Conservatives Sleep Better than Liberals, Says Researcher

Even in dreams there’s a "red state-blue state” divide – and conservatives sleep more soundly than liberals, a dream researcher has found.

Kelly Bulkeley, who teaches at the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley, Calif., has been studying how self-described liberals and conservatives dream for about 13 years, and found significant differences, the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

Liberals have more dreams than conservatives, and their dreams are more "bizarre,” said Bulkeley.

The explanation depends upon whom you ask.

The blue state explanation is that liberals "have a more open-minded and imaginative approach to the world,” said Bulkeley. "Conservatives are less imaginative and open-minded, and their dreams are less varied and less intense.”

But according to red-staters, "Conservatives are more anchored, more realistic in their approach to the world. Liberals could be seen as fanciful, their heads in the clouds, unrealistic, out of touch.”

Liberal women remember more of their dreams, have the poorest quality sleep – and report the most dreams about homosexuality.

Conservative men have the hardest time remembering their dreams, enjoy the soundest sleep – and report no dreams about homosexuality.

Bulkeley also found that when Bill Clinton was in the White House, conservatives had significantly more nightmares than liberals, according to the Daily News.

But since George Bush has become president, conservatives have had fewer nightmares – and liberals are having more.

Do they have these women's addresses?

Moony don't get much sleep when Mulder's around! What does that make her?

Conservative men can't remember their dreams because they repress them---most of them have to do with bizzare sexual processes that result from their putting a cap on normal sex drives in order to persue money and power.

Conservatives are amoral, have no conscience and no regard for others than themselves..........makes sleeping easy for them.

Sometimes you can't make up shat this funny.

Oh my god, this is the funniest thing I have ever read. But it makes total sense.
I especially can't get over conservative men having more nightmares when Clinton was PRES. They are really emotionally challenged if that is true.

[linskyjack]

Yeah, Gbrumb and Mulder dream about each other! Heck, now you can understand why wingers repress their dreams!
