OK, I’m gonna give up ONE more dream from that thread, before I let the thread be dormant for a bit (there are probably about 20 dreams that I wrote down right after I had them):

#2:

“Two nights ago, I finally had my first dream starring John Williams, at least the first I am capable of remembering. Although it is planted in my short term memory now, I am only able to remember fragments of the REM involving Williams.

I was back in my high school days again, 10 years ago (as was also the case with the Goldsmith dream – see above) and I was home with my family.

In our TV livingroom on the second floor: Mom, dad, my 18 year old sister and 12 year old brother (they were the current age although *I* was back in my high school days – go figure). We were all sitting in the bended brown sofa, relaxing with cups of coffee and biscuits.

As a guest-of-honour, John Williams was situated in the corner of the sofa, speaking fluently Norwegian, of course. It was like having grandpa over.

I remember sitting perfectly still, afraid to engage in conversation with the maestro (I’ve always disliked that indelible ass-kissing that journalists pour over celebrities in interviews, and wanted to avoid that at all costs). My father spoke enthusiastically, though, telling him how big a fan I was and how large my collection was. The latter part concerned me – I was convinced that if Williams caught a glimpse of my collection in my room with all the bootlegs, he would turn red in a fit of rage and yell at me. That didn’t happen, though, as far as I remember.

My father, still enthusiastic, continued to praise Williams for the wonderful statuette that he had sculptured (sic) – the statuette which the contestants of the TV show SURVIVOR gets when they have won a trial of sorts and are “immune” in the next “council” (the ones who have seen the not-so-great show know what I’m talking about). My father URGED Williams to take with him this statuette the next time they were in the freemason’s lodge (of which my father, and now also obviously Williams, is a member).

That’s all I can remember, but it’s pretty weird, I think.”
