last night i dreamt you (piper) ringham and i had to play this show. we rehearsed it during the day and it went pretty well considering we were floating in a lake with our amps. due to having so much fun at the lake (which had inexplicable natural waterslides) we only arrived at the show at 1am, and the bouncer was pissed, but i told him that it didn't matter because the place was still packed and we were playing in a treehouse so the normal rules didn't apply. in my dream we were totally badass, no drums, you and i were playing some heavily modulated churning synth, i didn't know how to play keyboards but you had put coloured circle stickers on the keys for each of the songs (ie. we first played a song that was all keys with the yellow dots) so i wouldn't go out of key. ringham was just wailing over the top of our synth chug. anyways out of no-where this girl came up and asked if they could borrow my amp and i was like yeah sure thing. i realised i had nothing to play but this really hairy guy gave me a saxophone that looked something like a bong crossed with a brass coffee machine, i tried busting some scat noises but i could only make this one booming repetitive noise and then i realised it was a telephone and i woke up

I've had gig anxiety dreams before.

[Chaircat Manilow]

I've had ridiculous dreams about rocking up to play great shows on lineups with my heroes etc.. but something always happens to distract me from getting to play the gig!!! Will always wake up before there is any actual glory moment 

I had an amazingly profound-feeling dream about being abducted by a UFO and then running around all these different levels trying to find a way out (with resultant ensuing segueway adventures) only to eventually discover deep in the heart of the spacecraft who the pilots are- kind of human-looking monkeys, but more monkey than human.
They came in my dream to reveal their existence.. as if I would wake up and interpret the dream for the world saving revelation it actually is, and save the world.

Except what happened was I woke up, remembered the dream clear as a bell, and thought "shit, ay?"
Then I went to work, didn't save the world that day. Very frustrating though, feeling like a dream was trying to tell you something and simply having no idea what it could mean.

I had a dream that my band played a festival with Ian Brown, and we were awesome but he was shit.

Oh wait. That wasn't a dream, it was West Coast Blues and Roots.

I dreamt last night that I accidentally killed a stranger by dropping a load of washing on her head from a balcony. I knew the balcony to be at the place I stayed at in France but it looked different, more like a school I used to work at. I was running around, really upset, trying to tell people about what had happened, but noone would listen and noone cared.

a few nights ago i had a dream that i was being held hostage with a group of other people. none of the other people i knew but we were all being tortured for information none of us had. this continued for a few days in the dream and while one person was being hung on the wall and cut on to reveal info the rest of us planned our escape. managing to get hold of a knife one of the others stabbed our captor but to little or no effect. the knife was knocked from their hand and then i grabbed it. next thing our captor is wearing my leather jacket and turns out to be my ex-supervisor. so i stab him in the spine kind of reluctantly (he is a nice bloke, when he isnt torturing people obviously), and he just moves out the way and lets us out of the house. when we all get onto the balcony out the front military vehicles start arriving so we bail through some bushes and onto a road. just a little ways down the road a guy pops out with a gun so i hit the deck. turns out to be just a infra red beam gun because they are doing drills in urban areas. however from behind the guys who rocked up at the house are now firing real bullets at us. i bailed on my own avoiding as many bullets and people as possible. after 10 minutes of running over front yards back fences etc some people offer the 3 or 4 of us that met back up a place to hide. the others went inside and hid but i continued running. so i jump the back fence of the people who offered help and find im in fremantle and realise i can get home from here. i go running down a street which has a petrol station and a petrol tanker parked out front. as i get closer i see people standing around eating. not having eaten for a few days i thought bonus might get a feed. turns out it was a group of aboriginals waiting to mug the next person to come past. one of the older aboriginals tells me if i come with him and buy all his stuff which is stolen ipods and phones then i can leave. i tried to explain to him i didnt have any money because i was being held hostage and had no wallet etc. he didnt believe me so i got chased off down the street by a few of the younger ones and then i woke up.

someone please explain this to me.

Dear perthbands analysis team,

Last night I had a bunch of dreams which were unrelated but ran into each other quite smoothly. In the first, I was sleeping over at a friends house and she was being extraordinarily nice to me. (In reality, we had a fight about two months ago and haven't spoken since, so dream-jess was quite confused, but the girl didn't seem to think anything was wrong.) Suddenly she was having a party with like, 20 friends.

Her house became my nana's pad, which was conveniently one block away from the hydey. I walked there hoping to get there in time for the floors tonight, upon discovering it was 2am and the hydey looked supiciously like a three-story mojos. (...?)

I asked a friend who lives five minutes from me for a lift home, and she said no because she was too drunk to take anyone else in her car, then drove off. Feeling rejected, I started to walk back to nana's/ex-friend's house, getting hopelessly lost in the process.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

Clearly you are uncomfortable with your homosexuality.

[blackie]

last night i had a dream i was in the middle east at some kind of important festival where everyone takes drugs such as salvia and plays board games. kinda like a traditional bazaar was set up for the festivities complete with whirling dervishes and a bunch of other stuff.

 I wasn't allowed into some parts of the festival though where they have the traditional torture and *insert other rumours of bad things that happen in the middle east*. I remember some ayatollah type dude telling me "we won't have you westerners judging us on what is barbaric" or some such thing.. there was the same death and sex overtone as the other dream i had.

[Faye Tality]

Mine was ghey, I was eating snow with a spoon and there was shit all through it and I was having difficulty seperating the two, then it turned into a football game with a band im in and one of the multi-instumentalists made it on the eagles team (note i have never seen them run at all nor can imagine it) still played in snow then we had some giant rehearsal with the musical director calling me a failure and was ruining the band so i was all sad and left after that which was in the middle of Perth and I had to catch the train at night and some yobbos wouldnt leave me alone so the popo took me to the staiton

Man.

Tonight's dream had everything: attempted murder, intrigue, travel, corruption, mass exodus, hanging precariously from a great height, other people hanging precariously from a great height, and nuclear weapons.

For some reason I got forced to go to this abattoir where they insist on placing people at a great height (like, shit, 50 meters above the killing floor on rickety old scaffolding where you could easily fall to your death), and making them watch animals get slaughtered.

This was disturbing in itself, but shit got a lot more hairy once my objections cause the abattoir's powers-that-be (some kind of Jared-from-the-Labyrinth character, sans package) to lock the place down and set about trying to exterminate myself and my friends.

As if this wasn't bad enough, the abattoir was located on a mountain, in a remote part of southern Africa. So it was like trying to GTFO of some kind of greener version of Lesotho, with a fuckin' time limit and wankers on our tails. We managed eventually to use this to our advantage despite having to trick guards, hang off of fuckin' cliffs, and dodge corrupt Australian government officials trying to thwart our attempts at escape.

Eventually got out into the countryside and travelled through some of the most scenic shit ever, met some amazing locals, lush hilly territory. Got all the way to the Upper Nile, and safety, but then shit changed completely into a documentary style film which explained how the Brits came in, purportedly gave the sub-Saharan Africans a good business deal to help them out of poverty, then proceeded to conduct nuclear testing on the populace. Poor fuckers.

I'm pretty sure all this went for about three hours and it was great viewing. Although I was constantly concerned, I was never actually scared. I always win. We all got outta there with no casualties.

[Ben]

the hydey looked supiciously like a three-story mojos. (...?)

Oh man, the Hydey I always dream about is amazing.

It's about three times the size. There are a set of stairs in the pool table room that lead down to a huge basement where they have bands. I've never been down there, but it seems so awesome.

Also the entry to the pub is always up on that little-used door behind where the door person usually sits. It's enormous, and always packed with people I know.

I never venture far beyond these two locales, but it's better than the actual Hydey.

The Higgins always still own it, naturally.

[Faye Tality]

has anyone actually had a dream where they died? like not about to but actually died

I did once, it was a storm and there was the biggest, most angry black cloud you could imagine and when it thundered it was so loud it went black etc and stopped because i was yeah dead

not exactly thrilling but an unusual experience

[sour_candy]

I have dreamt three times now that I wake up before work and discover little black strings hanging out of my mouth. I pull on them and all of my teeth crumble and fall out in bloody pieces. I worry because I'm late.

 

[DizzyLang]

These two were night before last, don't know what they mean but I havn't dreamt in ages so twice in one night was awesome.

1. For some reason, I bought this little baggy of yellowish powder from someone. So I proceeded to my room and had a little sniffy, that little bit knocked me on my ass so I put the rest away and stumbled around smacking into shit for a while. Then a mate of mine walked into my room and said "dude, that is crack" so i was all "oh snap" and told him to get rid of it, but when I went to give him the baggy it was empty.

2. I just remember being at some train station south of the river which was weird enough because I never travel south. For some reason, I knew there was a bomb about to go off so I was rushing through this gargantuan bastard of a trainstation trying to GTFO. There was this odd little public toilet about 300m away just randomly placed on an oval, so the mfer blew up and I went "smeg this", flew away and that was pretty much it.

Does not compute.

from the interwebs..

"My Teeth Are Falling"

Dreams that your teeth are falling out are the most common dreams we here at Dream Moods receive. Common dream scenarios include having your teeth crumble in your hands, fall out one by one with just a light tap, grow crooked or rot. Such dreams are not only horrifying and shocking, but often leaves the dreamer with a lasting image of the dream. So what does it mean?

One theory is that dreams about your teeth reflect your anxiety about your appearance and how others perceive you. Sadly, we live in a world where good looks are valued highly and your teeth play an important role in conveying that image. Teeth are used in the game of flirtations, whether it be a dazzling and gleaming smile or affectionate necking. These dreams may stem from a fear of your sexual impotence or the consequences of getting old. Teeth are an important feature of our attractiveness and presentation to others. Everybody worries about how they appear to others. Caring about our appearance is natural and healthy.

Another rationalization for these falling teeth dream may be rooted in your fear of being embarrassed or making a fool of yourself in some specific situation. These dreams are an over-exaggeration of your worries and anxiety.�

Teeth are used to bite, tear, chew and gnaw. In this regard, teeth represent power. And the loss of teeth in your dream may be from a sense of powerlessness. Are you lacking power in some current situation? Perhaps you are having difficulties expressing yourself or getting your point across. You feel frustrated when your voice is not being heard. You may be experiencing feelings of inferiority and a lack of self-confidence in some situation or relationship in your life. This dream is an indication that you need to be more assertive and believe in the value of your own opinion.

In the latest research, it has been shown that women in menopause have frequent dreams about teeth. This may be related to getting older and/or feeling unattractive and less feminine.

Traditionally, it was thought that dreaming that you did not have teeth, represent malnutrition which may be applicable to some dreamers.

Other Perspectives

A scriptural interpretation for bad or falling teeth indicate that you are putting your faith, trust, and beliefs in what man thinks rather than in the word of God. The bible says that God speaks once, yea twice in a dream or a vision in order to hide pride from us, to keep us back from the pit, to open our ears (spiritually) and to instruct and correct us.

In the Greek culture, when you dream about loose, rotten, or missing teeth, it indicates that a family member or close friend is very sick or even near death.

According to the Chinese, there is a saying that your teeth will fall out if your are telling lies.

It has also been said that if you dream of your teeth falling out, then it symbolizes money. This is based on the old tooth fairy story. If you lose a tooth and leave it under the pillow, a tooth fairy would bring you money.

(Thank you to Brook who emailed us with the biblical significance of teeth dreams and to Eleni who shared the Greek perspective. Anna contributed her mother's story about teeth and money).

[sour_candy]

Sexually impotent? Lying? Ugly? Old? Menopausal??

I'll take the word of man over God and the money!

 

Interest re. the work element and feeling powerless. That's pretty spot on.

[Lickerr]

Interesting, a lot of people over the years have told me they have dreams about teeth.

Decaying, disappearing, falling, exploding, turning weird colours, made of string, having fingers instead of teeth, living teeth that complain about their job, telepathic teeth that reveal secrets to strangers, uberintelligent teeth that form cults and take over the world, teeth revolting against their owner, bone-crushing metal ones, bullet teeth, teeth made of fruit, etc etc.

[wezalicious]

I had a period of about 2 years where I was continually having dreams about my teeth becoming wriggly then falling out, they were always really vivid dreams and pretty fuckin scary. I haven't had one in a long time though.

[sour_candy]

Me too. Sometimes I half wake up and actually stick my fingers in my mouth to see if my teeth are loose...

[bird_of_paradox]

This thread must be catching. I had a weird-arse dream last night starring Chad Burger as my boss yelling at me for screwing up, Cadbury as a fluoro-clad skater, and Faye Tality as the ankle-high dancing milk carton in her avatar. (I've never met Faye but have seen the Blur video clip, so I guess that's where that comes from.) All in the Basement Cafe at Curtin uni. My dreams tend to be like that, when I remember them anyway... a random assortment of people I know (or don't) in a random place I've been (or haven't). Yeah, it all makes perfect nonsense...

[point]

I always have dreams about the last minutes before a neuclear bomb goes off in the city.

[Faye Tality]

haha fuck yeah Bird, that would have been awesome to see
and yeah its off the Blur song that I have no idea how it goes but who doesnt love Milky? Some people say we look similar though... actually no, i made that last bit up. I wish i was a happy carton of milk though

[Ben]

I always have dreams about the last minutes before a neuclear bomb goes off in the city.

It's pretty much one of the worst things that could happen innit?

I always escape before the city gets annihilated.

[point]

I run but i know deep down i'll never make it out of the blast zone in time.
