This is a true story of a dream I had. I'm a huge Stones fan
and have admired Keith Richards, for a long time, The man is
a very smart and wise person, and seems like he'd be a great
person to just sit and talk to. So, I guess you could say I
sort of idolize him.
I don't know what brought this dream on, but it was a dream, unlike most others I have, dreams usually have no real story or make any sense, but every once in a while you get to live a fantasy through one.
I dreamed that I'm at a Stones show in a large auditorium, but only in my dream I'm being treated as if I'm someone famous, being led back stage along with my wife, and in my dream I'm not surprised by the way we're being treated and I'm not star struck backstage when the Stones come up to my wife and me to say hello and Keith gives me a brotherly hung as if I'm family or his best friend or something, I mean their really happy to see me and the wife.
It was so real, so they are introduced and the crowd goes crazy and as their heading for the stage Keith turns around and says "Come on mate, joins us for a few on stage", and instead of feeling like you know ."I'm not worthy" I calmly say "What song are you opening with?" He says "Little Queenie."
I'm handed a guitar, Keith lights two cigarettes and puts one of them in my mouth, and the other in his, winks, smiles and says "Let's go" and I go. What is truly amazing about this dream, I didn't wake up at that point, like you usually do when something great or bad is about to happen for you or to you.
All of the sudden I'm on stage playing guitar with the Stones standing next to Keith Richards and I'm actually playing the guitar, which is also amazing because, I don't play guitar.
We finish the one song, the crowd goes nuts, And Keith steps to the mic and says "And now my mate Bradley, going to sing one for ya."
And then I woke up.
I laid in bed for the longest time, smiling, because the dream was so real, that even when I was awake it felt like something that I really had done. It was really cool.
