Dreamed I *almost* sat in with Floyd

Sign in to disble this ad
Last night I dreamed I won a radio contest to join Pink Floyd on stage for one song on their reunion tour. (In the dream; I know of no reunion tour in RL). I don't remember which song it was, but I practiced and practiced.

I only got to meet them the night of the show. They wouldn't even talk to me. They were *a-holes*. Total a-holes. As in, my bass wasn't even on the stage anymore by the time it got time for me to get on stage. Maybe they trashed it out of spite; maybe someone liked it and put it on the tour bus. It was just not there. I was ready to get up on stage and just play, but I spent the whole song looking for my bass.

Even after the show, nobody in the band would say anything to me about it, or even look me in the eye. I took one guy by the arm to try to get his attention - I think it was Nick Mason - and he shook me off violently.

I f*cked that dude *up*. I beat his *ss.

By then he was a 30 y.o. Asian dude, and we were in an Ace Hardware store. But it was still the same dream. I beat Nick Mason's *SS!

I'd like to beat Guy Pratt down for getting the gig post-Roger and not me.

Interesting dream indeed. If I could find my dream dictionary I would interpret it for you but since I can't, I'll just ask if you need a hug, cause that is one sad dream!

Stop sabotaging yourself and you will reach that goal you hold so dear

LOL

I had a similar dream when I was a kid. I was given a bunch of money to spend in a toy store as a present (~won a gig with Pink Floyd), but all the toys were broken (gig denied.) There were a lot more personal details, and it mimicked an actual event in my life, though taken to a hyperbolic scale, but it seemed to have the same feeling of unbelievable good fortune that turns into a horrible disappointment.

Also, don't take your kids to a toy outlet store.

Dream Book

Actually the dream bears some similarities to my experience in a previous band. (No, I didn't beat anybody's a$$.)

Best band dream to date: I was lead singer in Soundgarden and we did Jesus Christ Pose LOUD in a huge effing venue. Every note was 100% realistic. I even started to wake myself up by taking a *huge* breath in RL to do that last "poooooooooooooooooooor!" I effing nailed it.

Next best band dream: I was the newest member of Ratt and I was getting introduced around. They seemed like good guys.

I had a dream a little while ago where everything I played a voice would tell me "No! Too conventional! No! Too Predictable!"

Really? Cuz, that sucks. Was the voice recognizable? Simon Cowell? An ex?

I had a dream once where a bunch of guys I don't know told me to put tortoise shell pickguards on every instrument I have ever or will ever own.


Oh wait, that's just TB.
