just a few months before i started playing,i was thinking about taking bass up.and one night,i had a dream that i was playing eruption on bass.

.and from that point on,i was totally set,i knew i was going to start playing eventually.ironically(thanks to Alvaro)i actually learned how to play some of eruption on bass

,but even though i had the dream,i never thought i'd be able to do actually play it one day!!

I have a recurring dream that I'm playing a very important gig, everything is fine, but then the neck of my bass becomes very floppy as if its made of rubber. I keep trying to 'snap' it rigid by pulling it straight, but I can't. Somehow I manage to keep playing while doing it but it sounds awful.

Sorry if this isn't really bass related, but at least it's about music...
This morning just before I woke up, I was making up a 2-chord song in my dream, and the lyrics were
"Mommy's got a gun
Daddy's gotta run"

Nobody's ever dreamed wearing his PJs on stage or is it just usually a "back to school" dream?

I dreamt I was playing this gig, but when I got up on stage to play I realised that I'd left my bass at home. Somehow I'd managed to soundcheck while not realising I'd forgotten it :S

Anyway so I'm frantically looking around for someone who can lend me a bass, when my friend (who also plays bass) says he can lend me his keyboard (which he doesn't play in real life). I ended up playing the bass lines on a keyboard which I can't actually play.. weird!

I dreamt I was going to this club to play in a pick-up band and on my way over there I asked the guy putting it together who the drummer would be and he said "Clem Burke". (drummer for Blondie.)

Craziest thing to dream cause I didn't even really like Blondie that much. But when I heard that I was pretty stoked cause I know he's good.

I woke up before I got to the gig, so I never did get to "play" with the Clem-ster.

I dreamed I was playing some computer game at some weird place and my Jazz bass was in it's hardcase not far from me. When I got up, suddenly it was gone, so I started to get out of the place fast (It was like on the 4th floor of some building). I then see the case on the ground and when I open it, it's empty! I keep on running for a few seconds, see some girls with it. When I get to her, she disappears like a rogue in some computer game.

I've had this about a week ago after playing a ton of Dragon Age Origins and getting ready for a gig. ._.

I had a dream recently about me and my girlfriend's wedding.

We want to have a live band play, so I thought my band could play and just have a temp bassist for cover songs and I jump on quickly for original songs. Seemed like a good idea (and the idea is now being used for our wedding)

Anyways, she is desperate for the song Don't Stop Believing by Journey to be our first dance, so I accept the idea. In the dream we're dancing to that and my band is playing it. The night carries on like normal but for the last song I jump on stage and we play Don't Stop Believing once more.

This time, I jump on keyboards and bass, and swap between the two. We nail the song and everyone loves it. I can't play keyboard, however the night after the dream my cousin offers me a free keyboard. Needless to say, Don't Stop Believing will be my first song to learn.

Dream seems unreal... Possibly a flashforward? (Someone on here must watch that show XD)
