Scenes from my Dreams

Notes: More from an active night of dreaming, and no surprise... another band involved. Foods Eaten: Taco Salad The Dream: I arrived at a concert venue I'd never been to before to see/photograph Bring Me The Horizon. It seemed like an upscale theater, there was a main level, but credential pick up and entry for photographers was on a lower level. The box office was surrounded by glass windows. I don't remember actually asking for my credentials, but I remember walking down a hallway with more glass windows and opening up a white envelope that had my photo pass inside. The hallway led straight into the photo pit in front of the stage. It was a massive pit, too. The floor was a light hardwood and there was even a small barricaded pathway through the center of the crowd to the soundboard like there would be at a large festival. I dropped my camera bag under a barricade to the right of center and went to pacing around the photo pit as I usually do before a show starts. Event...

Notes: Having lots of dreams with band members in them lately. Clearly excited for ShipRocked. The Dream: I was at an Amorphis concert in an unknown venue. Papa Roach's vocalist Jacoby was off to the left of the stage, on the general admission floor, rocking out with everyone else. I noticed him and went to talk to him, subconsciously thinking about the photo book I made that I wanted to show him. He was excited to see me, gave me a hug and proceeded to talk to me in his typical, over-hyped manor. The conversation didn't feel like it lasted long before he said he had to go, but that we could catch up later. I debated following him out of the venue and running to my car to get the book to show him before he totally disappeared, but I didn't want to leave the show, so I stayed through the end. I'm pretty sure the "venue" ended up just being in someone's actual house. I vaguely recall talking to a few women while I was hanging around after the show, but ...

Notes:  Glad my dream recollection seems to be quickly kicking back into gear now that I'm focusing on it again. This one really seemed to lack plot. Foods Eaten: Taco Casserole The Dream: I'm standing on a paved road, headed towards a house that is built into the side of a hill. I know this house belongs to an old friend, Tana. This is all I seem to recall about this portion of the dream... I've ended up headed down a longer paved road - it's kind of dark out and surrounded by forest. The road slopes steeply downward, and when I get to the bottom there is a large hill with a tall house built on top. Subconsciously, I know that this house belongs to my family and that we had just moved in. Again, this doesn't seem to have any further significance to the overall dream... Now I'm in a small room, set up to hold an audience for a performance. I take a seat in a fold out chair near the back of the room. The lighting in the room dims, but a few more people c...

Notes: I can't remember if this dream was from last night or the night before that. I remember thinking about it, but then forgot, but suddenly it popped back into memory. Foods Eaten: Eggnog and grapes (I am SO excited eggnog is back!!!) Dream Location: It was at some unfamiliar one story, looong house. The Dream: I was in a room of a house. The room was plain white, with a white tiled floor and high ceilings. The only thing odd was that instead of the ceiling being slanted, the floor was slanted - like a lowered platform sort of thing. There were shelves on the wall, stocked with boxes, like a warehouse. There was a door to the right that led to the rest of the house, up a small set up stairs. On one side of the room was the main entry door to the house, and opposite that door was another door that lead into what was apparently a concert venue. The venue door was under a canopy type cover, making the area around it dark, but lit up by blacklights. There was an old schoo...

Notes: Side affects of watching a lot of Top Gear... Unfortunately I don't remember most of the dream. Foods Eaten: Philly Cheese Steak Dream Location: Not Sure The Dream: I was sitting in the front row of a seated concert hall with TJ. We were watching Top Gear, except Top Gear was a band, not a TV show. Though it did feature all the members of Top Gear as the band members. I remember TJ called something out to Jeremy Clarkson, who was playing the guitar, though I don't remember what he said.

Notes: Uhh... when concerts meet video games? Foods Eaten: Mac & Cheese Dream Location: Some sorta stone-like maze The Dream: I was in what was like a stonehenge maze... there were large rock walls placed randomly around a field outside. I'm not sure what I was doing, just wandering around the structures, when I ran into a guy named Alan, who plays guitar for a local NC band called Union County. He had his guitar, and was playing it, but as soon as he saw me, he started to attack me - but the attacks were in a form specific to that game I've mentioned a few times before, Avalon... I ended up running away unharmed, but I'm not sure what else happened...

Notes: I wish! Foods Eaten: Hot Chocolate with a big ass marshmallow and two alcoholic beverages Dream Location: Skewed version of my house, Banquet Hall The Dream: I was on a sidewalk in some sort of  city neighborhood. It reminded me a lot of Buffalo, New York; where my Grandma lives. I crossed the street and entered a house - apparently a strange version of my family's house - it was laid out exactly the same, but seemed more... vintage, I guess. It was extremely messy and cluttered inside, there were boxes and paper everywhere. I felt compelled to clean up our foyer table, at least. I seem to recall talking to my dad, and arguing with my sister, though I don't remember about what. I ended up storming out of the house. Next thing I know, I am inside some very large banquet hall... apparently they were having the VMA awards there. I bumped into a girl that I did not know, she asked, "Do you know the band HIM? They're from Sweden or something, I think."...

Notes: Wish this dream would really happen! Foods Eaten: Hot Buffalo Wings Dream Location: Some concert venue (outside), A record store The Dream: I was walking into an outdoors concert venue to see a Sick Puppies concert. I walked down towards the stage, noting how small the crowd seemed, considering how well known Sick Puppies are. As I walked towards the stage, the lead singer, Shim, starting announcing the names of the winners to a contest they were apparently having. The first name he called was mine. I walked up to the stage, where Shim congratulated me, and told me that I would get to hang out with the band after the show. He also explained that I would get a magazine later, and gave me instructions to take a photo of someone at the concert, then find the person afterward and take three more pictures of them. I was told to report to the band when I was done. After Shim finished announcing the winners, they began the concert. Shim only sang the first verse to the song, ...

Notes: I woke up and only recalled a small portion of this dream at first, but I kept asking myself why that particular thing happened in my dream, and managed to recall a good majority of it. I'm pretty excited, because it's been a really really long time since I can recall flying in a dream. Foods Eaten: Cheesey biscuits, Coconut Shrimp Dream Location: My Aunt Sue's house The Dream: I was in a bedroom, there were two twin beds in the room - my sister was half asleep in one of them. There was a dresser on another wall in the room, I was digging around through it, trying to find a particular shirt. I remember I was looking for a Five Finger Death Punch shirt. I guess the noise I was making fully woke my sister up, and I asked her if she wanted to go to a Five Finger Death Punch concert with me. She asked what time. I don't remember what I told her, but she ended up agreeing to go. The next thing I know, I'm in a very large bathroom. I don't recall see...
