The San Bernardino Sun, November 4, 1993:

Even when the Bill Dreams aren't romantic, many have an intimate flavor.

And few are presidential—Clinton usually drops into dreamland wearing his cap and jogging suit or a faded pair of jeans.

In one woman's dream, Clinton is her dentist ("but he isn't taking any new patients"); for another dreamer, the president is a stand-up comic who is bombing ("I wish I could give him funnier material").

Psychologists who specialize in dream analysis say the Bill dreams should come as no surprise.

"Clinton is very charismatic and he isn't afraid of a real woman," says Robert Van de Castle, a University of Virginia psychology professor and dream expert.

"He has struck a deep emotional chord. President Bush didn't stir up the same kind of passions. You wouldn't want to steal away with him to a hotel for a weekend."

Clinton's sex appeal was recently confirmed in a survey of 18- to 30-year-olds conducted by New York City psychologist Carin Rubenstein.

One of every four of the women polled was as likely to fantasize about Clinton as about TV heartthrob Luke Perry.

No president since John F. Kennedy...
