Dream Journal

Feb 15 2007 (Before Midnight)

(Real
World: I had run all over town today and got thoroughly exhausted, so I
went to bed pretty early, hence the early dream.  It was frustrating,
as you see, and at the end my girlfriend woke me asking if I was all
right, I was talking in my sleep.)  This was similar to my “filk
convention” dreams.  I had a congresswoman who had heard I was a
filker, and tried to get other area filkers (I didn’t know there were
any) who had gone to other colleges out of the area to talk me into
going back to school at one of those (like, Connecticut, brrrrr). I
made it clear that I didn’t want to leave Asheville, but would be
willing to go to UNC-A.  Along the way I got talked into playing some
of my St. Iggy (my old friend M…, who is a real person except in his own mind) collection.  Every time I found a lyric sheet
and got it settled in front of me, something happened (the guitar
needed tuning or whatever) and, when I was ready to go, the lyric sheet
had disappeared.  I found it, started in, something else happened, the
lyric sheet disappeared.  This went on until my girlfriend woke me up,
as stated.  Throughout this whole dream, the scenery was vertical, like
I was climbing down (or up) a giant latticework.  I got introduced to a
whole lot of people I had heard of but hadn’t met (since I can’t
remember their names now, I don’t know if they were real people or
not).  A lot of this dream comes from the fact that I was too fatigued
to go to Open Mic Night tonight, knowing it was Jarrett’s (MC) birthday
party, must have felt really guilty or bad about missing it.  (See my
Friends list at MySpace, Jarrett Leone.  Happy Birthday, Jarrett!)
