"...so please hand me the bottle, I think I'm lonely now - and please give me direction, I think the hurt set in..."


MB20 Dreams:

Here is a directory of when each dream was recorded and who the leading matchstick was, (this way, you can skip over the ones that you've already read):

12/2/00

[I had a dream last night that] I was searching for Paul Doucette. He had disappeared and was in hiding, but I remembered him telling me where he was hiding. I went through all these rooms, checking under beds and rows of movie seats. Colleen [my sister] kept wanting to go along, but I told her that Paul probably didn't want the company right then. But I did let the rest of the band follow me, though later I thought it a mistake.
We found this hidden back room with old, filthy mattresses everywhere and figured that was where Paul had been sleeping. There were milkbones all over the floor, which grossed out the band, (that Paul had been eating them). But I told the band that it was really no big deal, that milkbones weren't really bad to eat.

Can't remember much else. We just kept looking and finding him running from us.

1/23/01

I had a dream last night about matchbox twenty…I was having a meal with them at a restaurant. Kyle was the prominent member of my dream. I got in some kind of an argument with him, peeved him in some way. I remember the others being there, but he was the most…vivid, as much as I despise that word. We were at a white table with black paint on the sides, as I recall. Rounded corners, but rectangular. Just enough for six people, three on each side, none on the end. Benches, not individual seats. And Kyle was across from me. I'm remembering him with his hands up, elbows on the table, angry. But why? But I felt "like the jester when the music die[d]". I don't remember anybody but Kyle and me uttering a word…

Another thing I remember is that I felt comfortable with the five of them, like it wasn't unusual to dine with them. It may have been night time. I know that the restaurant was on the small side.

2/10/01

Last night, I dreamed that I was at a matchbox twenty concert. The strange thing was that there were very few people there. At the end of the concert, the house lights came on while the band was still on stage. Rob jumped off the stage and began walking through the auditorium to meet people.

I was in the second or third row, (the building had theatre seating throughout). Rob walked through the row behind me, which was empty. He said hi to my mother, who was with me for some strange reason, then he said hi to me. I extended my arm, wanting him to shake my hand. And he did.

We talked for a few minutes. I remember not wanting to scream and yell and be an obnoxious fan. Rob did look at me a few times during the conversation like I was a fruit, though I can't recall specifically why. Basically, I was just asking him how he was doing, how the tour was going, things like that.

When I woke up, my cat Mulder was right under my chin, and my roommate's cat Scully was curled up by my knees. They were being incredible cute, but I was still disappointed that the dream hadn't been true.

3/2/01

Last night, I dreamed I was in an infirmary. Some of the workers were commenting that Rob Thomas was there. I looked into the back. At first, I didn't see him. Then I saw him hobbling around on crutches. He was really clumsy on them at first, but then he was really getting around the place fast.

He came out to where I was standing. There were other people gathering, but he kept coming back to talk to me. And he was smiling.

Then he and the other matchsticks ended up going home with me. I was talking to the other matchsticks too, who seemed impressed that I knew their names.

Then Rob got mean. He was hanging around with some girls in the kitchen, (the duplex was set up only a little differently than it really looks. The hallway seemed longer, and the kitchen a little bigger). Rob approached me again, (by then, his crutches had disappeared), and was looking at my hair. He was saying how discusting it was, claiming there were chunks of fingernail clippings in it. He scrunched up his nose at it. Then he laughed. The girls with him laughed, and he went off with them.

I stayed in the Zen room. Paul was in a chair against the wall, as was Pookie. Kyle, for some reason, wasn't even there. Instead, there was a girl whom I was assuming was from matchbox twenty. Paul, Pookie, and I guess female Kyle seemed to like me. Adam was avoiding me. He came out from the kitchen every once in a while, to look at me funny.

Later Kyle was actually himself, and he, Paul, and Pookie were getting tired. They started falling asleep when a country singer's tour bus came for them. I was following them out to it, trying to make peace with Rob and Adam and to really let them know how much I appreciate their music. Rob and Adam only looked incredibly annoyed.

The tour bus doors closed, but I managed to push them open, squeeze through to say goodbye. There were a whole bunch of other people in the bus talking and laughing when I told the matchsticks that I love them and that their music is the best.

It was a crazy, upsetting dream. Before this, I dreamed I was looking through a curtain in a virtually empty lobby of this nice place. I saw Sarah Michelle Gellar sitting back there, and she looked right at me. I backed out, but she invited me back there with her. And we were talking.

Another thing about Rob in my dream. When I went into the kitchen, and he had made fun of my hair, I told him I had washed it that morning, and he gave me this yeah, right look and returned to the girls. Pookie and Paul really seemed to like me, so I don't understand why Rob and Adam were so revolted by me.

Oh, and before I got off the tour bus at the end of the dream, I yelled "matchbox twenty rocks!" about three times. Everyone on the bus just stared at me.

It's really upsetting though that Rob didn't like me in the dream and even made fun of me. It was bad enough that he and Adam didn't want anything to do with me. But for Rob to mock me, especially in front of those girls?

Before I went to sleep last night, I was actually thinking how I wanted a matchbox twenty dream. But that one?


3/16/01

Bear in mind, this was the night after the matchbox twenty concert in Worcester, where I met Paul. In my dream, I met Rob. I was about to approach him but asked my sister to please take a picture of me with him. Rob hugged me when I came near. I glanced at my sister and saw that she was turned around, looking somewhere else. I asked her again to take the picture, and she got her camera ready. By then, there were other people in between me and Rob, and my sister couldn't get us both in the same shot.

Also in the same dream, (but I'm not sure when), Rob was commenting on my shirt. I was wearing my grey T-shirt that has a cartoon lion on it and says Leo. He asked me what it was. I said it was a lion for Leo, since that's my sign. He asked why, and I had no idea how to answer him, or what exactly he was questioning.


4/5/01

In my dream last night, Adam was the only matchstick present. He was dating my sister Colleen, (in my dream, not in real life). Then, when he found out that she wants to have children, he took off. I don't remember who they were, but there were a whole bunch of people standing around, saying that Adam feared commitment. I had other dreams last night. This one is the only one I can remember, and that's all I can recall from it.


4/13/01

I had a dream that I went looking for my fourth grade teacher, Miss Catalano. Apparently, she wasn’t teaching at the same school where she’d been ten years ago. I found her at a new school. The school day was over, and the buzzer just kept ringing. I tried to shut it off, but I realised that I was actually just pressing buttons on the intercom system.

I found Miss Catalano in her classroom and said hi to her. She was really busy, so I just put my bags down, (I had tons of bags, for some reason). I waited until she looked up. She didn’t recognise me, so I said I’d been in her class ten years ago, but it was when she was at another school. Usually, she’s really glad when her former students visit; it didn’t appear to be the case this time. She seemed really tired but asked what I had been up to. After I told her, I asked how she had been. She said she was really busy, and that she had all this stuff to do to clean up the classroom before she could go home. I volunteered to help her and asked what I could do. She said that the blinds needed to be closed.

For some reason, Paul appeared right around then. He was running around the room, drawing the blinds closed. He was drinking from these two plastic things, one that held a coffee filter, one with a tea filter. There were fourth graders who were making out, and he scolded them for doing that at school. So, as he leapt over a couple on his way to close a set of blinds, they grabbed his legs. Paul fell. They took a neon pink bracelet, (80’s style), and stretched it so that it would wrap around his ankles twice. And the buzzer was still going off.

When I woke up, I realised that it was my alarm clock. It was only six minutes after the alarm was set to go off, meaning that most of the dream occurred during that time.
