Rush Dream Corner!

Wild Rush dream last night (GG might not want to read this...):

 

I wake up and turn on the radio only to hear first thing that Neil Peart was killed in a motorcycle accident at the intersection of 25/Bypass in Georgetown, KY (where we used to live). I immediately think to hop on TRF but the site has crashed and it's nothing but weird blue graphics.

 

Somehow I end up hanging out with Geddy & Alex for 3-4 days talking about Neil and playing his various drum kits. We go back to east KY where I grew up and walk up past my old home and end up on a strip mine and throw rocks at some other dudes across a creek (well, Alex was throwing rocks at at them).

 

Next we are at a couple of redneck dive bars and on the way out we're wearing cowboy hats and everyone is thanking us for coming and is super friendly. The best part is that Geddy has one of those motorcycles with 2 wheels on the back, it's big and YELLOW; Ged drives and I'm sandwiched between he and Alex (that's not very gay). We end up at a house Ged has and sit around and talk about Neil, Alex has to leave for a bit and me & Ged talk about what he's going to do now since his creative juices are really flowing and I tell him that his solo album was great and he should do another one.

 

I then move on to another dream. fing.gif

I dreamt last night that I was doing some kind of work for the tour... local stuff, I think. Before the show, I was backstage long enough to say "Good morning" (?) to Alex and was rewarded with one of those megawatt smiles. They were playing Time Stand Still when I woke up.

I don't recall when I had this dream, but it was several nights ago and the most humorous one I've had so far. The most I can remember is Rush playing a gig, probably on the Time Machine Tour, with a surprise from Alex. He walks onstage in platform shoes, like the ones he, Geddy and Neil wore in the 70s. These ones are silver and have three-inch heels. Loud laughter rises from the audience when they spot Alex's shoes. I believe that this is the point where I woke up. huh.gif

 

Honestly, I have no idea what inspired that, but it was interesting. laugh.gif

(Oracle takes a breath trying to recuperate from the reading of every dream, since her absence.)

 

Ged.....I have missed a crap load.

 

 

So, what better way to end my hiatus by posting a dream again!?

 

 

So, I had this dream that my school was doing auditions for the 2112 Musical they were embarking on. And I remember seeing all my classmates doing their auditions. They all were really good, as far as I knew. And, then the next moment, I hear my teacher yell my name to say it was my turn. I remember going, "what?"

My friend helped me up to the stage and I got up there slowly and did my monologue, which I did the opening lines from the liner notes of 2112 where it says something about the moons being two pale orbs tracing their way across the steely sky. And then my teacher asked, "what musical part are you doing?" I really didn't know what I was going to do for that, so, I said, "Soliloquy". And the song started.

As I ended on a high note, I heard my teacher applaud me and said, "very nice job, Courtney!"

I thanked him and went backstage to get my stuff and walk out to the lobby area of my school's theatre. So, as I was walking out, I turned my head and saw Geddy, Alex, and Neil. And they nodded their heads at me, and Geddy had a smile on his face. I was shocked that I didn't see them before.

So, we waited for about an hour outside in the lobby for all the auditions to be done and for them to cast the musical.

Geddy then came to get us, saying, "all right, everyone, follow back inside."

We all got up and went back in and sat in the first 4 rows.

About ten minutes in, they already announced all the other roles, besides the protagonist, and they hadn't said my name. So I thought, "oh, well, at least I tried."

Then, Geddy said, "and the Protagonist will be played by....Courtney Schnuelle."

I was shocked, and my jaw dropped. Geddy then called me up to the stage to perform 2112 with them. I was just, so surprised.

The moment we were getting into Discovery, I awoke.

 

 

I remember screaming when I woke up...XD

Ah.... nice one Oracle cool.gif

 

 

I had a dream this morning but, dammit, all I can remember now is that it was a lot like the one I posted above ^ except I was actually touring with them. This is one dream I'd love to be a premonition wink.gif

Believe it or not, my Neil nymph side manifested itself in my latest dream. What I remember is playing the drums for "Free Will" on Neil's amazing 360-degree drum kit. It might have been the Time Machine tour one. 1022.gif

I dream of playing that kit when I'm wide awake! biggrin.gif

 

I had another dream that I was working on the tour. All I can really remember about it is the big smiles from da Boyz wub.gif

So! After a long...LONG...time without a Rush dream, I finally had one! Or, a Geddy dream, I should say. I was in a quaint part of Toronto where I happened to notice that some big event was being staged. Imagine my surprise when I noticed Geddy Lee dressed in some kind of superhero costume (which, of course, he looked amazingly hot in)! Turns out he was going to use some breakthrough technology to fly up and light the Olympic torch in the opening ceremonies! Sadly, I didn't get to interact with him; it was more like I was just watching all this.

 

The dream then turned to my going inside this apartment where my co-workers were cleaning stuff out that the tenants had left behind. There was a bunch of Rush stuff like stickers and posters, which I got to keep. Sweet, huh? 2.gif

Ugh! The last few Rush dreams I've had have been horrible! The first night I had one that Geddy Lee had died. Yeah...I was so glad that wasn't true! What a relief to wake up! But not for long, because the next night I dreamt that Neil was terminally ill and not expected to survive. I feared that Alex would be next, but so far, none about him. So so sad - I don't want to have Rush dreams like this! I have to hope it shows I'm concerned for them...I'm not really worried about them, but maybe I just want them to be all right.

Yes, these are anxiety dreams. I bet you have them about other people you care about. It's normal. Scary, but normal. eh.gif

This one isn't about the band members, but their work was in the dream. Another bad one...my boyfriend and I were at an outdoor event like a RushCon, yet I didn't know any of the Rush fans there. Weird. My boyfriend and I are having a doozy of a disagreement (I don't know about what), and I finally sked him, "Are you breaking up with me"? He said yes. I was so upset that I left and went into a restaurant in the nearby town to drown my sorrows in food. I'd just sat down at a table by myself when The Big Money came over the speakers. Already self-conscious that people were looking at me because I was alone, I could no longer stand it when I started to hear the patrons talk about how much they hated the song (poor Rush sad.gif ), and I left and went back to the convention site. I think my boyfriend was gone, and since I didn't really know anyone there, I didn't really have anyone to talk to, so I packed up my things and left again. I stopped at a car dealership/garage on my way out of town and was talking to the people there about cars (no, not Red Barchettas), and it got awkward when I realized they knew my (now ex-) boyfriend. The dream pretty much ended there...

i'll never forget this dream , even tho it was in 1977 and i was 13.

i was walking thru an elementary schoool in my neighborhood (my brothers school) and i found a joint on the ground and i smoked it. then a limo pulled up and alex jumped out- he called to me and said "C'mon! we have to find Geddy!" insted of jumping in the car we started running thru the streets calling Geddy! We finally got to a store that was called "neil peart's chicken shop." i thought what? A chicken shop? We went in and neil was at the counter cutting up raw whole chickens. I said what are you doing here with this chicken shop? Neil told me , "this isnt real , you smoked that joint didnt you? "I said yes, guiltily"well it was made with rice paper and now you are hallucinating!" but i still wanted to find Geddy, so i ended up back at the school and he was sitting there on the sandbox, i came up to him and said "we've been looking for you" He reached out his hand to me , i reached back and he dissapeared. Then i woke up! 2.gif wub.gif

Hello, NWW! Newbie's back wink.gif

Wow, my first "Rush" dream last night... very strange... I went to my first Rush concert (nope, never been to one yet, believe it or not!) in -- of all places --Wisconsin (I don't live anywhere near Wisconsin, FTR). I was afraid I'd have to take an airplane or at least a train to the concert venue from my hotel, but oddly enough, it was a short walk away from where I was staying, and I got there early enough to get a great seat & watch the sound-check. (Hey, it's a dream, what can I tell ya) Then all of a sudden Alex is coming over into the audience, wearing a long brown-haired wig that made him look like Janis Joplin (?) I cheered him on and called his name, and he came over, grabbed my hand, and said, "Welcome to your first Rush concert! So glad you could make it!" And I remember thinking, "Wow, I'm having the best time of my life... why'd it take me so long to see these guys live?" Then Alex & the rest of the band took the stage & launched into "Tom Sawyer"

Mind you, I was by myself because (and this is true in real life) I have no friends who are into Rush (including my husband, in fact he doesn't even know how much I love them or he'd make fun of me mercilessly)... so I guess I'm sorta surprised that I even dreamed about them to begin with.

Weird, huh? biggrin.gif

Ok, after a looong dry spell I finally had another one last night.

 

I was a a Rush gig, right at the front. Geddy had come on stage and was waiting for the others so he launches into a rocking solo on his bass. Then Geddy has to go find Alex and Neil who've disappeared so he leaves the stage. I started to get a bit worried about where they'd gone so I set off into the town to find them. I did find them but Geddy gets upset with me saying that I'm stalking them! I told him "Actually I went looking for you because we were worried you'd got lost." he backs down a bit, then I woke up.

I dreamt the other night that I took my oldest son to a recording studio and was waiting in my minivan in the parking lot for him to finish whatever and come out. While I'm waiting, another vehicle pulls up, and who should get out and walk into the studio but Alex Lifeson. After several more minutes my son comes out and tells me how he got to meet Alex and he was really nice. Then we leave.

 

What the heck kind of crap dream is that? confused13.gif

 

I spend enough of my life schlepping and waiting for kids as it is, do I have to dream about it too?

laugh.gif Don't you hate it when real life gets in the way of dreams?

 

 

 

I've been meaning to jot this down here: recently, I had this dream about Geddy. Rush was performing a concert, and Geddy was showing off some new move while he was playing bass. If anyone is familiar with the '90s Super Nintendo game 'Street Fighter', Geddy was whipping his leg around like Chun-Li's Lightning Kick. He'd start kicking his leg into a frenzy, until it was a blur of kicks on the stage. It was cool, but in the dream I wondered why he would copy someone else's technique! tongue.gif

I've been dreaming a lot about Rush lately probably since the tour is kicking off soon. Most of my dreams involve me being at a concert with something strange going on; the latest one involved me getting on stage to play Rock Band drums alongside the band (I've been playing a lot of Rock Band lately tongue.gif) and I remember frantically looking around to spot my boyfriend in the crowd, and I could never find him. Also, the Rush concerts in my dreams always seem to take place in a high school auditorium-like setting, and the music being played isn't Rush music, but it always sounds correct in my dreams, if that makes any sense.

I have a Rush dream from the other night to share.

 

In this dream, I was at a house in the woods, it looked like the mountains in Georgia in the fall. Alex was over to eat dinner, there was another girl also. She and Alex were in the kitchen. Get this- instead of staying to help cook, I went horseback riding all by myself ohmy.gif. Yeah.... I just left Alex and the other girl back at the house. angry.gif while I rode all alone through the forest. When the ride was over, instead of going inside, I stayed out side and..... hosed mud off rubber boots sad.gif angry.gif . When I finally went inside, it was clear that Alex had been having a great time. It was too late for me though. Alex was already leaving and did not even want a photo taken. Then, I started acting like a weird fan, clamoring for a photo and trying to talk to him but saying stupid things, then he just sort of vanished. sad.gif

Oh hello all. Long time lurker, first time poster, etc. etc. etc. I thought I'd share a dream I had a couple nights ago. I dreamt I was the tour manager (or publicist, something like that) for Rush, back in the 80s, c. Permanent Waves, and there was a booking fiasco that resulted in the band and crew having to crash at some random house for a night. Well, there was only one couch available, and the band, being the gentlemen they are, offered it to me. So, I go to sleep, unknowing that throughout the course of my career with the band, Alex Lifeson had fallen desperately in love with me. I woke up (in the dream) to find Lerxst had fallen asleep on the ground next to me, his head in my lap, his hand holding mine. Suffice to say that there were swoons galore.

 

And then I woke up from the dream. fists%20crying.gif

Hahaha! I knew it wouldn't take long for me to dream about them because I can't get them out of my mind!

 

However, it was a most disappointing dream.

 

Can't remember all the details, but we were all staying in a hotel together. Some of us were down in a big room - for what I don't remember. All of a sudden, the side door opened and in walked Geddy and Alex. They sat down at a long table. I walked over to someone and said "That's Geddy Lee."

 

The next thing I knew, Geddy was getting up and he said something that I remembered when I woke up after the dream in the middle of the night but cannot recall now, and then he and Alex walked out. But I do remember thinking "What an arrogant man!"

 

I don't know where my subconscious got that impression about him as I don't think that about him. I think it could be from the fact that whenever I have seen him interact with a group of people, he seems to always have his arms folded across his chest.

 

I'll try to do better with my Rush dreams in the future! ;)
