Dreamscape Link-o-rama

Here is a dream I had last night. Actually I had it in the morning. But it was a dream nonetheless.

At the end of my street there is a small hill. But instead of continuing into another street, there was a vast field. At the end closest to me was a stage. There was a large crowd in front of the stage, but because I was on the hill I was on a level with the stage, and also right next to it. There was a railing which, if I had ducked under I would have been on stage.

The White Stripes are playing. And Jenny and I are enjoying the concert. Then Jack and Meg announce that they'll be back in half an hour, so Jenny and I run home for some water. Jenny gets there way before me, and when I get there she tells me that she has to go to Fort Erie because her cat (which doesn't exist, by the way) has died. So she leaves and I drive back to the concert. I have trouble finding a spot to park because the lot is on a steep hill and my perspective is skewed.

The stage has shifted to the other end of the field and there is a long line-up to get to the front. At the back of the line there are a few little kids dressed up as the Stripes playing guitar.

Then I hear it. Thinking to myself.... "That sure isn't a White Stripes song. That sure isn't Jack or Meg singing. That sounds like... no, it couldn't be!"

But it was. Tori Amos had joined the White Stripes onstage and they were playing "Mother." But the thing was, that Tori was playing this, Jack was playing this, and Meg was playing these. After they finished the song they sat down with the crowd in a large circle to have a discussion. About what, I don't remember, but Shannon Hengen was there. After the discussion, I started taking pictures with a disposable camera, when Jack announced that they were going to start playing some new songs, so the crowd rushed the stage. I was at the very front, elbows on the stage. I could feel someone trying to get their shoulder in front of me to eventually displace me and take my spot at the front. I shoved backwards and they stopped.

Just then a security guard saw my camera and tried to confiscate it. I told him that instead of taking it I would just shoot the rest of the pictures under the stage and waste the film. So I pretended to do that, but he still took the camera away.

But I didn't care too much because Jack and Meg came back on stage just then. Jack said "Ok, my sister and I would like to play our new song for you. It's called 'Top Special'."

And then I woke up.
