It Was All A Dream

[claypoolfan]

Yeah that's a pretty common one for me, except it's usually that I cut a bunch of class or didn't study and am about to take the final pretty much blind.

[clouddead]

That’s mine too. Haven’t gone to class all semester, don’t know where class even is, and have to take a final.

Me too, not too long ago I had one where I was in a building looking for the classroom.

I had another music festival dream the other night.

All the music was cover bands without lead singers. If you knew the lyrics you could get up on stage and sing. Every stage was like this. I got on stage and sang something, but I can't remember the song I did.

stephanie beatriz is my friend and has asked me to curate a playlist for between bands at a show she's playing. i am meticulous about it. the venue is radio city music hall but there's a food court/casino on the back half of the floor. we drop off shirts at the merch table and then stop by a food cart. my playlist is banging. "closer" by nine inch nails starts but is quickly cut off because the next band is going on. it's nine inch nails. i feel like an idiot putting them on a playlist for a show they are actually playing. i ask stephanie why she didn't tell me nine inch nails was apparently opening. but she is in an argument with the food cart guys, so i walk to the edge of the seating area to watch.

trent is in the aisle wearing a white dress shirt, bright blue tie, white pants and a white lab coat. his microphone is the really thin one that bob barker used on The Price is Right. he's also wearing a big gold name tag that says "frank." there is a man in runner's attire frantically reading off a piece of paper and an excited woman also dressed in all-white with a blue tie standing next to him. i realize that this couple is getting married and the lyrics to a song have been changed to their vows. the runner guy clearly had no idea this was happening and is freaking out. stephanie walks by me and i lose her in the crowd before i wake up.

I had a dream that I was at the Oscars and they were about to announce Best Director. Nomadland had just won Best Picture and Frances McDormand was about to accept Best Director.

Except, they announced Alec Baldwin as the winner as director of a film I can’t remember. Everyone was shocked and he refused to take the stage, I was searching the crowd for him but the vibe of the whole room was that he was deferring and persuading her to go accept the award

Once she got up there he walked up and took the Oscar

I'm on a team of explorers making a series of dives into an enormous, vividly colored underwater mouth. We work with cat guides who are native to the giant psychedelic mouth. We also work with mice, who are able to get into the smaller spaces in the caverns and carry samples back. At the end of a successful dive, the team is relaxing on the giant tongue and laughing at one of the cat guides, who's flopped over to have his belly rubbed. Then, we realize that the cat has rolled over and squashed my favorite mouse, a white mouse with yellow ears and tail.

Cute and terrifying!

several boarders (Tweet, borracho, others made up in my head) have traveled to DC for a music festival. one boarder who works at the CIA has invited us for a tour. we are allowed in to see the museum and library. there is nothing at all special about either, other than the idea you're inside the CIA. then at night we walk over to a different building to meet the employee. unfortunately, it is very busy and he cannot allow us in to that section then. "maybe later." some of us stay outside. a couple of us leave. eventually, much later on, the employee sneaks one person into this ultra top security building. when we regroup, they talk about how it was relatively boring.

I'm in a storage warehouse inside the arena putting a bunch of things in a big box when Post Malone shows up and strikes up a conversation. He sees whatever task I am doing and says its really cool. I think to myself that its wild that his real voice doesn't sound anything like it does on the record. I ask him if he's ready for his big show tonight and he smiles and says something to the effect of "yes, it will be wild"

He walks around a corner and says "Justin?" I follow around the corner. Post is gone, but Justin Bieber is standing at a row of lockers, about to put a backpack inside one of them. I give him a head-nod and keep walking. I look down and realize I am carrying a basket of unfolded laundry.

I get back to my office and it is full of boarders which seems completely normal. People are discussing which boarders are "never late for anything, ever."

i had a dream that i saw the national cover "so you say you lost your baby" by gene clark. then the crowd thinned out big time after a few songs and i saw some friends who i almost only see at shows and obviously now haven't seen in like a year and a half.

[venom]

in this dream i was at primavera sound. it was a street fest in the city. a video plays on a giant screen before gates open. it shows the strokes playing and people cheer. the festival has not released a lineup or schedule. there are only two stages. since there is no schedule, no one knows who is playing or when.

some music starts at one stage. everyone flocks to see who's there. it's the chemical brothers and jamiroquai. another band plays in the middle of the street. it's actors from Boy Meets World playing vampire weekend songs. a train runs right through the middle of the crowd. it has an engine and one glass car that bong joon ho is sitting in.

[clouddead]

I want to go to there

i've had show-related dreams the last three nights.

in this one, i'm at the empty bottle, except it's very different. there's a big parking lot out front on western. (looks like the jewel next to lane tech.) there's a yard out back. in the yard is a merch hut. across the grass from that is a small music room that is just the stage and the area directly in front of it. basically, cut off the steps and the bar. inside is an actual box office, a pool table, and then a larger music room.

i'm there with a couple random people and dinosaur jr is supposed to play. i pay for my ticket and then look at records in the merch hut. the only one i can remember is the new japanese breakfast, except it's a green background and the album is called Holler Lint. i put it back and go inside for the show only to find out dinosaur jr cancelled. so i leave. i get on my bike, but can't cross western and end up on a bumpy sidewalk.

One of my very common dreams is to have something happen to my teeth, mostly them falling out and/or grinding into dust or something. I had one of those last night, which was compounded by the fact I was supposed to be leading a group of various people on a journey to recover something. Apparently it's a sign of major life changes happening, which, hey, I've had some of those recently!

[cosmo]

I've read that dreaming of your teeth falling out is a fear of sickness or disease.

Update: the journey (and more teeth loss) came from shooting pool with my uncles I haven’t seen in years with solely Orange 8 balls on my nap this afternoon

I have a recurring dream in which Dan Levy is my bestie and, when he's in town, gets ready for dates at my place.

I've had this dream like four times now.

i get a static-filled phone call reminding me that i have tickets for a festival in iraq being headlined by pulp and robyn. it's a month away and i start looking for flights and hotels. all of the hotels are super expensive and i realize the fest is too far from an airport and i'll need to rent a car. so i start reading about road conditions in iraq and i'm thinking "why am i going to iraq for a music festival? this is crazy."

i'm sitting in the back of a classroom and the topic is kanye - what he's up to, what he'll do in the future, etc. the teacher is trying to drum up conversation and students are just like "i guess he puts out another album soon." then i pipe up, and everyone's surprised because i am apparently a quiet kid. and i start launching into this whole diatribe about when a new album will be released, when a next tour will begin and why then, what cities he'll play, how the stage production will look, etc. the whole classroom is abuzz talking about my ideas and thinking that i know what i am talking about. but i am just spitballing. this is one of the only school dreams i've had in the last 20 years or so that wasn't centered around anxiety about missing a class the whole year and then having to take a final.

i also had a dream where i had to set up some programming on the phone. when i was done with it, i was walking through a waiting room, saw my girlfriend, and told her "you know what's a really good song? 'da doo run run.'" and then i went into a meeting with my dad.

airportman and myself are with our significant others at a poorly-attended Gorillaz theater show. a note starts to drone out from the stage and i tell him, "i think this is gonna be melancholy hill!" and he grins and nods. sure enough, they go into "on melancholy hill" and we separate ourselves from the ladies and jump up and down enthusiastically behind them while the songs plays

[zircona1]

It's Christmas morning, and I've forgotten to buy presents.

I want to have this dream.

Last night I dreamt that I flew somewhere because someone had died and I ended up inheriting a large parrot. I had resigned myself to keeping this parrot and not getting rid of it. I flew back and put the parrot in the overhead bin in its cage, which it was chill about. I had no idea how to care for it and I woke up from the dream as I was pulling in to the parking lot of the Petco at Clark and Halsted to ask them wtf I should do.

I had a 2nd apartment next to a McDonalds packed with all sorts of tech equipment (new computers, Beats headphones, fancy TVs, etc.) that I apparently had lived in for like a year but never paid any rent on. I guess I spent all of it on electronics. I kept trying to load up a backpack full of stuff to leave but the backpack kept getting bigger and I put more and more stuff in there. Someone texted me asking when I was coming through to "make a deal". The McDonalds workers were taking out the trash, closing up shop at 1:30 in the morning. I was finally ready to leave when I woke up.

I also had a dream last night where I got back into acting. I’m having severe brain fog today and yesterday morning as well. I have not been sleeping well and I never remember my dreams (or even have dreams) so it’s really freaking me out

[chvrchbarrel]

Last night I dreamt I was at the old Reckless Records on Broadway, and while flipping through the “new arrivals” browser I found an original pressing of Nighthawks at the Diner, still sealed, for $7

[zircona1]

I'm in an expensive restaurant, sitting at a table out on the floor by myself. All the other tables and booths are packed with people, and I know they're all staring at this guy who's all alone. I also know that the staff isn't going to make me leave without ordering a pricey entree.

i'm at a rocket from the crypt show. the singer plays a couple songs from an ipad and i figure the actual performance won't start soon, so i take a walk around the block. i then run into the singer down the block. he invites two women to the show. he and i then go to a water park to wait for them. a guy asks what i'm doing. i say i'm going to a concert. he asks a bunch of questions about the band and is apparently content with my answers. then two other guys start asking similar questions, but they are very intimidating. they offer me a cigarette that i take but don't smoke. then i look for a bathroom and walk into a movie theater. before i get there, my sister calls to ask when i am coming back. i tell her i'm going to a show. she asks how that's possible when i was just at her house two hours earlier.

i have had 3 or 4 rocket from the crypt-related dreams over covid times. way more than dreams about any other band.

my girlfriend and i are sitting on folding chairs at the back of an elementary school gymnasium while keith richards jams with a couple other guitarists who i simply can't remember. keith tells a story that i have a false memory of hearing multiple times at rolling stones shows. then rick nielsen and another guy who's in cheap trick (only in the dream) walk in and both say hi to me. the other guy stops to talk. they clearly think i'm someone else. i pretend to be that other person and stay pretty vague ("yeah, things are good. i'm keeping busy"). he then continues on into a windowed room behind us where rick is. my girlfriend is like "what is going on?" that's about when i woke up.
