A Dream of 'Pawn Stars,' Poverty, and Police

Tuesday night's sleeping experience was not as scary as the previous 2 I have talked about in podcasts but it sure was weird and enlightening!

I decided to try something a little different with my morning pages exercise today. Rather than do another podcast telling my dream, as I did with these two here…

This Unforgettable Dream Was So Vivid It Was Like a Thriller Movie

Interpreting a Pair of Very Different Scary Nightmares

I decided to write it out and analyze it in my journal. I’ve taken photographs of the 16 handwritten pages - which took about an hour and a half to write - and offered the first 9 ahead of the paywall. In offering about the first half for free I’m inspired by my good friend

Matthew Sheffield

who has recently imported his

Theory of Change Podcast With Matthew Sheffield

to Substack and generously offers the first half of his podcasts for free. Please check out Matt’s work, he’s really first-rate and has influenced me a lot over the years. Here are his most recent 2 podcasts:

Theory of Change #058: Nils Gilman on how the "designer economy" will replace neoliberalism

Theory of Change #057: David Golumbia on the political ideology behind Bitcoin and crypto

I think I may try doing this more in the future, as we need to offer more paid subscribers to our premium members. If this - and my ongoing essay series writing my Joy of Political Sects book - interest you then please consider a premium subscription.
