I wanna be a Rockstar baby!


So...a couple nights ago I had a very interesting dream. I dreamed that Guns 'N Roses were coming to town to perform. As part of their visit to Salt Lake City, they were also putting on a special concert for Wells Fargo employees who had won a contest. The only caviat to the contest was that it was at 5am. Axl Rose decided that he didn't want to sing at 5am, so he called me and asked me if I would fill in for him. Of course, I accepted. The only condition was that it had to be a secret that it was me, I had to dress, act, and sing just like him so that nobody knew it was really me. I got all dressed up, got into character, went out on stage and totally pulled it off. Nobody knew it was me wearing that red bandana singing "Sweet Child of Mine".


The next morning, I woke up with a smile on my face thinking about how funny I am that I had such a dream. Later that day, I was sitting with a client in my office when "Sweet Child of Mine" started playing over the radio. He stopped our conversation and told me how much he liked that song. I immediately started laughing and told him about my dream the night before. When I finished, he proceeded to interpret the dream for me. He thinks that it means that I feel like I am not being recognized at my job for good work that I am doing, like I am in a disguise or something. I was surprised at his interpretation since I just thought it meant that I had a deep rooted desire to be a rockstar.


I wonder if I should tell him that a few nights later I had a dream that it finally came out that I am the one who really wrote the song "Pour Some Sugar On Me" and that Def Leppard has totally ripped me off!
