All you folks who have written about being in plays and musicals must have sunk into my subconscious.

I dreamed that I was in a play. I was playing the part of a woman who had made a bad choice in life and was getting her just punishment. But, while on stage during the performance, I forgot ALL my lines. I started re-creating the character and making her take hold of her situation and make the best out of it. I was making commentaries on how society should give people a hand up instead of treading all over them. Somehow, the other actors caught on to what I was doing and played along. We made the story up as we went along. ‘Twas really grand.

Interesting. I had a dream where I was in a play once. Eh, I might as well share it with you folks while we’re on the subject.

It was a regular kind of day in the dream. I was in The Back Seat Of My Car being driven to some sort of event. We arrived, and the said event turned out to be a play starring Robert Plant. I was only supposed to be in the audience, but I asked a staff member person if I could be an extra, to which she said yes. So, there I was standing around in a pink nurse outfit playing my part. I also seem to recall that the Led Zeppelin song For Your Life was part of the soundtrack.

The play was put on in 3 parts; each on a different night, so I relived the driving-to-the-event part a few times.

T’was very “interesting” to experience, for a lack of a better word. The play itself featured heavy drug use; and what I called Robert when conversing with him might just be better off either in the Fifty Shades thread or not said in the first place… 

Sorry in advance for the double post, but just last night I had an interesting dream….

Well, it was more of a nightmare, but anyways it all began when I was in my kitchen late at night doing kitcheny things. Suddenly, I heard a song on the radio that for some reason was in the living room by the window (it’s usually in the dining room). I walked over and crouched down to listen to it, and it was apparently a Pink Floyd song (and also apparently from The Wall) that sounded similarly to both Us and Them and Brain Damage. 

I started listening to the lyrics, and the song turned out to be about a serial killer. Just then, I noticed a man outside holding a large knife. I was terrified, so I ran to my family and told them about the man. I then walked upstairs to hide, and as I did this I said to my mum something along the lines of “Pink Floyd is not very good to listen to when you’re scared.” And I could’ve sworn that as I said that I caught a glimpse of the man behind her…. 

After the nightmare ended I woke up at 3 in the morning trying to calm myself down by thinking of different happy/catchy/upbeat songs that I liked (Nobody’s Fault But Mine by Led Zep came to mind and worked for a little bit, but not really). Let me tell you, Maxwell’s Silver Hammer may seem like a happier tune but after you’ve almost got slice sliced by a silver steak knife it’s not so enjoyable. 

And of course (and as always), the only redeeming part of the ordeal was having a great tune already written out for you with lyrics and everything and I forgot how it went when I woke up. 

Anyways, @Beatlebug and/or any of the other FloydFanatics hanging ’round the forum, do you know of any PF song similar in theme/etc to the one from my Floyd-mare?  Much thanks for any help.

How ironic you should say that, as those are both The Dark Side Of The Moon songs. 

Yes, I was thinking that as well. Weird.  

Anyways, Silly Floyd Girl Pinkerton and/or any of the other FloydFanatics like pepperland hanging ’round the forum, do you know of any PF song similar in theme/etc to the one from my Floyd-mare?  Much thanks for any help. 

Hmmm… none come to mind off the top of my head. I did think ‘Careful With That Axe, Eugene‘ (a friend of Maxwell’s?) but the storyline of that particular tune is extremely vague, seeing as the entire lyrical content consists of Roger Waters whispering the title once– the rest is left entirely to the imagination (aided by Roger Waters screaming like a strangled puma). 

Sounds like the kind of song I’d write.

Nope, that’s it. Sorry I couldn’t be of more help. I can, however, give you a list of dream references, which are plentiful.  

That’s okay! I think I might be good on the dream references right now. Thanks, @Beatlebug !

‘One of My Turns’ maybe?

In the suitcase on the left, you’ll find my favourite axe … Would you like to call the cops? Do you think it’s time I stopped? Why are you running away?

It’s on ‘The Wall’ too.

Very interesting. Thanks, @pepperland !! 

Still not sure how the heck half the influence would have come from, though, as I’ve not heard much of The Wall or really any of the other PF albums as of yet. Huh. I guess I’ll just leave it as a mystery for now. But that’s ok!
