The YouTube video Why American Fascism Is On The Rise by the YouTube channel Second Thought.

Here is the description for this video:

It should be common knowledge that the troubling undercurrent of outright fascism has been becoming more and more mainstream over recent years.

With new fascist and neo-Nazi groups popping up all the time, and with their rhetoric becoming ever more grotesque and anti-human, I think it’s important we understand what’s going on.

A Prediction | Playing A Sport | A Zombie Virus Attacks Texas?

Source: Wikimedia Commons

Dream 1

All that I can remember of this dream is that someone, maybe a woman, made a prediction that probably came true in my last dream; she told this prediction to me, we were in a room or building, but that is all that I can remember.

Dream 2

All that I can remember of this dream is that it took place inside a windowless gym-like building where I was playing a sport with other people, maybe baseball or kickball or something like that, and at some point in the dream a man on my team and I found a bag with a gun and ammunition in it; and there was a drawing on the bag that had the owner’s name on it, a smiley face drawing of him, and text that implied that he was going to use this gun and ammunition to shoot people in this building/go on a shooting rampage.

The owner of this bag and gun (he had whitish colored skin with yellowish colored hair, and he looked a bit like a villainous version of my former male classmate AK) had gotten in trouble before for going on a shooting rampage and so it was illegal for him to own or have guns and ammunition, somehow he was no longer in prison (which made no sense to me even in the dream because he was clearly still a threat and he did not stay in prison for long at all), and so we showed this evidence to a woman with whitish colored skin who seemed to be in charge of this building/area; and she thanked us, and told us that she would warn him about this.

We felt that he needed to be arrested and that he was a threat to everyone but she did not think that it was serious, she seemed to think that he was only joking oddly, and so we argued with her about this; but she refused to have him arrested unless we could find more evidence, but that is all that I can remember of this dream.

Dream 3

All that I can remember of this dream is that I think that I was in The United States Of America in a large city in the state of Texas at a tall modern multi-story hotel/apartment/building with many windows that was in the middle of the city in the downtown area, maybe I was vacationing there and maybe some other people I know were there as well, and the woman’s prediction from the first dream probably started to come true.

We were on one of the upper floors in one of the lobby areas with a nice view of the city below and of the other tall buildings, there was probably a television on a news channel, and at some point there were reports of a virus infecting people in the city causing them to act wild and crazy like zombies an attack people (either someone told us and/or this was mentioned on the news).

At first people thought that it was an isolated incident but the virus was spreading to other people rapidly, people in the building with us still felt safe, but at some point we heard screams and saw people running saying that infected people/zombies were attacking our building; and at some point some of the zombies were outside of the windows trying to get in, somehow some of them had climbed to the upper floors even though this was a tall building, and so we moved to the stairway/stairwell that had extra layers of glass.

People were terrified and not sure of what to do, I was calm and I remembered what the woman had predicted, and I knew that the city was probably mostly overrun and that we were probably mostly surrounded; and so we were mostly trapped probably, finding safer areas inside the building like the stairway/stairwell was our best option for now.

I hoped that the zombies would give up and continue attacking other areas to leave an opening for us to escape if necessary, I decided to stay calm and wait and think about the situation, and I remember wishing that the woman had given me some advice on how to survive this; but I woke up.

The end,

A Russian Military Victory Against American Special Forces / The United States Of America

I did not voice record any of my dreams from last night and so I forgot most of my dreams from last night, I do remember waking up once during the night when I was sleeping very comfortably/solidly because I was probably snoring with my mouth open when my pillow left a space causing my head to turn over the space at an odd angle, and I remember dreaming/daydreaming/thinking about if I should get my first pea coat or not; and what size and color pea coat should I get.

This all started a few days ago when I started looking around for cheap/low-priced durable winter military jackets/coats or military style jackets/coats listed under military surplus, and then I glanced at the non-military surplus coats that were somewhat military style without being camouflage and I saw this :
