I have these type dreams also. Sometimes it is not about gigging but something else that had a huge impact on my life like teaching. Sometimes I show up at school and can never find the right room etc.

Norm, dreaming about playing a Hammond with a rotting cabinet strikes me as the same kind of dream where you arrive at work, and realize that you forgot your pants..
 
OK weird music related dreams.. I have two recurring dreams:
 
1. Where I am performing Santana, Gregg Rollie is sick and I'm playing every song note perfect, and even the songs I don't know seem to flow perfectly from my fingers..
 
2. Where I am performing with some jazz guys who keep calling out chords that I don't know, and I feel like an idiot...
 
Somehow I don't think that there's a lot of abstract thought required to interpret these dreams.   
 
Regards,
Craig MacDonald

This is a just a personal thing but wanted to see if I was the only one!!

I have these reoccurring bad dreams about different situations where i am at a gig or getting ready for a gig & everything goes totally wrong. 
Usually I am on the road...Stuff from years ago..

The usual scenario is where I am late to set up & had expected someone to set up my gear...
It is minutes before starting time...I have waited 15 minutes to get something to drink...after not knowing where my stage clothes are..

I get to the stage & my rig is either all wrong or i have forgotten the most important parts of my rig..Still in the truck!!

The dream last night was this Hammond organ with a rotting cabinet!...
It is time to start...I had to turn this organ around to play it..All other keyboards are out of reach...
The keys are these little silver things that i totally don't understand...
I am trying to play some intense Kansas song or something...

Another scenario is a band house where the van is getting ready to leave & I have tons of stuff in my room....
I cannot get it organized...I am in fear of the van & truck leaving without me...
Plus I am being scolded by fellow band members for my total lack of organization!!!! Whew!!

This is totally not how I have been during my music career....but this is the DARK SIDE !!

Oh Yeah...I used to bartend for years & have dreams of totally dysfunctional situations where i trying to do my job but everything is totally wrong..

Do I need an analyst or is this something that others experience..

Sorry for the OT but I had to share...

You should have seen this decrepit rotting Hammond with the skinny silver keys!! LOL.. I forced myself to wake up !!

Maybe less sugar before bedtime!~!Norm Peterson
