lowdown Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 A keyboard player friend of mine has an interesting Facebook subject going on at the moment, about being booked on a session/ gig on an Instrument that you CAN'T play. The thing is, it's only a dream. I have had this from time to time, being booked on Trumpet (which I can not play at all). Standing there in a full section (both Jazz & Orchestral). just making horrible noises, and not one person saying a thing. I am not sure what this is all about, anyone else had these dreams?

AntLockyer Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Sort of, however I can always play the instruments. I also have similar ones about skateboarding where I am really really great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprocketflup Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 I have a similar thing but its in the lucid world not the dream one, where I come off stage thinking I played really well, and then a few days later I see a vid of the gig and the horrible truth hits me.......

discreet Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Once dreamt that I came on stage riding an elephant and playing the flute in front of a huge audience. I can't play the flute and as far as I know I can't ride an elephant, either (unless you count the current mrs discreet). No doubt Freud would say it's due to some deep-seated childhood trauma, and he's probably right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megallica Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 What if it was a Justice song, no-one would know what the bass part sounds like anyway I've had a similar dream where I'm mid gig and the strings on my bass have no tension and the neck of the bass comes loose.
