Dreamtime U2

[Meghan]

(Inspired by the 'Bono Dream' post in PLEBA)

Time to share all the 'real' dreams you've had about U2 -- Not fantasies, sleepy-time dreams.

Here's mine:
I live in a small town with virtually no U2 fans. In my dreams, U2 keep coming to perform here. I go, and there's a pretty big crowd at first, but after a song or two, everyone leaves except me. Then the band realises almost everyone's gone, so they leave.
I go backstage and meet them (individually, not as a group) -- Edge was about to get changed, so he told me to piss off. I asked Larry if he liked Australia. He said, 'No, 'cos we don't seem to have any fans here.'
I don't remember what Bono or Adam said.

Your turn! (Not too dirty please! )

I had a U2 dream years ago that I've never forgotten.

I was at a U2 concert (no idea where), JT era, in a major stadium. I was walking throught the crowd; everyone in the audience was standing about four feet apart. They were moving, singing along, waving arms, etc., but they didn't crush, push, rush, very strange, very dreamy; the stage was to my right, it seemed huge. All the lights were blue. The song was 'Exit'; I could hear every note, every measure--my dreaming brain was playing back a perfect recording of the Rattle and Hum version (which struck me as seriously cool when I woke up, that the brain can do that ). And the music was louder than the crowd--I could barely hear the shouting of the people, like they were a mile or two away, when I was right next to them.

I continued walking through the crowd, approaching the stage at an angle, until I looked up into blue lights, and there he was--vest, hair, sweat, blue eyes, and he was looking at me. Then he went roaming the stage like usual.

(At this point the song changed to Bad, same clarity of mental playback.)

After a verse or two, he jumped down off the stage, and started walking through the crowd--and they still didn't move. I was the only one who turned and followed him. They didn't even turn to watch him going; they were all staring at the stage. He was just strolling around, singing.

I caught up to him, and reached out my hand to touch his hair----and I @#&%$##$ WOKE UP!! Well, damn.

But, anyway, it was a very interesting dream; the thing that kept coming back to me was the complete clarity of the music. It was like I was actually hearing it again, not like I was remembering.

The closest I've come to dreaming about them was very disappointing. I dreamed I was singing a U2 song and the only lyrics I could recall when I awoke were, "east of omaha". Then someone told me that wasn't a U2 song, it was a Bob Seger song. So not only am I unlucky in life, but unlucky in my dreams as well.

I had this dream once. Even before i was a fan.
U2 had a crash or something like that, and i saved their liveswink:, yeah it's...). Super-me, ha? As i had a sympathy then, i asked Bono to make the prettiest love song ever, and to dedicate it to her. I also said that i want to tour with them(free tix and all) and with that girl. Bono said, ok about the song, but tour... Then i saw guitar(Edge's guitar) and played "One" perfectly for the first time in my life( i don't know how to play it) and Edge said, and i will quote:
"If you play guitar like that you can tour with us, you must tour with us."
Larry said hell o no, so i played Acrobat on drums.
Adam was coll and all but i played Mofo on bass so he was happy.
So i went touring with them. By the time we came in Zagreb again, this song became the biggest hit in the history, bigger than Like a Rolling Stone. On every show, Bono said story about making this song. So i lived happily ever after with my girl.

Now when i'm a fan i always dream about beeing in Sarajevo on that day when PopMart tour was there

Ok, this is not a happy one.
I dreamed not too long ago that Bono was very depressed and had committed suicide in some very dark ruins (kind of like a cellar or something) and that people could come visit his grave that was set up at the place where he did it.
After everyone left, I was the only one there and I looked at his body and all of a sudden he started telling me why he did it
