Nothing As It Seems
I had one of the most realistic dreams of my life last night. I dreamed that I hung out with Eddie Vedder.
I was sitting at a small bar. At the end of the bar was a little stage and some guys were setting up equipment, but they couldn't get the sound system to work. Having watched Rent a billion times and observing Mark Cohen, I was able to get it working.
So, the tech guys asked me to hang out with them. Well, Pearl Jam comes out on stage and does a "surprise" show. It was a warmup to their upcoming tour this summer.
After the show, Eddie started talking to me. He made a joke about Mike McCready's penchant for wearing dresses, so I told him that I wrote for a GLBT magazine.
We ended up hanging out all night long - talking about how much we hated Bush and the religious right and how he wrote a couple of songs about being an outsider. I thanked him for writing Rival (according to PJ, it's about growing up gay in Littleton, CO). I also told him that on MySpace I wrote his name next to "Person I'd like to meet." He thought I was lying so we went online and I showed him. He laughed and thanked me. Then he said I had to put someone else up there. I gave him my phone number so that the next time they were in town we could hang.
Well, my cell phone rang (the next day? the next year? i don't know--it was a dream). It was Eddie. He and his wife and kid were in town and wanted to hang. So we did. And talked and talked and talked.
It was really cool. I know whoever reads this is thinking, "Umm. Freak!" But whatever. It was neat. I felt like I was there. And don't worry. I don't have issues of Teen Beat with him on the cover plastered all over my bedroom walls.... they're on my ceiling.
Anybody else have those types of realistic dreams?

.....mmmm....I'm guessin we all have had such dreams that we awake and are amazed it was so real. I know I have...
Truth - or at least 'they say' it is - is that dreams like this are often about ourselves and viewing different aspects of things around us. That - or eating too much before sleepy time....hehe! (btw - keep eating more...)
Eddie is Ted. Ted is Eddie. hmmmm...the mind does wander into some interesting places...

On the most basic level seeing famous people in your dreams, signifies an increase to your prosperity and honor.
I don't know what it means when you're fixing their stage equipment and hanging out with their families. I think there's a Lifetime Movie about that somewhere. In it Tori Spelling ends up hanging out with Tommy Lee and a video gets made or something. : )

Wow, that is really cool! I LOVE vivid, long-lasting dreams like that (except when being chased by someone or something or somethings or a combination of the three).
Perhaps the dream means you are content and happy because after all, you were able to kind of virtually fulfill a huge dream of yours. It's hard to have vivid, long-lasting dreams when you are not all frazzled and distracted from other things in your life.
Take me for instance. I was just thinking about it and I dream a lot. However, I just thought about it and I can't even recall having them lately. That's kind of strange but I guess if my theory is true, makes sense.
