Dreamed I started an Om style two piece with the drummer from The Chicks. I was playing through an amp that had no eq, except a giant volume knob that said "Lo!" on it and kind of looked a bit daisy rock (the knob that is, the amp looked filthy as fuck). Even at a low volume, it was the sweetest, dirtiest bass sound I've ever heard.

I cranked the bastard and came up with an awesome riff that sounded like Om, but way, way, way less goyish. Had some ass to it, you know? Woke up humming the fucker. But now it's gone, of course.

From a dream I had months ago:

I was traveling with someone to Faiz's home/recording studio which was located in a lighthouse. Based on the landscape it felt like we were either in Massachusetts or Maine; definitely East coast.

The place looked small on the outside but the inside was like a small, labyrinthine mansion with lots of wooden built-in bookshelves and piles of equipment and various projects cluttering the crowded but organized place.

I was excited to be there and to start working on things. Faiz was giving us a tour through many tiny rooms and picking up random gadgets here and there. Different items he would pick up, explain, and press buttons while they hummed and sometimes sparked.

The item he was most excited to share with us was this Transformers-style mixing console that could "Ka-CHUNK" be arranged into different configurations that would allow it to be either a 4, 8, or 12 input mixer depending on what you needed. It looked like a big gray toy that was designed in the 70's and there was a black handle on the side that you could moved backwards and forwards. The entire mixer would suddenly separate into distinct sections and crash back together. It was cool. I couldn't understand how the electronics all held together.

And then I woke up.

I dreamt that I was being pursued by the bad guy from No Country for Old Men, for something that had to do with a model train set that a lady built in the trunk of my car. He wanted to see the train set in my trunk, and then said he would have to kill me. At this point I realized I was being possessed by the lady and was the one who built the train set. I asked him if he meant to kill me or the lady, and he said the lady, and that he would kill her spirit that was possessing me but leave me intact and that weird air tank gun thing he used in the movie could do that. Remembering that he was a shady character in the movie, i figured he would probably kill me too. So I asked if I could get some aspirin first, since it would probably hurt when he killed the lady, and he said go ahead, I'll wait. I was getting some aspirin from the medicine cabinet and turns out I was at my parents' house, so I decided I would pretend to be going to the bathroom while I snuck downstairs to get my old hunting rifle. I spent a long time going over in my head whether to use my rifle or to use my dad's shotgun or rifle, deciding which one would be the best at killing him, then I heard him upstairs saying "are you done yet? I don't have all day!" So I grabbed one of the guns and somehow got back into the bathroom and replied "can you wait until I'm done peeing?" Then I opened the door with the gun at the ready and he said "I gotta leave, it's 5:00 and that's quitting time, gotta go home to see the wife". I asked him when he started taking downtime from being a contract killer, and he was like "I just got married and that's becoming an issue balancing home and work, so I put in my 8 hours and go home to a nice hot meal. Also it's March Madness and spring training is starting so I wanna catch Sportscenter and see how my bracket and fantasy baseball team is doing." He had the air gun thing pointed at my forehead while he was saying this, and I had the rifle barrel up against his chin, and I had to bullshit like I cared about basketball and convince him to go home in case he changed his mind. Then I woke up.

Every single dream I had last night was set in the Firefly universe. Got to bed about 12:30, Firefly dream. Got up to take a piss at 3 or so, back to bed, Firefly dream. Son woke me up asking if he could go downstairs yet around 5 AM, settled back in, Firefly dream until the alarm went off. The hell?

I hope the majority at least featured Morena Baccarin.

I think that one would be "who".

And Morena Baccarin.

I had a dream last night that Fugazi got back together to do a show. I was in another room when a band was warming up and I heard pop/slap bass going on and I said to the person next to me "Who the fuck is opening for Fugazi?". Then the person said "That's Joe Lally playing right now". I was a bit confused so I went into the other room to see what was going on. Then the band started. You would think this would be a good thing but they started playing really bad Weekend Warrior type white man blues stuff. WOW! Not good! Then they took a break and I saw Ian going through a suitcase up in the balcony area. I thought he was about to take out some effects pedals and then I looked in the suitcase and he had this really weird aluminum thing that he said Kevin of EGC made but it looked like some kind of weird art thing rather than something to make music with. Then he pulled out what actually looked like an effects box and said that is was made by BBGS. This is when I woke up.

Please don't let me dream ever again, this is not cool.

I seem to keep having a partial fragment of a dream before being woken up by my radio alarm clock. Tonight I think I'll go to bed early - like 10 PM, so I get over the 5-5 1/2 hours I've been having lately, and hopefully I will have a dream come to full fruition.

Postby Marsupialized on Tue Mar 22, 2011 5:20 pm

Last night, in my dream I was in Ancient Rome. I was walking around the city trying to not let anyone catch on that I was not supposed to be there. I was wearing, and I have no idea why, a fluorescent green and yellow 'body glove' wet suit like the dude from living color would wear. I duck into a house and rip the drapes down and cover myself with them and go outside and walk around to check shit out. In my dream it smelled like something really delicious was cooking, I kept asking where I could buy whatever it was. A dude said it was rats cooking and they cost 'Seven Partitions'. I asked if they would take Canadian money and he said 'You better not be making jokes like that here'
At that point, a train pulled up, but the train drove on huge monster truck tires. A dude got out and said 'This thing rocks, bro!'
I pretended like I did not know what he was talking about, I had the feeling he was there to try and find people from the future and arrest them. He eventually walked into the city and I climbed aboard and started the train but it wouldn't move forward. I remembered that he put a plank of wood in the spokes of the wheel so it wouldn't move forward. I yelled at the dude who I was talking to about the rats to move it so I could go and he did. I waved and laughed and he laughed and did a weird dance. I drove for awhile at super fast speed, jumping over rocks and shit, eventually I was on the moon driving this thing. I hit a button on the console and a face popped up on a video screen and asked me if I liked breathing in space and he laughed. I did not know what he was laughing at.
I said 'I can breathe just fine' and the dude looked shocked.
Another train like mine passed me and I saw John George Peppers and PEPPER! inside, they were drinking beer and not paying attention to the controls at all. I thought it was funny, PEPPER made an elaborate gang sign at me with his hands as they passed and I did it back to him, he nodded at me, he looked very serious but I knew it was cool.
There was more, but that was about it.

Lemur was my lecturer and gave me 56% on my essay, the fucker.

Then he let me play Gasrankinstation to the whole lecture hall so all was fine. Other students weren't amused.

Had a dream I was in a PRF BBQ without ever actually going there before. A few notable things:

- circle_ruler smoked a pipe.
- Steve V. was really tall.
- Rob. G had what he thought were some sort of sweet muffins made for him when in fact there were meat substances inside.
- SecondEdition was a cool dude. We had top laughs.

I met others too, but I forget.

I had a dream where myself and friends discover a strange creature, which looked like something of an anteater with white fur and brown trim. It turned out to have mystical powers and I had it touch my shoulders with its front feet, to take the knots out of them.

I just had a long stressful dream that I yelled at a crowd of my classmates (this when I haven't been in school for a year), stole something from a library, was in denial that I had actually stolen anything, and that a bald nerdy pesty librarian who owned the library and who looked like a cross between David Cross and David Sitek was out to get me. He also was so offended by my behavior that he wouldn't actually talk to me, and instead used a whiteboard that he would scrawl on with black whiteboard marker to communicate with me. Thus I got to read things like "YOUR BEHAVIOR WAS INCREDIBLY OFFENSIVE!" and "I FELT VERY INTIMIDATED!"
Life...life...I know it's got its ups and downs.

I have no idea what I was dreaming, but I woke up with the phrases "Don't burn your bridges till that thing underneath has a chance to hatch." and "Don't forget your wizard resume." racing through my head.

In my dream, I was contacted by the French to design the fastest ocean liner ever. It had to cross the Atlantic in 36 hours... and the only way to make that happen was to install jet engines and have wings pop out of the funnels (like the old SS France) so the ship would literally fly over the ocean at low altitudes. (Such wing-in-ground tech actually does exist for small watercraft).

So, we get the thing built. It's gorgeous, like the Normandie. So, we go to sea. Since this thing can fly, the captain decides to be a jackass and fly it all over the French countryside. French people are going about their business, only to suddenly get buzzed by this 90,000 ton behemoth ocean liner-shaped aircraft and get sucked in its massive wake.

Meanwhile, the Bon Iver guy is onboard acting like a douchebag. Skipping down the promenade deck like a little kid while singing, stealing croissants off people's plates and eating them, etc.

Last night was a doozy. I was on facebook and had a bunch of friend requests that were flagged as "special", where I had to go to a warehouse to view them, and the warehouse was full of old tvs playing VHS videos of people. And you had to go locate the tvs with the friend requests on them to respond. There are a few other people walking around trying to find their requests, and I see Bob Weston walking around, so I ask him if he knows who any of these people are. He says they are folks from the Alaskan wilderness, and this is how they do facebook there because there is no internet there. So I decide there's some kind of mistake because I don't know anyone from Alaska, so I leave the warehouse by climbing a ladder to the roof.

On the roof there's a guy having a yard sale and there is a table full of coffee mugs. I notice there is a really fancy looking tea cup with a picture of the flyer from a Red Swan show in 2007. I ask the guy where he got it, because we never did much in the way of merchendise, and he says he made it. I ask him if there's a whole set, because I figure the rest of the band might want one too. I also ask him if he has them in coffee mug form since I prefer coffee to tea. He says no, there are no additional Red Swan cups or any in coffee mug form, but there is another mug I might want. He points out an electrical audio mug and he says I can have both for 2 dollars.

So I give him a dollar for each cup, and as I hand each bill to him, he pulls the artwork off of the cups and sticks them to the bills and puts them in his wallet. I'm like, "what the fuck? Give me my money back, I don't want these cups anymore." He tries to give me back different set of bills, but I insist on having the original bills. He says "don't make me get out of this chair and kick your ass." I say, "We both know you haven't gotten out of that chair in years." He says, "that's it, I'm really gonna get up now," and he puts on this ridiculous samurai helmet that's made of tupperware and is full of ice cubes. So I say, "I'll believe that when I see it, and I need some ice for my drink." and I take out a few ice cubes and put them in my mug, which is now full of a coffee. He says "you better not take my favorite ice cube." and I say "I'm gonna, what are you gonna do about it?" and I take out this really big ice cube, about the size of a rolling pin. I can't fit it in my cup so just hold on to it, and he gets out of his chair and chases after me, and he's about 8 feet tall, so I start running.

I go into this hallway with a flight of stairs at the end of it, and there's a famous actress walking (I can't remember who) down it, and I say "you better get out of the way, because it's going to get violent in here." and she says "You know I jsut told you that!" which was some kind of catchphrase from a sitcom she was on, and a laugh track starts going. And the garage sale guy is standing in front of me and he says "I always hated that show." "Me too" I say. Then he punches her and grabs onto me and gets ready to punch me, and his fists are about the size of my entire head. "Fuck this," I say, and I teleport 3 feet backwards so that his punch misses me and I catch his fist and twist it around a bunch of times, and he starts screaming really high pitched. "Shut up, you sound like a girl" I say, and I smack him across the face with the giant ice cube. Then I awoke.
