Let’s imagine that you’re a first-time voter and you’re choosing your representative in the upcoming election. You think back to your dreams and find that the night before you had a dream election result. The election in this dream was won by someone who embodies characteristics of your personal values – perhaps they have similar views on climate change, or they are willing to embrace change and progress.
When people have dreams about coming elections, it’s an indicator of what is going on inside their brain as a proxy for their thoughts about the group dynamics.
