thanks, John.

on related note, Ive been trying to get a hold of a copy of this to read.
sadly out of print

The author recounts the strange dreams and nightmares of Germans at the
inception of the Nazi takeover. these dreams show--with haunting
resonance--how people are remade from the inside out by totalitarian
regimes.

someone should study the dreams/nightmares of the alt-right in the US.
would explain alot
