Its night time and I find myself at a stadium where a large rock concert is taking place, the heavy metal band Metallica are playing up on stage (very strange as I’ve never listened to this bands music, its not the kind of music I listen to in waking life).I start to pick up on some kind of drama that has taken place within the band, apparently the lead singer guitarist (the one with the moustache and the only one I recall from this band) has left the band quite some time ago.
I see him down in the audience close to the stage watching his old band perform it looks like his old band mates have invited him to watch them perform. I see that he has put on lots of weight and looks very much out of shape, from the expression on his face I can see that he is seething inside with rage at the situation.
One of the other band members has come to the fore to take the old guitarists role he looks very young and has a very feint fluffy moustache the kind a teen age boy might try and grow. This young man also has a very un-heavy metal haircut of a cropped bowl haircut style.
A fact which seems to add insult to injury for the old lead singer is that this new front man is using his old guitar, the young man is something of a prodigy with the instrument and manages to play unbelievable fast and beautiful music, this isn’t heavy metal but is classical guitar.
The man plays chords and notes incredibly fast the music sounds like a mix of flamenco and harpsichord. As the music becomes quicker and more technical a black screen fades into my point of view and shows some music bars with notes.
The black screen with white text is very reminiscent of an educational television programme that used to be aired in the U.K. called the Open University. As the man plays white writing appears on the screen indicating the notes the man is playing and other technical information, words such as ‘Hammering’ and ‘Staccato’ are shown with lots of other Latin text (the Latin element seemed very important).
After playing for a while the band invite their old front man up onto the stage which brings a huge cheer from the audience, the old lead singer is still furious but accepting of their offer. The previous front man carries a large box of cigarettes up onto the stage tucked under his arm, they are the kind that are available at the Duty Free at airports.
The man throws the large pack of cigarettes at the new lead guitarist in exchange for the return of his old guitar, he is still raging but seems to be bursting with motivation to show his stuff. He slings his guitar strap over his shoulder and gets himself ready to lead the band once more.
After the concert I see the new young lead singer stood alone, I pick up on the fact that this genius has both a good and a bad side to his character.
Additional Comments:
Interpretation: As I know very little about this band I’d say that it must be symbolic possibly saying something about doing things in a less a heavy handed way and to perhaps try and adopt a more classical, lighter or youthful approach to my way of doing things. The Latin symbolism seemed to be very important and upon waking reflection so did the two front men’s moustaches.Dream 1: Try my black Ferrari – It’s daytime and I find myself on a very large paved driveway lined with tall palm trees in front of a very grand white mansion the type with large pillars either side of the front door apparently this incredible home is mine. I’m casually preoccupied carrying something I’ve bought from inside a vehicle into the house, I feel very new inside and on top of the world. My brother- in-law turns up with my sister and his children he looks a little worn and downtrodden I decide to take him out for a drive in one of my many cars parked out on the huge semicircular driveway, I choose a black Ferrari which I saw he had his eye on when he turned up knowing that he’d really appreciate going out for a spin in it.
Dream 2: Expensive hair products are fine by me – I am driving a car towards some parking spaces sheltered by what looks like a flyover supported by concrete pillars. Trying to park is very fiddly the spaces are all arranged in diagonal but many of the people parked here have ignored this layout and have parked vertically instead. Just as I’m about to pull into a space somebody swings their car into the opening and takes my spot I have to circle around the car park to look for another space which I eventually find. After I’ve parked I get out and remove a female shop mannequin from the boot which I have all wrapped up in a blanket, I discard this item in a fenced off hedge at the rear of the parking where it becomes tangled up in some barbed wire. Just then I see my Nan with another woman who is unfamiliar to me they both seem happy and look at me with smiles as if to send me positive thoughts possibly in relation to my discarding of the female dummy, my Nan looks cold though and wraps her arms around herself shivering she looks as though she could do with a coat. On the second tier of a shopping mall linked to the parking I meet a female work colleague who is accompanied by another female (this couple seemed to echo the partnership of my Nan and her friend too), in this dream the colleague doesn’t look anything like she does in reality but I know it is her, she also happens to be my dream wife too. My demeanor around these two women is extremely mellow and laid back, my dream wife says she is going over to a hairdresser where she is going to spend £160 on some very expensive hair products, she says this in such a way as if asking my permission or approval. I tell her “Sure, no problem”. I know that my artistic aunt has an art shop in this mall somewhere that I would like to take the two ladies too but I have my doubts as to whether they would be interested in going to have a visit. The floor of this upper level of the mall is flooded with about an inch or two of water. It’s not really a problem more of a nuisance the water is flowing towards an elevator where I see it gushing down through the gaps in the lift door down to the ground floor below.
Dream 4: More toilet relief – I find myself in a very large house with many rooms the interior décor is all white and is very classical and feminine in style. I am bursting to go to the toilet but I can’t find the lady who owns this house in order to ask her where and if I can use her lavatory. All of the doors to the rooms in the house are pulled to and shut but the keys to the doors have all been conveniently left in their locks, I rush from door to door entering the rooms in my search for the bathroom. I eventually find the rest room which looks a little untidy with make-ups strewn all over the place, its not really a mess just that the lady who owns this house never seems to put anything away. I dash over to the toilet and have a wee, the relief is immense but as I’m using the toilet a face powder make-up drops off a shelf or the cistern down into the toilet bowl. There’s not much I can do now but to just flush it down the toilet after I’ve finished.
