An Inclusive Litany

5/17/93

The Washington Post assured readers, "If you've been dreaming about Bill Clinton, relax. It's perfectly normal." The Post detailed various examples of the kind of dreams that have become all too common:

  • A 25-year-old secretary who described her vision as such: "Bill leaned over and whispered discreetly in my ear that he wanted me to be his mistress."

  • A self-described "techno-hippie" who dreamed that Hillary "had just undergone mouth surgery and she had bloodstains all over her sequined pajamas.... Peter Jennings was there too, doing something fake."

  • A 30-year-old filmmaker envisioned the president as a dentist. "He reaches his arms out towards me, and bends to place his lips near mine.... I think how angry Hillary would be if she found out, and how terrible I would feel—hurting her like that."

  • One woman imagined the president giving her a neck massage. "Usually my dreams are more abstract," she said. "But my neck felt better."
