Interesting dream Pam, I think of Gordon Lightfoot every time of the day. Im sure I must have had some dream about him, but cant seem to remember even one. Wouldn't it be weird if you spotted the guy who was in your dream that you never saw before, at Massey in May ?? :eek: :)

Re: "It's Time For A Gordontime Dream!"
 

[quote=Cathy;114644]I once had a dream that a bunch of us were sitting front row center at Massey Hall. Gord invited Derek and me up on stage to do our versions of Don Quixote and Ribbon Of Darkness. Terry gave his guitar to Derek, and Gord handed his D-18 over to me. I slung the strap over my shoulder and put my arms around the guitar, and the thing started growing. It got bigger and bigger until I could no longer reach the neck or the strings. It was approximately the size of a stand up double bass. Derek kept saying, "Start the song, Cathy. Start the song, Cathy... Will you start the song? What's the hold-up? Start the damned song!" I was freaking out, because the guitar wouldn't stop growing, and every one in the audience was laughing hysterically. Gord didn't help me out at all. He just stood there with a frantic, shocked look on his face, saying something like, "Hey! What are you doing to my guitar?" Terry was sitting on his amp, leaning ahead, shoulders heaving in fits of uncontrollable laughter. I could hear Rick chuckling in the background. It was a traumatic experience! I think I woke up hyperventilating and gasping for air.

Cathy, this was hilarious! I really was laughing out loud, so several office mates had to check it out too, and we all had a good laugh. Believe me, it was really therapeutic.

Re: "It's Time For A Gordontime Dream!"
 

That was quite a dream Pam. I had a couple of them last fall, two Tuesday nights in a row, but not quite a vivid as yours. In one dream he called me up and wanted me to come over. I went and I told him I brought breakfast and he said that was fabulous. Then four guys came over and we were talking and one guy and I looked out the window at my car and he asked how my tires were and I said they were alright. Then a bunch of other people started coming over.
Another dream, there were a bunch of us riding in a car and we were happily talking about some concert plans.
Then two or three weeks ago I had one dream and I was walking with him and he was carrying a bucket with a candle in it, and I told him that I had a bucket with a candle in it just like his at the top of the driveway and I could tell that he wanted me to get it. Now I want to have another dream where I have my candle bucket too. .... oh well.

Re: "It's Time For A Gordontime Dream!"
 

Wow Pam :) Good one. Think that guy who needed the shave could have been me? I have dark hair & glasses but i haven't had a leather jacket since I was 20. ;)

Just got caught up reading all of this...I think we all need a dream therapist! LOL!

None to report here from myself but hopefully soon. :cool:

Re: "It's Time For A Gordontime Dream!"
 

Et Patti, est-ce que tu apprends le francais ? :rolleyes:

Re: "It's Time For A Gordontime Dream!"
 

I was just letting you know that I read your previous message. And I thank you if you wish me good luck and sweet dreams. I hope you also have good luck or whatever you need to have in your life. Thanks for being thoughtful and I hope you have some good conks and dreams too.

{Thank's A Lot} in french is,--->>> {Merci Beaucoup} ! I think it was Char that said a few years ago that when she wants to thank someone in french it sounds like Merci Bucket. :biggrin: Sorry Char if it was not you... :)

Patti I cant ever remember dreaming of carrying a bucket. :rolleyes:

Re: "It's Time For A Gordontime Dream!"
 

I did. Look at post #85. :biggrin:

Re: "It's Time For A Gordontime Dream!"
 

Is there a reason for the candle ? :confused:

Re: "It's Time For A Gordontime Dream!"
 

Candle
To see a burning candle in your dream, signifies that good luck and hope will be coming your way in small and steady amounts. You are in a comfortable stage in your life and may be seeking spiritual enlightenment. Lit candles are also symbolic of intellect, enlightenment, awareness or the search for truth.

Re: "It's Time For A Gordontime Dream!"
 

Very interesting... :)

Re: "It's Time For A Gordontime Dream!"
 

I had a dream that i finally got to meet him. :)

Re: "It's Time For A Gordontime Dream!"
 

It must have been a nice dream. :)

Re: "It's Time For A Gordontime Dream!"
 

Well,my turn once again. :)

Last night/early morn I had this fairly simple yet unique dream that Gordon,myself,Ian (of Ian & Sylvia) and David Gates were getting on a tour bus to go to San Francisco.

Before boarding the bus we broke into a strange rendition of "Early Morning Rain" that kind of looked like a music video (in the dream) and that went like this:

"Into the San Francisco rain,
on a tour bus we will ride."
"Over the Golden Gate so tall
and through Haight-Ashbury besides".
"So we best be on our way......into the San Francisco rain."

To top it off,Gord was dressed in dark clothes and had that post-UA long curly hair & that new moustache that he had grown,like in that clip for "Saturdy Clothes".

I understand why Ian was there but David Gates' presence is puzzling. :eek:

Another doozy of a dream but still :cool: .

Re: "It's Time For A Gordontime Dream!"
 

Here's a new on from last night. I Dreamed that Gordon and some young woman (Gord was young too) were in an "unusual" wedding ceremony.

They were singing "Nous Vivons Ensamble" to each-other (with music which I heard clear as a bell) and before the end of the cermony,instead of having a wedding cake they playfully fed fruit to each-other.

A description for you ladies out there: No priest or minister there and Gordon was dressed in those light blue clothes from the Sundown LP cover but was clean-shaven and his hair was as curled as it was in 1970. (I'm sure that's a neat image for you. LOL!) :)

Anyhow,during this,some other woman walked up to Gordon and handed him a piece of paper and ........then the phone rang and woke me! :rolleyes:

Never know how it ended but pretty neat dream. ;)

Re: "It's Time For A Gordontime Dream!"
 

That is a pretty neat dream, Walter. Thank you for sharing that.


Nous Vivons Ensemble (Songbook) 3:45


We've got to stay together
We've got to find each other now
That is how we can learn all about the other man's song
On the plains of Abraham
When they sent the lamb to die
You and I were asleep in the Rock of Ages
Remember the unborn children still to come
If you need me and I need you
There's nothin' else needs sayin'
Understand it
I'm not too deaf to hear the song you're playin'

Nous vivons ensemble
Nous nous connaissons maintenant
Voici comment nous pouvons decouvrir une autre humanite
Sur les plaines D'Abraham
Lors du dernier sacrifice
Toi et moi nous dormions tres loin dans le temp
Souviens toi des enfants qui attendent encore

Si tu me veux je serai la c'est tout ce que j'ai a dire
Car comprend moi
Je ne suis pas sourd a la musique que tu joues

Re: "It's Time For A Gordontime Dream!"
 

You're welcome Patti. :) I just noticed,this thread has surpassed 100. Cool. :cool:

Re: "It's Time For A Gordontime Dream!"
 

Yeah, :cool: Remember that one time I wrote about hearing that beautiful music he was playing in a dream? Walter, you were kidding me about wanting more than music. Well, I believe that was a synthesizer. I could hear it clear as a bell too and not only with my ears, but my being. I didn't know he played synthesizer until a few days ago someone posted something about it. I loved that dream.

Re: "It's Time For A Gordontime Dream!"
 

Yes,I was just teasing you. ;)

I didn't know he played synth either but I do believe he does play piano...or am I mistaken?

Re: "It's Time For A Gordontime Dream!"
 

Last week, lighthead2toe mentioned him playing synth on his Flyin' Blind post. I just think it was so nice of all those guys to help Gordon get all that recording done while he was in the hospital.

Re: "It's Time For A Gordontime Dream!"
 

Walter, I think that it is interesting that you have dreams of him that are in the past tense. ...OR maybe it just means something else.

Last night I had a dream about him. We were talking on the telephone. At the end of the conversation he said, "It was nice talking to you," and then I said, "I hope you will call me again sometime soon." Then he didn't say anything. I didn't either.

I don't know why I'm even posting this. I just hope everything is alright.

Dreams ... I think they may be some type of a guide sometimes, but then some are just plain ol forgettable dreams.

Re: "It's Time For A Gordontime Dream!"
 

Y'know Patti,Gord (possiibly) crying in the dream could be due to the losses he's dealt with recently or maybe because you (and the rest of us) dread the thought of these and "other" goodbyes. :(

So strange how Gord fought to live only to end up saying farewell to people close to him.

Re: "It's Time For A Gordontime Dream!"
 

:) There's hope, B.

Re: "It's Time For A Gordontime Dream!"
 

People, another dream of mine may well be coming true in October. I was listening to the radio this morning, and I had a hard time believing what I had heard. Gordon is supposed to perform at the Robinson Center Auditorium on October 5th, and come Monday, I'm going to make a few calls to find out about ticket prices & seating. I've always told myself that, given the chance, I'd go see the man himself if he were to ever come here. Cross my fingers & knock on wood. :)

Re: "It's Time For A Gordontime Dream!"
 

I hope you get the chance to see him, Timetraveler.
If you haven't seen him live yet, please, go...do whatever it takes and see him now that your chance has come.

He is magical in concert. It's wonderful to see him live and be in the same space as he is for awhile. His grace just shines when you watch him sing...

It will be better than any dream you can have.:)

Patti...don't be sad. That dream could mean so many things and lots of them aren't sad happenings.

Re: "It's Time For A Gordontime Dream!"
 

It is confirmed timetraveler, Gordon Lightfoot will be in concert 10/05/08 at "The Robinson Center Music Hall" in Little Rock Arkansa. :)

So go ahead tt, experience the greatest songwriter that Canada has ever produced... ;)

Re: "It's Time For A Gordontime Dream!"
 

How are they getting into your house? I'd find the opening and stuff it with steel wool!

I once killed a bat in a friend's house with a tennis racket. He got 'spiked', so to say.

Cathy

Re: "It's Time For A Gordontime Dream!"
 

Val Magee and I once freaked out when we found a tiny bad hanging in a curtain. Derek Kidd got ahold of it with a dish towel or something, and threw the bat out the door. Seems I remember he was quite pal afterwards. It must be tough. It's okay for women to be wimps around scary creatures. Men have to suck it up and just handle it, AND let on that they aren't at all afraid. But... I had him figured out. He was trembling in his sneakers.

Cathy

Re: "It's Time For A Gordontime Dream!"
 

Hey Stephanniel,
It's a backstage routine, the concert club or house management provides a "Kraft Tray" which is "eats & drinks" for the band. Sometimes there is just too much for them to finish, and the "Backstage Pass Guests" finish off what's left. Maybe you were part of this experince in your dream?
Cheers,
Christopher

Re: "It's Time For A Gordontime Dream!"
 

Psst, psst, what a way to wake up from such a dream. That was pretty freaky and a little hilarious too, wow!
Bats brought back some memories for me too. In the early 70's, when we lived by 'the old house', (no one lived in it), sometimes in the evenings, we would see a bat fly out of the chimney. My sisters and I would like to talk in a W.C. Fields accent back then and we'd say, "There went a baaaat, outa the chimneah..." Once my Dad overheard us and chimed in saying, "And it flew like a bat outa the chimneah..."

Re: "It's Time For A Gordontime Dream!"
 

My dream with Gord in it. Note - this is one of my longer threads, for those who understandably find them tedious - just skip it, as I'm sure you do LOL, otherwise, settle in and have a spell. Caution, I caught myself elaborating so much detail that it is in two parts in order to be thoughtful of the reader's vital signs. "Thush begineth part one" as Sean Connery's 007 shaid....

OK - I will try to lay this one down in words. I dream that I am in a non-existant in real-life conference center in the airport (the Municipally-subsidized conference center is in reality not at all by or attached to the airport, but near the ocean , , a recurring dream...and as such please forgive me if I have described this one before to all good corfidites. Setting: in the airport in San Diego, more specifically, a multi-tiered problem to figure out; central theme being I am lost. Real common, that, in a dream. But what is odd as central themes again is that all the geometry is wrong. Like, spiral stairs leading nowhere, or spiraling, ramped floors like in a drive-up parking complex, where the transition from floor 2 to 3 is a vague thing, and I always get it wrong in real life when I come back to the car, which only, it seems, reinforces the dream. OK Gord will appear...

So I am first in the conference center, and my tongue and mouth go dry; tongue stuck to the roof of my mouth, and all I could make in the microphone for a sound was something like the sound of a fish when you squeeze it after gutting it (sorry ladies LOL) with in excess of 8,000 mappers & geodesists waiting for me to give my "preezentation"(this I have had actually happen in that very setting, minus the Escher-like sideways stairs..lol),soooo....I'm at the diaz, my mouth is dry, and I panic... then -poof ! - I am apparently down below it, in a second-city-ish mall under ground level.

And I don't like retail structures under ground level. Walk out garden-level - OK, but in Denver (suburban Lakewood,actually), there was a HUGE mall that locals surmised ,unsubstantiated, was the largest mall in the world in real life. It was called Cinderella City, and they must've figured they lost the men on that one by virtue of a girly-sounding name. Yeah, tell the guys fom Ice Road Truckers that you're a grown man "going to Cinderella City, for a few things, this and that, did they want to come shop with you? waap! thud ! muttered jeers and laughter in the background.

For this apparent reason, worthless word-of mouth had it that they built (under) the "City" a lower level of parking (in spirals with ambiguous floor numbers agggh), and rows of shops with actual cinder-strewn streets and old-fashioned (well, maybe late 1940's Bogart Sam Spade gumshoe movie-set-like appearance ) with fake street lanterns. and strore-fronts, and put "guy stuff "shops down there - pocket knife shops, sporting goods, travel accoutrements, and a now-defunct I think tasteless novely store called Spencer's gifts, pen store, a mini real by-gosh hardware store with self-consciously nostalgic wood floors, a electronic andother "gadget" store ( my mother and Merry used to call my affection for steel gadgets "bright and shiney's) eg Leatherman mini-tools,etc. - , like a raccon in what it steals, usually oreferredetc., and appropriately called it Cinder Alley.

Well, I had gone there a few times with friends as a teenager, driving down from our little "SouthPark" of Estes Park, where I went to High School. Wht ties this real-world part importantly to the dream was the fact that every time we went, we'd agree as a group of 5 or 6 to split up and meet back upstairs in one of the myriad wings, each with three above-ground levels, and one below, with theme names to the wings, and a central pavillion ala Jefferson Madisonian style, with the requisite big fountain.

We'd variably get lost ultimately in meeting our friends at designated time and place, and always seemed to wind up coming up out of Cinder Alley in the wong "hatch" - there were, brainlessly, mini-pavillions in addition to the central one. All presumably to create the maze theory in retail, and successfully at that, where the goal is to keep the customer in a puzzling non Euclidian environment where logical in/out uo/down don't seem to work, and you spend more money !

Thats the theory, still in use to get to the bread and meat and commodities in grocery, and have to navigate past high-mark-up candy, chips, and packaged food to get to the milk and bread. Inpractice however, it just pi**es eveyone off, Target is like this ,too, and Cinderella City was the Arch de Triumph of confusion and pi**ing off customers; with urban legends born in the mall alone of people having heart attacks trying to find their way back to their car.... being born and dying there, living on nachos and orange Julius (just kidding that part). Cindarella City not surprisingly wnt out of business, after turning into a gang haven, and even got to (per urban local legend) open fires in 5-gallon drums with (sad part) homeless people in it, too.

It got torn down, being a zoning albatross and a blight on the otherwise allready undistinguished light-industrial/commercial transitionary enclaves in Lakewood over time anyway. In some attempt to quash everyones' bad memories of the mall's demise, the city fathers soothed the collective conscience with some benevolent structure on the bentonite-ridden grounds there (that was the other problem, wings were sinking in it originally...) .

Back to the dream, having established sufficient cause in real life for such confusion in dreams. In the dream, I go from the conference center poof! down to the sub-mall, one end of the unwisely spiraling floors in the mall ending at a Marriot Hotel, the other end at the airport (mixed a little, but not unlike DIA airport - you know the one with the tent-roof.... OK I am wandering up/down/Escher-like sideways at times it seems in this old distressed mall , when poof! Iam taken down one more level/concept into a subterranean cavern, repleat with stalgmites and tites, and , of course, a confusing spiral route out of and upward throug the cave, presumably to the old mall, then up to the conference center- where of course I am scheduled to present again at an impossible to make time, on a map and white paper presentation I spent weeks on wth my tireless colleague.. Oh - white paper humour time - know what the difference is between a presentation and a PREEZentation ? about 3 parts ego, $2,000 more wasted on man-hours and overhead puting it together on work time, one part regional colloquialism in pronunciation, and one part pretentious airs ! OK shop humour, sorry...
Well I'd better break this up lest a reader die from boredom. In exciting part II, we meet Gordon, who has sage advice couched in metaphor and wilderness lore, I am inspired, and approach my escape a whole new way, at present, down in the cave (which BTW as you know, is the name of the dive Gord first had his paid GIG in the US, I believe the story goes, where i grew up in younger years in Cleveland, Ohio. Interessting.... Gord and the "cave" of a different hue in a dream...all that AND more, IN PART 2, "The case of the impossible Swiss Euler spiral from the cave, out and up to...revelation" in our next segment. Hope I did not lose two many here....

Concert
To dream that you are at a concert, represents harmony and cooperation in a situation or relationship of your waking life. You are experiencing an uplift in your spirits.

Re: "It's Time For A Gordontime Dream!"
 

Hey guys - I have a feeling this one came up once before - but even so I'd still make a short (for me LOL) post of it anyway. I dreamed- two times now.... that I heard a new song by Gordon that was absolutely - stunning/mesmerizing - like combining the best aspects of IYCRMM, CRT, Restless, Sea of Tranquility, Softly, - you get the idea.

In the other dream - ethereal songs as Gord says with a smile - One that combined the best qualitites of:" Is There Anyone Home", "The Soul is the Rock", "A Lesson in Love" (even though that one is both on favourite and least favourite lists lol) and so forth.

POINT BEING - in two different dreams now that I have had, maybe a year apart, I have heard complete, original, never-recorded Gordon-music, lyrics and all, orchestration - like Nick DeCaro in the mid 70's, Gord in vocal "prime" in other words my brain made-em-up - no sh** - and when I woke up, I desperately was looking for a pen and paper - don't you hate that on dreams ?

And by the time I found writing material, the dream was fading to the point of could not write it down. Since I don't know how to write music, I could not write down the bars, but if I could keep the lyrics in mind, I could later hum it.

I *really* did dream two complete songs.... if only I could get 'em down on paper, right now I'd be happy to just remember them. In the dreams, i was really excited - like when you see on the CD shelf - LP albums in the day - a new Lightfoot album and you just about jump up and down, but you play it cool cause people are watching...... LOL
HAS THIS HAPPENED TO ANY OF YOU - WHOLE SONGS , NOT JUST GREAT RIFFS ?

Re: "It's Time For A Gordontime Dream!"
 

Different kind of a dream, last night I dreamed that some guy sent me a note and I was reading it and it said, "Hang on to him. Something must have happened. Gasp."


:rolleyes: ... dreams!

Re: "It's Time For A Gordontime Dream!"
 

The night before last Gordon and I were out camping and we were standing around kissing a little bit and he was pulling a warm hat down over my head. Then I woke up.
