Dreaming the Stock Market Blues

I do not generally reflect on dreams that were recorded by me years or even months before unless events appear to be moving in their direction; then I really pay attention.  The importance of keeping a dream journal was highlighted big time for me when, in 1998, I learned that a dream I had recorded 12 years earlier almost to the month occurred in so much detail in real life. 

The dream was “about a son of a farming family named ‘Machado’ who had just been killed in a end-over-end tractor accident after drifting off a hill.  I am hovering over a small group of women in the farmhouse who are grieving upon hearing the news.  This was a prominent local family.”  Twelve years later, my son came into the house and announced that a guy who was a new acquaintance of his had just died in an tractor accident on the family farm.  His name was “Mike Machado” he said, and that he had lost control of equipment he was riding.**  Agh!  My mind went straight to that dream of 12 years before and could not have described the scene better. This WAS the son of a “prominent local family” as well—at the time of that dream in 1986, I did not recall anyone named “Machado” and did not realize until much later (I did not keep up on politics back then) that this was the son of then Senator Mike Machado from Linden, CA!   The only “surreal” part was that I was not seen by the grieving women.

So, the reason I am going to post the following dream, which occurred about one and one-half years ago (12/25/2005), is because I see “symptoms” manifesting in the realm of the stock market.  It was as follows:

“I walk into a place called the ‘Daily Grind’, but it is not the cheerful bustling place it was. I am accompanied by a woman who guides me there and then starts scribbling notes frantically onto a notepad as she watches a screen before us.  This causes me to look closely at a young man in front of us who is operating some sort of ‘information’ screen, watching numbers tick by on the screen and then plugging in some numbers that he is seeing into a program.  At first, I have some trouble focusing on what is on the screen, but then it gets clearer.  I see that this has to do with the stock market.   I am stunned to realize that what I am seeing is a sudden and unexpected drop in the market, and it is in the range of 1126 points and not just a few hundred.  I look at my ‘guide’ who is still writing on the notepad. I realize that the people at the Daily Grind are standing completely still and are not receiving their checks***.  She is watching out for mine. ”

I saw a news report stating that the DOW had dropped 387 points today and is a total of about 730 points down from its highest close.  This inches more and more toward “1126 points” (or possibly denoting a date such as 11/26?) so I am posting this 19-month-old or so dream here.    Ah, but it is only a dream…..

I am seriously thinking about gold…

**From  Rural California Report Oct. 1998  the following: “The death of (Michael) Christopher Machado happened in the early evening of August 18 (1998), near his family’s farm in Linden. While traveling along a county road, the rear wheel of Machado’s John Deere tractor slid off the road, and the entire tractor turned over in the creek pinning him under two feet of water. Around 5:30 P.M., a motorist stopped and immediately called 911 after discovering Machado beneath the overturned tractor. Despite emergency efforts, he was pronounced dead at the scene.
