Arrrgh. Just woke up from a long dream that I was a guest singer for Emerson, Lake, and Palmer (ELP), a mediocre supergroup from the 1970s, at a concert back home in Ottawa. I don't know why I was on stage with ELP, other than maybe I was being haunted by the group because I never thought they were anything more than mediocre (I saw them live in Ottawa in the 1970s I think). Anyway, I made my way through two songs in the ELP songbook ("Barbarian" and "Take a Pebble") and, fortunately, before having to do "Lucky Man" (which I've always felt was an overrated piece of crap) I asked myself, 'what am I doing on stage with these wankers?', and walked off after having done those two songs.Weird dream. What could it possibly mean, if anything?

Okay, now I understand why I never heard of them - I gave up on rock more or less beginning in 1980, usually just making exceptions for the Stones and CSN&Y. I went back to my roots in folk and blues around that time.
Now, back to dreams... A recurring theme in many of my dreams is that I'm falling, and as I'm falling, I discover that I can fly, and then I stop falling. ETA: I used to have such a fear of falling (in my dreams) that I took to removing the legs of my bed so I couldn't fall. I hope that makes sense.  [ 19 September 2008: Message edited by: Boom Boom ]

Music, in dreams, is generally understood to represent sensuousness or a sensual experience and stages are related to a desire to be visible or one's potential to succeed....do you perhaps have some tendency toward exhibitionism that this forum does not allow you to express?  Falling can mean the need to be grounded or to take care within a situation or sexual surrender. It is also interpreted as moral failure/not being as you should, not feeling in control of your life. Flying has to do with lack of inhibition, releasing yourself from limitations that you might impose on yourself. Does any of this resonate? I can't watch scary films either, or read scary books. I remember reading Salem's Lot, about vampires, my first year of university and it scared the bejesus out of me!! More than 30 years later I can't tolerate anything vampire-related and I still take care never to "invite" a vampire into my home. My most grown girl was a Buffy fan. It was a challenge for me to love her through this phase ETA: I have this regrettable previous life in clincial psychology. I do remember one of my Freudian profs freaking out over one of my dreams...I won't share that one here. [ 19 September 2008: Message edited by: WendyL ]

Well, I can't reveal my true identity, because then I'd be a dead man. I'm in hiding for reasons that are nobody's business but mine. quote:

Verrry interesting! quote:

More than you know!

I'd be careful about what I share as well - my opening post seemed pretty inocuous to me. I still don't know why Emerson, Lake, and Palmer choose to come after me, it's not like I dissed them in a music paper or anything.

I constantly dream of horrible strong, fast and intelligent zombies. Zombies that are hungry for brains, bloods and fresh flesh.Sometimes the dreams occur in a post-apocalyptic waste land or on a large spaceship travelling across the universe. No matter the location the dream is always the same, I always fail to protect the living. Hundreds of people are constantly eaten and the returned as more undead. Most of the time I wake up scared

I used to have a lot of nightmares as a kid. I think it was because I had such a happy childhood. I wonder if nightmares are the minds way of flushing old adrenalin, to make way for fresh supplies? Works that way with erotic dreams and semen.Anyway, I became aware of my nighmares in my dreams and have the ability to shut them down. It's been years since the demon in my dream machine has been able to scare me. He has never given up though. I actually sleep too deeply to remember many dreams, except if I take a nap with the T.V. on. A few weeks ago, I fell asleep with the history chanel on, and I had a dream about fighting Nazi's. Great dream, lousy nap. I should buy a copy of "The Notorious Betty Page" and fall asleep to that..... [ 19 September 2008: Message edited by: Tommy_Paine ]

Yeah, ELP would be a nightmare. I had friends who were really into "Yes" and while I didn't and don't detest them, that whole genre of overblown keyboards is best left behind us. When Rick Wakeman comes up in conversation, I always deadpan "...isn't he still doing fifteen to twenty for gratuitous use of a synthesizer...?" That type of music has it's place though. King Crimson, Yes, ELP and a few others are great if you have a bong, some pot, and a great pair of earphones. Sit back, close your eyes.... Reminds me. A few weeks ago I was watching an old "Who" concert on PBS, and I dreamed that night I was on stage windmilling away on a guitar.
