I had a dream the other night that startled me awake. Normally, I am able to fall back asleep, but this was different. I wrote it down. It’s simple enough, but even in my sleepy haze, I knew it was not good.
In my dream, my best friend Lauren and I were at dinner. Sometime during dinner, both of our wallets were stolen. The waiters and management at the restaurant started laughing at us since we couldn’t pay. For some reason, my parents were dining at a table across the room, and offered to pay. That’s when I woke up.
The next morning I looked all of this up on a dream dictionary. Here are the results:
- To dream that you are in a restaurant suggests that you are feeling overwhelmed by decisions and choices that you need to make in your life. Alternatively, it indicates that you are seeking for emotional nourishment outside of your social support system.
- To dream that you are a witness to a theft or a victim of theft indicates that someone is wasting your time and/or stealing your energy and ideas. Perhaps you feel robbed in some way.
- To dream that you lose money suggests that you are lacking ambition, power and self-esteem. You are experiencing unhappiness and setbacks in your waking life. You may also be feeling weak, vulnerable, and out of control in your waking life.
- To dream that you have no money indicates a fear of losing your place in the world. You are lacking the abilities needed to achieve some desired goal.
- To dream that someone is mocking you or making fun on you indicates that you are suffering from low self-esteem. Perhaps you are too overly worried with what people say about you
- To see your parents in your dream symbolize both power, shelter, and love. You may be expressing your concerns and worries about your own parents. Alternatively, it represents the merging of the female and male aspects of your character.

In case you thought we make laws for the “public good”
1.) Police Unions: Police departments across the country have become dependent onfederal drug war grants to finance their budget. In March, we published a story revealing that a police union lobbyist in California coordinated the effort to defeat Prop 19, a ballot measure in 2010 to legalize marijuana, while helping his police department clients collect tens of millions in federal marijuana-eradication grants. And it’s not just in California. Federal lobbying disclosures show that other police union lobbyists have pushed for stiffer penalties for marijuana-related crimes nationwide.
2.) Private Prisons Corporations: Private prison corporations make millions by incarcerating people who have been imprisoned for drug crimes, including marijuana. As Republic Report’s Matt Stoller noted last year, Corrections Corporation of America, one of the largest for-profit prison companies, revealed in a regulatory filing that continuing the drug war is part in parcel to their business strategy. Prison companies have spent millions bankrolling pro-drug war politicians and have used secretive front groups, like the American Legislative Exchange Council, to pass harsh sentencing requirements for drug crimes.
3.) Alcohol and Beer Companies: Fearing competition for the dollars Americans spend on leisure, alcohol and tobacco interests have lobbied to keep marijuana out of reach. For instance, the California Beer & Beverage Distributors contributed campaign contributions to a committee set up to prevent marijuana from being legalized and taxed.
4.) Pharmaceutical Corporations: Like the sin industries listed above, pharmaceutical interests would like to keep marijuana illegal so American don’t have the option of cheap medical alternatives to their products. Howard Wooldridge, a retired police officer who now lobbies the government to relax marijuana prohibition laws, told Republic Report that next to police unions, the “second biggest opponent on Capitol Hill is big PhRMA” because marijuana can replace “everything from Advil to Vicodin and other expensive pills.”
5.) Prison Guard Unions: Prison guard unions have a vested interest in keeping people behind bars just like for-profit prison companies. In 2008, the California Correctional Peace Officers Association spent a whopping $1 million to defeat a measure that would have “reduced sentences and parole times for nonviolent drug offenders while emphasizing drug treatment over prison.”
The war on drugs is a farce.
I can’t believe Die Antwoord was on Letterman. My parents are Letterman’s target demo, and they would shit themselves if they saw this.
May book club
I’m not done reading April’s book yet. I’m more upset about that statement than I should be. Why? Because I’ve been trying to read this book for 6 months now, and yet, I still can’t make the time to sit down for a few hours and finish reading it.
Anyway, May’s book is The Mysteries of Pittsburgh by Michael Chabon. I saw this in a list of must-read books and couldn’t believe I hadn’t read it. I must be in a self-hating mood today, because I’m just so disappointed in myself for not even knowing about this book, especially after reading the synopsis.
Enough of my problems, this book seems like an interesting read. I’m excited. If you need me, I’ll probably be doing this for the rest of the night:

Since the natural light in my bathroom has been so good lately, I’ve been getting ready in the morning without the lights on. It has been lovely, until I realize the dark circles under my eyes are so dark they make me look like a zombie.
