Wierdest Inclusion of a band/artist in a dream of yours

I had a WIERD one the other night, as I often do during finals time - Vernon Reid was Death, told me a I died in my sleep, and that I wouldn't get to take my finals. I was SO pissed. I started yelling at him, and demanded why he hadn't done more Yohimbe Bros. stuff. I actually think I'm going to do well this year.

Never mind my impending bachelor party/wedding/honeymoon/summertime...I want to take my finals!

Why the hell was Vernon Reid Death?

I forgot that Hutchence committed suicide until very recently.

I think it had something to do with a reccuring dream I had where he'd come to my desk in work and start singing 'never tear us apart' before buying a copy of a John Major biography (I worked in a bookshop + was semi-obsessed with who would ever buy that piece of crap) and he'd leave without paying.

After I stopped working there the dreams ended. Song still freaks me out though.

"don't ask me"

actually just thinking about that dream has me feeling freaked out.

From Have you ever had a dream like this?

I was once a fixer music mogul type guy who patched up the Eldritch/Hussey/Marx/Adams Sisters line up. I even got Eldritch to wear a Santa hat and join Hussey in one of those awful Melody Maker Christmas photo shoots.

The other night I dreamt about watching the Australian charts and the slow rise of a Throwing Muses song getting into the Top 40. I'm not sure if the Oz charts really work in a Top 40/Top 100 fashion like in America but okay.

After reading this whole series of dream journals written by Cex I had a dream with in it. Not that suprising. But I think he sung me a new song he was working on called "hush" I think. And it was a rock song, and I think he sung it all, like with the guitar sounds and whatnot.

Once I dreamt i was in a lollapalooza, so i got Beastie Boys, Cibo Matto and Nine Inch Nails... glorious night... like 8 years ago.

One time I dreamt Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins were my English teachers and I called Dave Grohl "Dave" and not "Mr. Grohl" and he gave me a stern look on his face, which seem very odd.

This dream was particularly odd because I hadn't had a dream with Dave Grohl in it for about a year.

not me, but a friend of mine had a dream that Shaun Ryder was giving her one while she was straddled over the kitchen sink, this was Black Grape era Shaun btw

The other night I dreamt that Morrissey lived in the appartment downstairs from mine and I desperately wanted to have a chat with him and ask him to sign some stuff. So I knocked on his door and there was this shy, gentle Morrissey from The Smiths who politely asked me to come back later. When I did, I discovered that he was in fact Darth Vader. It was scary. Then I woke up and I was sort of amused by the obvious meaning of it.

Over the summer, I had a looong-ass dream that I remember strangely large chunks of. The parts relevant to the thread?...

A Joan Jett concert. Joan's leaning out a hotel window on "Telegraph Avenue," singing and guitarring "Bad Reputation." 'Cept she has blonde Shirley Temple curls and a housewife dress, for some reason. I rush in to meet her at the end of the show, and she's kissing the bald head of this shy Old Guy. He's stammering and painfully awkward and she's kinna pacifying him. After he leaves, I introduce myself, and she tells me in hushed tones to venture up to "room forty."

...Room Forty is like this secret gathering of Communists, but if I keep going, this will be a novel.

03:56 pm: OK I had this retarded dream before I got up this morning. I seemed to be simultaneously reading AND watching biographies about Morrissey.

The book described Moz's obsession with David Bowie - apparently so well-documented by the UK press that Bowie gave him a custom-made 2 LP set of Moz's favourite tracks.

However, Bowie was replaced by Rod Stewart in the video biography. Morrissey didn't even show up to receive the records - he sent a female assistant. Rod looked very hurt - "but it's one-of-a-kind." The assistant took the records, got in her limo and drove away, leaving Rod sad and lonely on a deserted English street. The double LP didn't even have enough songs to fill out all four sides.

I dreamt I saw the talking heads circa '79-'80 play on a dank street in some southern or central american country. No one else was really paying attention, and I had to keep plugging in their equipment for them because little kids and dogs would keep unplugging it.

I dreamt I was building a hot rod with James Murphy, and we totally tricked it out. We argued about the paint job for a really long time, but we both eventually agreed on a deep purple. Neither of us were sure whether we wanted to hook up and xbox or a PS2 to the built in LCD screens. When we were done with the car, we had a cook out.

I think I wrote once about the one where I played guitar with Emerson Lake and Palmer - 32 guitarists on stage, all wearing light blue Graham Parsons suits.

But the one that still haunts me is where the guys from Queen chased me down in an old Chevy Impala. It had 10 lights on the front, and they counted down like a drag race tree - the Tenth, the ninth, the eighth .. "the twoth (tooth)".. And then Brian May guns it and they start heading straight for me as I scramble up a 10 foot snowbank by the side of the road. God, Queen were real dicks.

I won't repeat my dream about John "Mahavishnu" McLaughlin, it's over on ILE somewhere

I had one recently where I got on a bus and James Murphy was driving it.

Joe Jackson died in a dream of mine the other night. I had to Google it when I got up to make sure it didn't happen. I don't really ever think about the guy, so that was a weird detail for my dream to throw at me.

This morning I dreamed I was listening to the Pet Shop Boys doing a cover of ELO's "Boy Blue." So I listened to their Disco 3 on my way to work and it actually seemed really sensible.

Had a dream that Dave Lombardo died. Was pretty bummed until I woke up!

I'm trapped in a flooded, abandonded mine shaft. The water has risen to about 4 feet from the ceiling. I'm paddling on a large timber, the kind that they used to frame out the walls of a mine, paddling like a surfer that's going out to the big waves does, straddling the timber and paddling with my hands.

I come to a larger room and there is light shining down in the middle of the open water. I paddle out to it and I look up into the hole and see the sky. Then Metallica appears! They throw down a rope, except the rope in this case is a Nintendo 64 controller attached to a long cord. They pull me up in one quick motion and I land in the back of a pickup truck. They drive me around in the back of a pickup truck and we proceed to get drunk off Busch Light.

This was a very vivid dream. I think it means that I am a dork.

I once dreamt I was backstage talking to Neko Case (I guess I was interviewing her or something) and I got really angry with her because she was refusing to do another New Pornographers album. Then I was saying "Oh well, at least we'll still have A.C. Newman albums" as if implying that she wasn't really talented and thus not really necessary in the band despite the fact that I knew this wasn't true.

Also, I'm pretty sure I was secretely in love with Neko Case in this dream, which is why I got so angry.

Also, I'm probably secretly in love with Neko Case in real life too.

We promise not to tell her.

I dreamt last night I was dating Britney Spears. We had sex and went shopping for keyboards at the mall. The only problem was that I had to travel back in time to hang out with her. I was in the present, and she was in early 2003. That's my guess, at least, because I think she was recording In the Zone at the time. She told me it was going to be dedicated to me. I really wanted to tell her that she should release "Toxic" as the first single instead of "Me Against the Music" -- I was already thinking of ways to tell her nicely that I thought "Me Against the Music" was shit -- but I was afraid of changing history.

I had a dream once where i was bestowed with superman-like powers by ghosts right before a weather-related apocalypse and i flew to a cave where there was a small group of people living and the mountain goats were playing there. when I heard tmg i knew that i was at home and we all huddled in the cave until the apocalypse ended and then i walked outside to make sure it was over (since i was the one with superpowers) and when i looked outside the entire world had been wiped clean and i knew that it was my duty to lead these cave people and start the human race over again, and somehow not repeat the mistakes that made the weather catastrophe necessary.

one year passes...
Last night I dreamt that Evan Dando (WTF?) was staying at my house. He had short hair and was disheveled looking and kept talking about how he just got out of rehab. He also kept saying "I'm dying...I think I'm dying". He was really out of it.
He went to my bookshelf to find something to read, picked up a copy of "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" and said, "Hey, I've read this!".
He was looking at my guitars and I said, "Sorry, they're all left-handed." He laughed and said, "It's ok, it's not my stuff."
Then I woke up.

i had a dream 2 nights ago that i won a "feedback machine", which was basically a sports car decked out w/ an old school analogue synth inside it. (the kind w/ the patch cables) it was delivered to me and put together by lee ranaldo, but as he was putting it together i started absentmindedly disconnecting it. then i realized that i shouldn't mess w/ it, so i re-connected those parts before he noticed. didn't get to test it out before i woke up

many, many years ago i dreamed U2 were playing in my local shopping centre ... only adam clayton hadn't turned up. so they got me in to play bass. i only did one song - something off "achtung baby", i think - before i got bored, because nobody was paying any attention except an old woman with a tartan shopping trolley.

six years pass...

Bono's girlfriend was a whale and he was floating around at the top of the ocean, holding onto one of her flukes. Suddenly, she dove down into the deeps. The last we heard from him was a long, bubbly "Noooooooooooooooo!"

this morning I dreamt I met axl rose near an outdoor swimming pool, although he looked more like jon bon jovi. he was funny and charming and I thought I got this guy all wrong. he had an acoustic guitar in his lap and was writing songs for his new album.

In a very noir-ish dream, I was running through a train station parking lot in the middle of the night, assassins on my heels, and under a streetlight I passed Stevie Nicks wearing a wicker nun's habit.

Miles Davis and Don Knotts. Not separately, I mean they were the same person - faces melded together seamlessy. Long time ago and locked in my mind's eye for life.
