Conference rdvax::grateful

That's great (no GRATE!) JC!!  I'll tell you what I told Dave last week
after he described a dream he had of a show where Jerry asked him to get
on stage and sing (basically) ...

	"Boy, you need a show .... BAD!"  :-)

Lisa

re .0  Great dream ... I'm not sure I've ever had a dream where I was listening
to a particular song ....

Geez, all I dreamt last night was that some guy in my group was a rodeo star.

- Dave

    
    I dream about the Dead all the time... so does Dave and the kids.
    
    One dream I had after Brent died.  I was in a huge auditorium ... all
    alone.  Gradually I noticed that there was one other person .. it was
    Brent.  He was on stage playing .... "Dear Mr. Fantasy" ..
    
    I remember walking up to the stage and watching him .. I was crying..
    He smiled at me ..

	I dream about the Dead alot too.  it wasn't last night, 
	but I had this dream...

	...I was taking a hike up to a little lookout with my children.
	When we got to the view, I sat the kids down with something to
	eat while I disappeared for a few minutes to get my mind in shape
	to enjoy the view...
	
	when I returned (or did I), anyways, I could hear this conversation
	going on with my kids and 2 guys who had mountain-biked up the trail.
	My dog was barking at these bikers and my kids were calling out
	to the dog: "Come here Jack!  Jack!....Jack Straw! (this is NOT
	my dog's name)...anyways, these two guys just start cracking up
	when they hear the dog's name.  They started talking to the kids:

		"where did your dog get THAT name?"

		"oh, it's a name of a Grateful Dead song.  Both my parents
		 are deadheads..."


	By the time I arrived on the scene, my girls had told these two guys
	all about my DEADication, and it turned out that one of the bikers
	was Bobby ...it just happened so innocently in the dream, here my
	kids had told him all this stuff that I would never have the nerve
	to tell him if I met him (and he wouldn't want to hear it anyways)...
	but coming from kids, he listened and actually had a "normal"
	conversation with me when I showed up.  (I didn't forget to have 
	pictures taken 	with him!)

	Debess

    wierd....my dreams are usually supressed (or is that repressed?)
                                                                   
    "Represion, recession, its all de same man" (old Cheech and Chong
    joke)
    
    But twice in the last week I've had deaddreams. The best one wuz
    were we (wife and bunch o friends) are ina small high school like
    gym, the boyz are playin to about 50 people, did cassidy jack straw,
    Standing on t he Moon and acouple of other songs while we danced
    crazily.....then we all shook coolective dead hands...the roadies
    pulled out long tables and we all rapped, drank, smoked, and ate
    with the band......BIG FEAST!!! Man, what a dream! VERY VIVID!
    
    The second one wuzn't so vivid and did not include the band but
    wuz more of a "time in the parking lot" type dream. 
                                     
    Man, If I don't make it to Vegas (closest show for me scheduled
    so far) I THINK I"M GONNA DIE!@!!!
                                rfb

    
    Thats what Valhalla is like... we all party together with the Dead
    while the band keeps playing on.
    
    Mary

    I have these dreams about going to a show.  I'm always on the outside
    of a huge arena and I'm always searching for tickets!!!  
    
    One dream I had was . . . I had just parked my car (I remember having
    a hard time finding a place to park because everytime I thought I found
    one, it ended up taken), got out, jumped over a puddle which I parked
    by, and got my feet wet.  Anyway, I remember walking around with soggy
    orange converse on, looking for tickets.  Looking around at tons of
    colored buses and lots-o-people.  
    
    The funny thing is, I never make it inside for any of the shows.  I
    can always hear them playing but I never get to see 'em.
    
    I always wake up VERY disappointed.

    	I had a dream that the Boys were playing in my high school.
    	It was really wierd.  I went to a Catholic school so for them to 
    	be there was strange.  I came walking around the cornor and saw
    	them on stage, there must have only been about 100 people at the 
    	most.   They played a song for me (can't remember what it was) and 
    	after I got to meet them.  Funny thing about meeting them was  I 
    	wasn't even nervous.  They seemed like old friends.  I think we 
    	just sat around and talked about everyday stuff.  I wonder what 
    	we really would really talk about...if I could get any words out 
    	of my mouth. 

    
    Probably about how absurd life is on this planet. :-)

Hah!  ;-)  That's pretty funny!!!  The tapes came out great, but they put 
me to sleep whenever I listen to 'em ;-)

BTW, that guy with the huge pile of electronics was Gerry.   It was all DAT
stuff, but he let me plug into the D/A converter to make an analog master ;-)
[Sounds like one of Gerry's nightmares ;-);-)]

The Jerry set was INCREDIBLE!!!  Send me mail if you want a copy ;-)

    I had another dream about the Dead just last night.  Very frustrating..
    I never got to see the concert and the usher was complaining that we
    (the Deadheads) were giving the delivery men a bad impression of the
    place.
    
    wierd..
    
    Mary

    The delivery men????
                        rfb

    ......something tells me that you had to be there to understand.

    re .0
    
    I had a dream about Ronnie Earl once! He was playing a Sunburst Strat
    with a rosewood neck. He was just as good in my dream as he is in
    person.
    
    - Dave (who eventually ended up with a Ronnie Earl Dream Guitar)

	So, last night, for the first time in a loooooong while, I crashed at
my parent's house due to my apartmentless status.  It is very, very quiet where
they live, and with the rain falling gently, I passed out and dreamed...

	I dreamed that a bunch of us DECheads planned to play hookey from
work and consume not your normal, average supermarket mushrooms.  We planned
to meet at a local supermarket and go from there.  I remember seeing various
DECheads milling around the supermarket gathering up goods for the day's
fun.  I bought myself a case of beer and was totally happy.  This is kind
of strange since most supermarkets in Massachusetts do not sell beer (especially
in the country).  While checking out, the woman running the register asked
me where I was planning to put my empties (with the thought that I was going
to consume the beer in the parking lot!).  This made me suspicious and a
bit paranoid and I replied with a smart answer saying I was going to recycle
them.

	Finally, everyone was assembled and we drove to this place in Harvard,
which does not exist.  Parts of where we hung out exist (the Lake), but not
exactly.  I remember a bunch of us trekking down this road asking questions
and getting psyched.  Bruce Mandaro asked me where I grew up.  I pointed to
up to this ridge engulfed in the haze of summer and said, "right over that 
ridge."

	We were walking through conservation land.  But now, for some reason,
there was a road and houses on the land.  Very strange.  I suggested for us
to cruise to this other location on private property ... I said it was ok
because I knew the guy who owned it and doubted that he would even show up
during the day.  So, we made our way, laughing, joking and consuming the
stuff we bought.

	Then, we were all hanging around and not doing much.  Da ve decided
to climb this tree.  I don't know how he did it (we all watched with 
amazement), but he shinnied up this really big tree -- there was no way one
would wrap his hands around this tree (well, maybe the treemon could but
he wasn't there).  Anyway, da ve climbed pretty high -- maybe 10 or 15 feet
up and sat on a branch.  Every one was giggling and wondering how he did it.
Then, he kind of lost his balanced but managed to catch a branch to safely
lower himself to the ground.... everyone sighed!
	
	While we were soaking up the fun, some other guys (who were straight)
showed up and they showed us this weird thing in a tree.  It was a rock 
shaped like a shark!!  When the tree was growing, it took this rock from the
ground with it... part of it had grown into the tree but the majority of
it was showing.  So, we all stared and pondered the shark_in_the_tree with
the 2 other strangers who had no idea what we were up to....

	that is about all i remember.

	very strange.

	All in a dream.

    
    
    What do you mean I wasn't there???  What do you think Da ve climbed
    upon? :^)
    
    Treemon_with_the_shark_shaped_rock_formation_!

    by the way Tree-mon, thanks for sticking that branch out for me so i 
    didn't bash my brains (what few are left) out on the ground...
    
    much appreciated!
    
    and thanks JC!  for some reason i never seem to be able to remember my
    dreams...  i always get a kick out of hearing other people's though...
    especially if i'm in 'em!  :^)
    
    				da ve_tree_climber_extraordinairre :^)

	Oh, one more thing.

	In the dream, da ve had _no_ beard and looked very similar to
	early photos of Jerry w/ no beard (but, I'm sure the person was
	really da ve)...

strange stuff.

i had other dreams last night, but do not recall 'em...

    Weeeellll...I predict the DEAD will come back to Denver soon.
    I had a dream last nite, a long re-occuring one that came back each
    time I woke out of it and went back to sleep. This happened last summer
    before the Mile High show and the year before for the McNichols Denver run
    
    Same kinda dream, a small crowd in a small venue. I get to converse
    with someone in the band, last nite it was a young Jerry. We are all
    over the venue from right up front to way in the back (on the way to
    the bathroom, probably %^) ) So, we will see....
    
    rfb

    
    Hey Randy!!
    
     If you have that same dream 3 nights in a row does that mean they'll
    being being a 3 night set?
    
     Sure hope your dream comes true.
    
    Divide Dave
    

Randy,

I've had a similar dream before -- I was at a early 70s dead show in a place
resembling a high school cafeteria w/ a stage... not many people, and the
boys came out to talk to people after finishing a set...........

all in a dream...

    I think I have to have the dream several nites (not nec. in a row)
    before the magic happens. Then again, maybe it was too much caffine
    yesterday  %^)
                  rfb

    
    Yeah! Thats right too much caffine.
    
      , ,

So, last night, I had yet another dead-related dream.

For some reason, my older brother did mail order for me.  When the order came
through, he gave me the tickets.  I was looking to attend 2 shows and I got
4 tix / show.  Weird thing though, each pair of tickets was a different color.
So, basically, I had 2 pairs per show that were a different color. Strange.
And, as I was looking at the purple pair, the price was $34.50 ... I 
looked at the tix and thought something was strange for I did not pay $34.50
for those tix (the cost of the others was $23.50)...... and since they 
appeared to be good seats (sec 1, row 1, seats 1+2!) for that particular
venue, I wasn't complaining.

Anyway, show time arrives.  I enter the show with (?????) and give the ticket
taker my purple ticket.  I go in.  Then, I proceeded to my section and showed
the dude my ticket.  He escorted me downstairs to this cool practise room.
I then concluded that the purple ticket was special-- a backstage pass-- and
I got them by accident...  and, there were several other folks slowly filling
the room. 

so, i'm in the room looking around.  there were a fair # of big security dudes
making sure nothing bad was going to happen...  i saw Jerry's guitar, bob's
axe, and all sorts of neat-o recording stuff... then, in the hallway, the
opening band walked past (don't know who they were) and you could hear the
crowd get excited.

then, somebody came out of this black door and made an announcement to the
people in the room... this person started to introduce the band members, one
at a time, as they walked through the door... I remember mikey hart passing by
me and shaking my hand.  i remember bobby coming in and immediately turning
his attention to some nice looking woman on the other side of the room.  
finally, the last person to be introduced was Jerry...  everyone was pretty
excited.  I remember going up to him, shaking my hand, and telling that i
really appreciated his guitar style ... he said thanks with a grin.  

after the introductions, they played a couple of songs for us... nice and
mellow, low-key.... then, it was time for them to take the stage...

end of dream.

strange.

    Patty told me she had a dream we were in London seeing the dead...a day
    or two after my last deaddream...I had not told her of my
    dream...something wierd is going on here ( as if I didn't know that
    alrrady!)
             rfb

	I dreamed (last night) that Jerry gave me a guitar lesson.  It was
quite the experience!!

	And, as it turned out, Jerry was just a normal dude...

    
    I had a dream that I was at a concert (I don't know who was
    playing) but I was sitting way in the back and it was really
    dark and I was by myself.  My brain was going 100 mph and 
    just people watching....  then I looked to my left and sitting
    one seat away from me was Jerry!  The seat between us was empty
    and we were just staring at each other for a minute, then at
    the same time we both started laughing hysterically.  The rest
    of the dream was just a jumble of music, laughter and happiness!
    
    I woke up with a smile on my face and the laughter still in my
    heart!  
    
    (I'm getting the same feeling again just rethinking it!!!  :)
    
    hee hee hee!
    
    MJ  

    I THOUGHT i had a dead dream last month...a band was playin grate tunes
    , but the dead never "materalized" in the dream...(my dreams are never
    very clear fer some reason) the next day Arlo was announced  to be in town!!
  %^) %^) %^)

    had this dream a couple of weeks ago....been thinking alot about it....
    
    We were walking into the not yet happened Vegas shows...I get separated
    from my group and am wandering around looking for them.....
    I hear a "Hey" and turn to see one of my close friends that WILL not be
    at that show, the brother of my good friend that left us 'round Xmas
    time for that big show in the sky....He's trying to talk me into
    indulging in a drink and I keep saying I gotta wait until I find my
    group of people. As he's trying to convince me to indulge I look over
    my shoulder and see Dan, my friend who has left this earth, sitting in
    the only huge overstuffed easy chair at the show. He's smiling at me. 
    His brother is still insisting I partake and I'm still insisting I
    shouldn't until I find my group. i finally give in, indulge and look
    back over my shoulder at Dan, who smiles and winks at me....Poof...end
    of dream....
    
    I've interpreted this to mean that I'm the only one in my dream and at
    the show that can see Dan!! I'll be looking for that overstuffed chair
    in Vegas,...if anyone else see's it...look for a short fat guy with a
    long beard sittin there....and say Hi.....
    
    
    rfb 
    
    

    I've got a feeling he'll be there whether you see him or not. :-)

    I ***KNOW**** he'll be there!!!!!!

    This is a little snippet of a dream I had the other night.  Seems I was
    outside of a venue (seemed to be my old high school, across the street
    from Checker's grave ;-) running around picking up money off the ground
    (collected about 30 or 40 bucks, even though someone was competeing
    with me ;-) that various heads had dropped.  Then for some reason we 
    were all sitting in a lobby, waiting on the 'will-call' ticket people
    to verify our status.  It seems like they were checking on credit
    cards, and we overheard them saying to some people who apparently 
    hadn't given their real names "mumble [some name I can't recall]
    mumble, Bill Clinton and Barbara Bush!!??  What are you two doing going
    to this concert together!?!"

    Wow! Very strange dream last night.
    
    I dreamed that Jerry Garcia was in my home, only it wasn't really my
    home.  He was still pretty chunky.  He was wearing his pants too low,
    so that you could see the crack of his butt when he bent over to pick
    up his guitar in the corner of the room.
    
    He played solo, but it sounded like all the boyz were there.  I didn't
    recognize the song, but it sure sounded like one of theirs.  Jerry 
    played sweet and clean.
    
    I can't remember any more.
    
    Wish I could remember how the song went. 
    
    Bud

    couple of weird ones lately....
    
    Before the Denver McNichols run in December, I had my normal "Dan at the
    dead" dream, Dan is my friend that left us this time last year. We were
    at a small venue outside somewhere, Me, Dan, Patty, Dan's bro Dave and
    the regular crew...front row. Jerry comes down and sets with us while
    the rest of the band plays on, we have a nmormal conversation and then
    Jerry returns to the stage. The dead continue to play while ahuge
    buffet is brought out and the entire show gets in line for food, and
    the band keeps playin! Then one by one the band gets in line, somehow
    the music keeps being played. We all have a grate feast, laughin and
    eatin, dancin and carryin on. So when Eyes was played at the REAL
    Denver shows...I knew it was for Dan....
    
    Just the other nite I had a rather weird dream...hope it doesn't really
    mean anything. The show we were at (no Dan this time) was lousy! The
    boyz just couldn't get it together and after several lame songs, left!
    I yelled at Healy 'Where they goin?" he yelled back "Arabia!" %^/

Last night I dreamt that Jerry threw his guitar into the audience at the end of
a song, hitting someone, and was taken away in handcuffs by the police.

- dc

    that'll teach 'em to mess with Jerry's guitar!  %^)
    rfb

    Last night I had a dream about Jerry and Bobby.....
    
    Let's see....they were going to play a concert, and I was down the hill
    from Jerry's house. His house was beautiful and I was looking at it for some
    time.  I walked up the driveway as they were walking out to their cars to go
    to the show.  I said, "Hi Jerry!  Hi Bobby!"  And they waved back and drove
    past me.  I did the same thing the next night.  This time, Jerry drove away
    first, and Bobby got into a kiddy car (it looked like a miniature golf 
    cart) with some other guy and started to drive but then stopped a few feet 
    away.  So I walked up to the car and he was holding his head saying, "This 
    is too intense. I can't take it..." (Apparently he just took some 
    hallucinagenic drug and was having problems driving).  So I rubbed his 
    shoulders and said, "It's OK....just take it slow.."  (??????? Rubbed his 
    shoulders?  Like I said, it was a weird dream).  So I then picked up the 
    kiddy car and carried them on my shoulders down the driveway. This way, 
    Bobby didn't have to drive.  (Don't ask where I got these incredible 
    superpowers to carry 2 grown men in a kiddy car on my shoulder, but I 
    remember thinking, 'Wow I got stronger' in my dream).  So I carried them 
    to Jerry's wedding.  (I guess they weren't on their way to a show after 
    all). Jerry was marrying this woman that he has been seeing for quite some 
    time now.  I remember looking at their rings and she bought him this ring
    with this huge pink heart (like a rose quartz) in the middle and small
    diamonds around the heart.  I remember thinking, "God, how gaudy.  I 
    wonder if he'll wear it while on tour?"
    
    That's all I remember. There was more, but it's still a little cloudy. 
    Yes, it was kinda boring but I was just thinking about it so I decided to
    share it with you guys...:)
    
    :), danielle

    wish i could have someone do that when i can't drive.....

	WOW!

    
    I had a dead-related dream the other night...
    
    I was at a show (sometime, somewhere... no clue) and there were
    these huge escalators going up and down and crossing over each other
    all over the place.  I was so confused trying to find my seat and
    I was just riding up one of the escalators and a woman and man in
    front of me kept telling me I was going the wrong way... but I 
    couldn't figure out if and why they were talking to me because they
    didn't even know me.  I finally got a peak inside the stadium to see
    where the heck I was from the stage and then suddenly got pushed onto
    another escalator...  
    This time I ended up right next to the stage.  And I do mean RIGHT
    NEXT to it!  The stage was very small and very strange looking...
    between songs Jerry walked up to the side of the stage where I was
    and was asking for requests... the people around me started asking
    for all of these songs I had never heard of and suddenly I was 
    feeling lost and I couldn't think of one song to request.  Jerry was
    really grouchy and kept saying "no, not that one, I hate that one"
    and he had a butt hanging out of his mouth the whole time.  Bobby
    was behind Jerry in his own little world just tuning up his guitar.
    I finally just walked away and decided I liked Jerry better from 
    far away!  :-)

    dead dream last nite...
    
    at a venue similar to DSP in PHX, Patty gets sick and wants to leave at
    the beginning of the 2nd set.. I walk her back to the motel (similar
    the the sh*t box we stayed in in PHX) put her to bed and when she
    starts feeling beter she tells me to go back to the show (walking
    distance, similar to Denver) as I go to go out the motel lobby it's
    raining harder than I've ever seen it rain, in my dreams or in real
    life! I can hear China Cat drifting out of the venue and thru the
    parking lot to the motel door way where I'm satnding. I say "JEEZZZUS!
    It's raining cats and dogs!!!" to a deadhead standing nearby, at which
    time my dogs wake me up from my sleep barking at a freaking cat in the
    backyard!!!!!!

Bunch of dreams last night.  Last one I remember had the dead on stage
at a smallish auditorioum.  No keyboards set up that I recall, and all the
tunes were space/ atonal stuff.  At one point Jerry, with his new guitar
(red with an large inlaid spider - Spider Gawd, of course)  seemed a bit 
perturbed and had to have a conference with a techie.  After a few punching
of buttons and plugging of cords, Jerry strummed the strings, and Wow, 
you could finally hear him!  A little later, Bob looked over in
disgust at the sunlight bursting through the curtains, so, being nearby,
I went over to adjust them somewhat so they weren't letting sunlight
directly on the band.  After getting back in my seat there may have been
a break or brief lapse.  The last thing I remember was Bob stepping up
to the mike and saying "The next one's for Glenn Cambell" and Phil 
complained "Hey, I thought we weren't going to play anything with chords
in it"  To which Bob just smiled and shrugged and they broke into this
dirge like tune.  Sort of a "He's Gone" theme, but not He's gone".  
At which point, I turned to a friend and said "I didn't know Glenn Cambell
was dead??"  "Oh, sure"  and after a bit more music I woke up convinced
it was time to get up, but twas only about 5:30.  Time for a bit more sleep ;-)

The other dream was about being in jail, and was very interesting, but
I'm sure not true to life, as I've only spent a few hours in the
lockup at the police station about 20 years ago.


Why do I think this was all sparked by Nixon's funeral??

    I had a DEChead related dream last night...
    
    Lisa Yetto, Adam, and someone else, (can't remember who) were

Please let us know regardless. :-)

Did we at least question a few answers correctly?

    I keep having a re-occuring nightmare that I have tickets to shows in
    like Philly, Ohio, and D.C., and I leave to late and miss the show.
    Like the show starts at 7:00 p.m. and it takes 5 hours to get to the
    show, but I can't leave for whatever circumstances till about
    5:00 p.m. and no matter how fast I drive I get there just as everybody
    is leaving saying, " Wow! What an incredible show! "
    What a hell I sleep in....................

	Well, I don't normaly do this in public. But, I'm a psychic and
	read cards, auras, and dreams. I usually only consult on a
	private basis, but for you I'll interpret this dream ..
	

	
	YOU NEED A SHOW REAL BAD!!

    I had a strange dead show dream last night.  I landed seats for a show
    that were row 1 seats 1 & 2.  I showed up at the venue and discovered
    the theater was underwater.  I had to swin down to the doors and there
    was a small air tight room.  I walked in and saw the dead with Brent 
    on stage.  The band couldn't play though because there were electrical
    problems.  so instead, they just had a question and answer session.
    Sort of strange feeling, then I woke up.

...and I know _your_ problem.  You've been thinking too much about the 
Dead's nearly-underwater shocking set at Woodstock!  :-)

    Last night I dreamed that I ran into my friend Rich and
    he told me that the Dead were playing in Millbury this
    Sunday.  I had him get me a ticket.  :-( 
    
    I think I'll go back to sleep until Sunday...
    
    

    
    btw...  before entering the last note I went back
    and read a lot of the entries in this string... 
    
    A much needed laugh!  :-)

    I just did the same thing....got some laughs and some weird shivers up
    my spine.....

	jc had the best dreams  ;-)
	or at least the most descriptive.

    
    I have Jerry dreams frequently - they started after he died.  I thought
    they would go away after a few weeks but they haven't. The dreams are
    always pleasant ones .. he is usually smiling, sitting at a table
    talking, or playing softly, or sitting in a chair in the sun.  It's
    like a couple a week - on average.  I've stopped being spooked by it
    pretty much and now kind of accept it.
    
    

    
    and the most recent dream i had was the night of the lunar eclipse
    last wednesday nite ... sounds like it was the nite into day that the
    ashes were being scattered.
