Dreams Do Come True

Relient K dream numero uno

Sometime after November 20, 2005
I only know the date because, despite my best efforts, I never had a relient k dream until after I saw them live for the first time. In what I believe is the first in a series of relient k dreams, Julia, Katie and I were frolicking in a field with sheep. It was something like Chaffee park, part county fair. There were lots of kiddie rides and open spaces to in which to play. We got to the train and they got on but I wasn’t allowed because I was too old and it had taken off with them before they could get off (I say this only to stress that they didn’t ditch me. I would have been dream-pissed.) so I’m getting worried about how I will meet up with them again when Teri Hatcher shows up and promises to guide me through a series of tunnels which will eventually lead me to where the train ride ends, which is at a house where a pretty typical college-type party is going on. Not totally wild (not that I had or have any experience) but lots of red cups and people lounging about, ambient noise. I wander around the house a bit to find who, but all five relient k guys squeezed on a couch. In my dream, I felt like we were engaging in conversation and having a good old time but I seem to remember them more comatose. I think it was because, except for Hoopes, I really didn’t have distinguished personalities for any of them. I don’t think Matt Thiessen was there actually. If so, I didn’t notice him. Hoopes was prevalent.

Another relient k dream
Later, probably mid 2007
In this one, I am attending a relient k concert with my Dad. I’m aware of Julia and Katie and other friends being there but for some reason I am not with them. It is at a giant church, similar to the one I went to in Texas, mainly in that it had a balcony. I also believe it was geared towards children. The gist of the dream is that I missed most of the concert (opening acts and probably main event as well) because I was so obsessed with getting back stage and meeting the band. I should add that I was unsuccessful.

Yet Another

Closer to November, 2007

This dream occurred as I was getting really excited for the Nov. 2007 shows (little did I know then!) I was at a much harder concert than in the previous dream (not that these were consecutive. This journal is only loosely chronological, as best I can remember.) because I remember there being lots of sweaty people on the floor (I was at the back, not being squished) and it was dark, with a light show. Cindy was there, and so I assume her kids Matt and Cassidy. During a break, they tossed out t-shirts which apparently had the bonus of being a backstage pass. Cindy caught one but wouldn’t let me have it because she wanted to give it to her kids. Awake, I fully realize the legitimacy of this. During the dream however, I was kind of disappointed seeing as how I was right there and the kids were goodness only knows where. My waking relationship with Cindy has not been compromised. (Thanks to Katie for these actual photos of an actual concert that I was actually at. Actually!)
