Bucktunes Posted December 8, 2001 Share Posted December 8, 2001 The thread about stage fright got me thinking about this. I don't have a problem with stage fright, but I guess I must have some subconcious performance anxiety. I'd like to have a dollar for every time I've dreamt that I'm looking at my watch and realize it's time to play, but; 1. I'm naked, in my underwear, or otherwise not dressed for the gig. 2. I'm on the other side of town, or in another state. 3. I'm backstage and ready to go, but my rig is nowhere near set up, or pieces are missing. Anyone else have other musical dreams, maybe more pleasant ones? Any psychologists out there that can explain them? Peace all, Steve ><> Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magpel Posted December 8, 2001 Share Posted December 8, 2001 Just last night, I dreamed I was at some party where a world beat-ish acoustic band was playing (members of which included several prominent musicians in my area). They were acting quite pompous as they performed, but I must admit they were pretty hot. Then the piano player showed me what he was playing. He had a heavy pad, kind of the thickness of a gym mat but a little more gelatinous in texture, laid over the keyboard of an upright piano. At the back of the pad, numerous transparent tubes about 1/2" in diameter rose up and were draped over the top of the upright. As you slid your hand across this pad, fluid rushed up the tubes--sometimes blue fluid, sometimes green. With this pad, you were able to get protamento on the piano and all manner of other strange effects, including one where the sound went down as you played up. It was all so much cooler and weirder than I can articulate. I took a turn at it and played some bizarre and beautiful piano. BTW, I don't have musician anxiety dreams, but on occasion I stil have teacher anxiety dreams, and I haven't taught a class in over five years.

Slowly Posted December 9, 2001 Share Posted December 9, 2001 I was gonna tell you about my dream, but seems like every dream I tell someone about doesn`t come true. So I do tell people about the bad dreams that I don`t want to come true. But in the dream I started to tell you about everything comes out perfect. I hope that dream comes true. "Let It Be!"
