My first dream was that I was incarcerated with Obama.  The warden and the correction officers had plotted to kill Obama, and I had to make a moral decision to help him and risk death upon me, or do nothing.  I choose to help him, but as I got close to him to warn him I was grabbed by the correction officers and beaten.  I then woke up in an isolation room and discovered that the $100 bill I had was stolen from me.  I began to pray and ask God not to allow any harm to come to Obama.  After I finished praying I looked under the bed bunker and saw a $50 bill, and I remember believing that someone other than the person who stole the $100 from me had placed it there.

The dreamer said his two Obama dreams (the second will be posted tomorrow) “seemed so real and that’s why I Googled “dreams with Obama” and your site popped up.”  He pointed to the connection between the setting of the dream and his professional life (law enforcement and security).  A very religious man with a wife of 27 years and three children, he takes dreams seriously as spiritual signs.  The two dreams came in January of 2009, just before Obama’s inauguration.

 The assassination theme—dreams of Obama being attacked or dying—appeared as soon as Sheila began her website in February of 2008.  From the earliest days of his rise to public prominence, Obama has generated anxious fantasies of tragic, premature death.  We will see more examples of this theme in coming posts.

 In this dream the man tries to do what he can to protect Obama, but his efforts are futile.  All he has left are his prayers to God. 

 The money references are obscure, as references to specific numbers in dreams tend to be.  As a metaphor, the lost-and-found money suggests all is not lost.  The danger is real, but other people (fellow prisoners? benevolent outsiders?) will step in to help him.
