemed to see the Beatles on TV, when the year was 1975 (I’m sure of this somehow, even though the Beatles had broken up by then). They were doing a TV special, and the song, “Back in the USSR” blared…

I know a little bit about Russian history, and would definitely like to learn the language, because one of my life goals is to read Tolstoy’s War and Peace in the original…but I cannot think how this connects to my own psychic doings at this point. Perhaps it is a statement about my reaction to current world events? This world is definitely getting smaller, for better or worse…
