This is a good point, and I caught myself becoming lazy in this regard. When they revised the prediction to 50/50, the momentum was already there and I had convinced myself that he would make it; if I prayed enough and sent him my energy it would push him over the line. Nope.
As far as my dreams are concerned, I've become interested in the fact that they seem to foreshadow certain events or emotional states that I will encounter in real life. This has given me pause to consider many of the dystopian dreams I've had over the last couple of years, and yes most of them have some sort of esoteric element. The purpose of sharing the "mantis" dream was to give a certain insight into my mental landscape. It was a way of connecting emotionally with certain readers who have experienced similar dreams or read paranormal accounts and stories and understand the context of my emotional state. Dreams are metaphorical and use a lot of symbolism; whether or not I was being "beamed" by an actual mantis is kind of tangential, it's the essence of the energy exchange which interests me. And my perception is that the same essential energy which was behind my conception of the "mantis" is behind the takedown of Trump. And as far as I can tell the level of "mantis beings" and "lizard beings" is the ultimate reality which infuses and is behind all of this, whether I can personally interact with them or not. Strictly speaking though, this was a personal sidebar which really has no place in a thread dedicated to a topic as mundane as the US election, and I probably should've kept my mouth shut.
As far as bridging the two worlds, I previously described it as being an outcast of both and not fully belonging to either; caught in between. The world in which I am writing this is the lower world of materialists, where things proceed largely according to mechanical laws, and from which spirit has largely been stolen. It has its purpose, but my sense is that it has passed its sell-by date, and is either going to blow up or become completely insufferable at some point. To me it is a dead world. The higher world is full of mirage and trickery, but is also brimming with potential and represents the hope of the future. IF I were a shaman in this time, I would perceive my role to open the door to the higher world so that people can escape from the closing of cyclical destruction. But Laura is the shaman, I'm just here for additional entertainment
Shamanic meanderings aside, in conclusion I believe that the universe helps those who help themselves. "Changes after turmoil" are not going to whisk anyone away, but
may meet you halfway. That's going to involve some combination of physical, legal, emotional, etc conflict and lots of it.
