Wrote this on my Facebook page...

"The acorn is the seed of the mighty oak tree; therefore, it symbolizes potential and strength. ... The acorn is the youth of a mighty oak tree. This is also a Nordic and Celtic symbol of life, fertility, and immortality."

I had the strangest dream last night. Was wandering around the seamier side of NYC. There was a lot of money changing hands. I was observing all this from a ledge. There was some sort of game going on in a back alley like street craps played by men in suits. And the "marker" was an acorn. Suddenly the game became something else, the man who won a game was contemplating leaving the acorn and decided to pick it up, but just before he picked it up, Trump's big body's tiny hand grabbed it and pocketed it.

I think his appearance in my dream stunned me awake and that's where it ended. Gives me the shivers thinking about it. And that acorn seems very important in the light of day.
