Unlike most dreams of late; related to lovers and friends and conversations i wish i was having with people i was refusing to let myself talk to...
This one came right out of left field.
To the best of my memory, it began in a theater, which will later be comparable to the North Toronto Collegate Institute's music theater where i used to watch many many of my brothers's concerts. But in this case i was watching my Dad's Welsh male voice concert. I was thinking about life whilst this concert was going on... daydreaming of my usual dreams with the background of these welsh males... Then a new act came on, new musical background to my thoughts. Not important really.
Every now and then the angle would change to third person birds eye view of the audience... i was doodling and thinking still.
Then there was another stage change... it was a symphonic ochestra and Tim and Mike ( my brothers) were in the band... everyone in the band was under the age of ten ( including them).
As soon as these kids started playing.... the audience started getting up and leaving in hords. I was appauled.. ( at this point it became apparent that my voice was horse and i had a cold...sidenote). I turned around in my seat and watched and willed these people to stay... which didn't work.
so i ended up yelling out at the top of my lungs " SIT THE FUCK DOWN... THESE ARE YOUR CHILDREN... THIS IS YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD... SHOW A LITTLE RESPECT. "
and immediately the crowd sheepishly sat down and shut up.
the concert ended with this little boy standing up with a mic and thanking people for coming, but during his speech a large clipboard-paper-stand-thing fell on him and the curtains closed.
As we were all standing up to leave, my brother mike ( now his real age of 32), turned to me and said " wow Laur, I have never seen you so comfortable infront of an audience before..."
Then my brothers ( little again) got told they had won a toy.. it was a preschool style car battery with buttons on top, and wheels.... There was a very destinct theme song for the toy... and the commerical advertisement which appeared infront of us involved the capture of whales, and damming rivers in northern quebec... from a birds eye view of our self destructing planet and the car battery song chimed through the whole thing gleefully.
I woke up singing it, realised i had never heard the song before, and immediately forgot it.
so strange...
