Well, I had a doozy! 

I play guitar & bass, and one of the songs I often play is "Red" by King Crimson.  It is much fun!

Last night, I dreamt that I played it on bass before RF, Wetton, and Bruford!  They were very appreciative!  

I also asked Bob what the meaning of "Sunday All Over the World" was, and he was his typically vague self. 

RIP John Wetton, it was nice to dream about him.  I saw this band in concert on April 10, 1973 in Chicago.

Welcome to PA! 

I have the opposite problem - I dream in full color, elaborate dreams with plots/sub-plots, many characters etc.

Some I can trace to recent events, others are out of the blue.  I talk to my friends about them, they are a source of hilarity!

I once dreamt that I met up with Robert Wyatt at a pub, and over an ale we had a laid back conversation about Marxism and related things.  My dreams tend not to be of the more traditionally exciting ilk.

Thanks!  Who knows where dreams come from?  I've seen Kansas live twice....first time, they took the place of Queen to back up Mott the Hoople.  They were very energetic, this was the time of their first LP.  Second time, I wasn't as interested in them.  

I dream a LOT about King Crimson and Fripp....probably because I watch so many videos of them, read about them etc.  

In any event, sweet dreams!!

I've been having odd dreams about Bob Fripp lately....last one, I needed to drive Bob and Toyah from downtown Chicago to O'Hare Airport.  However, I forgot the route to drive there, so we started walking, dragging our luggage and Bob's gear with us.  

I wish there was a way to record dreams!!

Hi,

I have several, but I am not comfortable sharing them yet. I have written them all down, and if I get this done right, it will make a book of some sort. I even remember some conversations, although in most cases it seems like the situations play out by themselves.  

Don't think I ever said anything silly, although (not in a dream, but in Eugene OR), during warm up Mike was trying out the fixes on his bass (the most beat up thing I ever have seen!), and 5 minutes later he asked ... is it too bass'y? ... and I said what would rock'n'roll be without the bass'y? Kind of a silly remark from me, but it wasn't too bass'y and he stayed with those levels and EQ. This was the tour that had Pierre in it, and the bass'y "style" for GONG fit better, and it made the band sound "heavier" instead of it crisp and with a jazz'y tone (Pip) or the tripping feel (the Soul2Soul drummer) in the three times I saw them!

For the book, Daevid Allen has a lot of moments. Not to mention that I really enjoyed yapping along with him, and he was a joy to spend time with. Gilly was also fantastic.

I'm one of those people who has had probably 50 or more dreams with prog rock members involved.  Mostly Keith Emerson because of my early interest in keyboards, but also members of Genesis, Yes and Peter Hammill, Christian Vander and probably others.  Funnily enough I've had dreams with Mick Jagger and David Bowie even though I've never bought any of their albums and not a big Bowie fan.   They were nice friendly people in the dream and we got along well.  I became a big fan of Stereolab around 1998 and had dreams with them as well as Belle and Sebastian who I also got into around the same time.

i had another one last night.

Marillion had put out a new single called “Tel Aviv” and it sounded… well… just like any modern Marillion song.

Many years ago I dreamed I was at a record store checking out some CDs with the guys from Sigur Rós. We were pals, apparently. Nice blokes.

It was a lovely little dream and I wanted to share!  



I just had dream where an album I ranked very highly with only a few reviews to its name was trashed with a 2 and 1 star reviews shortly after my post. I just had this dream either last night or the night before.

I had a dream that Deerhoof released a third album in 2020, I even drew the cover:
There was a concert to promote it, although all I can remember was that most of it comprised of songs from La Isla Bonita

I had an excellent Rick Wakeman dream last night!!  He was giving a lecture of some sort to a smallish group of folks, and he teamed up with famed magician David Copperfield so that he began his lecture by rising up out of the floor!!  It was great!   He was in cape & everthing!  

My prog dreams are definitely related to how much time I spend on this site!!  Happy 2021 to all!!

I screwed that up! So I announced “That’s all I got, unless John wants to play something.” I looked over and it wasn’t John Lord at the keys it was someone I’ve never seen before. Then it dawned on me it’s not John Lord because he’s dead! This is getting worse and worse! Maybe I’ll be really lucky and this guy’s name happens to be John too. It was, but he didn’t know how to play keyboards so he just looked confused. Then I mercifully woke up.

THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!!  Great addition!!  

Your dream is very similar to the real-life experience of Mike Pinder with Moody Blues:

In an interview on the DVD The Moody Blues John identifies the Filmore
East as the venue where all the tapes fell out of the mellotron during a
show, and the audience watched Bugs Bunny cartoons while Mike Pinder
re-assembled it.  There were back-to-back shows at the Filmore on October
25 & 26 in 1968, which was the MK II Modies first US tour. I have found no
clarification as to which night it was of the two. As to how long it took
him to repair it, I have no clue, but if it was multiple Bugs Bunny
cartoons, 20 minutes sounds about right.

Last night, I dreamt that I was talking to the remains of Yes and imploring Howe to re-record "The Ancient" from TFTO in order to include percussion parts played by a huge collection of Yes fans. 

Needless to say, Howe was dubious.  

I actually participated in this type of performance once, when the Tulsa Artist Coalition gave their annual New Music concert....they passed out sets of wooden laundry clips to the audience, and we clicked them together to emulate the sound of crickets.  It was good fun!  

Imagine "The Ancient" with hundreds, nay, thousands more percussion parts!!  MORE COWBELL!

I had a prog wet dream once. It has to do with ejaculating in bizarre time signatures.
