Dream about Dream Theater and stuff
I had a pretty cool dream. One of the coolest in recent memory. At first, I ended up taking a part-time job with some company. At first, they have me work with this chihuahua (sp) that's really smart. I actually end up liking the dog despite my slight prejudice against tiny dogs. Then, the company calls me and asks me to do another job for them. It's at night and I go to the top deck of my real life house. Surprisingly, it has enough room for a helicopter to land on it. I forgot to mention that the phone the company provided me with is awesome and has a video communicative capabilities. My boss tells me that I have to do this. They load me into the helicopter and have me suited up in this really light but durable armor. I'm landed into a dark urban sector with many other armored people. There's apparently this bio-organic green liquid that starts pouring from places. I see a few people get killed by it when they have their skin exposed. Some people shoot their rifles (I dunno when we got those) at the liquid and an alien lifeform responds to it and dies. It goes into first person view and I see this torrent of green liquid coming towards me, so I start firing frantically. Unfortunately it's not enough to stop it. I get knocked back and consumed in the liquid, but I'm still alive. It comes back for a second round and I'm knocked down again. Eventually, I'm completely submerged in the green goo. I fade out of consciousness.
I wake up and leave the company. I head back to Tattnall which is now in downtown Macon and also resembles several of the buildings of downtown Macon. I see a poster on the door that says some bands are performing including Lacuna Coil and DREAM THEATER!! I think Lacuna Coil was in my dream because we had been talking about lacunae in biology, hah. The venue is pretty crappy. Maybe about the size of my bedroom... a little bigger. Lacuna Coil is performing. Nothing special. I go into the hallway and see James Labrie being interviewed and I totally spazz out. Then, I see John Myung walking towards the dressing room. I spazz out again and start trying to talk to him. He's surprisingly talkative... at least for him. He has a different haircut... it's shoter than his usual length. I ask him if there's a bass solo in the new Systematic Chaos album and ask if I could hear it. He says "Yeah sure." and we go into the dressing room Mike Portnoy is to the left of me and over towards the other side of the room is John Petrucci and Jordan Ruddess and James Labrie. Myung takes out his purple bass and messes with the setting a little. I hear a slightly synth. sound from the bass and he stops. He looks at me and says "I forgot the words." and I say "Quit joking around man." And then I make a comment about his hair. I think I said "Wow you cut your hair! It doesn't go down to your ass anymore." and Mike Portnoy dies laughing. I forgot what I said to him but turned around to start talking to the other guys. I approach them and start spazzing out again and fall to the ground, pretending that I fainted. They laugh a little... I remember getting myself to get up from there, but unfortunately, I tried too well and I woke up in real life. :-\ So I never got to talk to JP, JR, or JLB. Bah. T'was a very cool dream. One of the best in recent memory.
