Weirdest dream about the Rats gig tomorrow

Would have been great if Fingers suddenly appeared and started playing the opening chords to Sleep!

Gerry Cott lives nearby, but will probably be getting a good night's sleep for his recital the next day.

As for Geldof, he turned up when they supported the Blockheads in London, and had Garry play with him on the record and in Dublin. Not sure there is that much hostility. It wouldn't surprise me if one day there were more than three Rats on the stage at once, though I think a full reunion may be pushing it.

I could bring my dream interpretation book with me tomorrow night Jules.

I will look up what it means if Bob Geldof turns up to collect something at a rats gig.

hmmm the mind boggles :)

Joan, I have Freud's book of dream interpretations - dread to think what he'd have made of it biggrin

I have occasional dreams featuring either the Boomtown Rats or Geldof on his own.

I always find it they are performing a song in the dream the song usually is enhanced, sounding really brilliant and utterly convincing-better than it could ever sound in real life.

I had a dream lately that the Rats played at my old school - but the were impostors - not the real Rats- in a reunion type gig. The gig was in an old classroom and it was crammed with people in their forties and older. The crowd seemed to enjoy the gig and the music was really good but it wasn't the "real" Boomtown Rats and I felt a bit confused.

The always say that dreams express either unconscious wishes or fears.

I'll have to analyse Jules dream further.

Freud's main source of sustenance was cocaine so his analysis of various aspects of psychology is a bit skewed- but he does make a lot of sense too.

The defence mechanism bit made lots of sense, other areas are just too bizarre. Later psychoanalysts talked about motivation and roots of behaviour being down to aggression/anger rather than sexual!
