These are dreams that members of the *raow* family and friends have had concerning Zed. We are strange, strange people.
Rae’s first dream
In this dream I went to a barbeque at Andy’s parents house with my parents and grandparents. Somehow they all knew each other but I didn’t know Andy. Any way all of Zed were there but we weren’t sitting with them or talking to them (why? I have no idea!) anyway I stayed the night there and in Andy’s room at that, no he wasn’t there, I was sleeping by myself. The next morning when we went home I discovered that Megs had stolen Andy’s recordable walkman so that she could hear all of the songs or tunes that he records on there. So I was having a big argument with her because Andy knew I had stayed in his room and would think that I stole it.
Rae’s second dream
I had this dream the night before Ben’s birthday when Megan and I had put up his Happy Birthday message on the page. In this dream I was at the shopping mall on Ben's birthday and Zed were there. Who knows why they were out in Manukau on Ben's birthday but anyway. Ben came over and told me he was really angry that we had called him ‘Benny Sammy Cammy’. I told him I was really sorry and offered to take it down for him.
Megs' Dream
My dream was one that everyone
reacts the same to. They scream. But not at me, at Rae, and
at her utterly ridiculous behavior in it!
It starts off, Rae and I
are sitting in my Grandparents’ lounge, and we decide it’d be pretty cool
(don’t know why!) to write Ben a letter.
One thing you’ll have to
remember, is that in this dream, the NZ postal service is shit hot and
can send a letter to anywhere in NZ within an hour (don’t ask…)
So Rae writes this really long letter to Ben, and 2 hours later, we get a reply: a really long letter from Ben. Ben and Rae exchange about 3 letters within the day and in Ben’s 3rd letter to Rae, he declares his undying love for her, and sends us 5 tickets to a Zed concert in Christchurch (for Rae, me, Saz, Aims and Laura I’m guessing…), 2 tickets to a huge Zed concert over seas (?!) and keys to a motel room in Paihia (where Rae and I are going this New Years to see Zed) w/ a note attached saying "I’m going to be there from now on. *nudge nudge wink wink*" And stupid Rae sent the keys back saying "Megs and I aren’t going up to Paihia until late December, thanks anyway".
But I didn’t care, cause I still had Andy’s recordable walkman.
Fran's Dream
Here we are at the Supertop for the Blink concert, and Zed is performing.
‘ITS MY BIRTHDAY!’ Ben proudly announces to all the screaming fans. Each time he says it you can hear the excitement building in his voice. At the same time my excitement is growing too, in my pocket I have backstage passes for me and my friends to meet Blink, Zed and Tadpole after the show. What we’re all looking forward to though is meeting those wonderful zed boys.
The adrenalin pumping through out the whole concert, the time finally arrives. We make our way backstage. We’re led down a corridor and shown to a room where Blink have Zed and Tadpole tied up and are torturing them! Ben is still saying ‘its my birthday!’ but with each word, and each lashing from Blink, his voice gets more tired and huffed.
Through a whirl of unknown,
Zed, my friends and I end up atop of a cliff.
In what appears to be a
major temper tantrum, Ben jumps up and down screaming ‘ITS MY BIRTHDAY!
ITS MY BIRTHDAY!!’ obviously very distressed and not enjoying his birthday
at all.
(uhm, ok the dream stops there coz megan rang)
okay, Fran told Megan and
I about this dream on the bus on the way into Auckland on the day of the
Zed concert and we were cracking up laughing and all these people were
looking at us cos we kept saying to each other 'Its my birthday!!'.
Then Fran told Megan how it ended cos Megs had rung her. And Megan's like,
"Why did I ring you if I was on the cliff, wasn't I on the cliff? Why did
i have a phone on the cliff? Did you have a phone on the cliff?
Why didn't i just talk to you if we were both on the cliff? I don't
get it" And we had to explain to Megan that she rung Fran's house, and
woken her. She ain't the sharpest pin on the magnet.
Fran's second dream
My parents had moved to Aussie so Megan was flatting with me. Megan's dad took us to the hotpools but we didn't have any togs so we had to go shopping. We each got a set of togs with boardies and then went home. Yes - we never swam! When we got home Ben was there but he wasn't in Zed, he was just our flatmate and he was watching TV and eating popcorn. Megan's boyfriend was also there, he was the guy from Coyote Ugly. Anyway while we were watching TV Ben decides to have a party and Zed, Blink and Tadpole were all there.
Aimee's Dream
I was at the Blink 182 concert
dancing out in the crowd when I ran into Ben. Then he said something
along the lines of 'What's in the bag?'. So I opened my bag and in
there was my 'Ben' folder with all of my Zed memrobillia!!
Sarah's first Dream
Nathan and the E-Zebra left a message on my answerphone. Then suddenly we were at a Zed concert and it was PACKED and the stage was covered in flour and they started playing at the back on a platform amidst screaming teenyboppers and everyone had to turn around.
Sarah's second Dream
Zed were doing a signing
at a bookstore in a rural town but Nathan had to leave early because he
had to teach cooking classes at the local church.
Lani's Dreams
The first dream
I was friends with Zed, and we all went to school together. Anyway, during class we all got into trouble and got given detention after school. We ditched, and egged the principal's car. Then we took off to New Brighton beach (in Christchurch) and we all jumped off the pier.
The second dream
Zed were shooting a music video, and they were doing a remake of Nirvana's "In Bloom", and they all came out wearing dresses. Scene change...all of a sudden, I was sitting in this weird garden, and the only flowers there were daisies (how convinient! LoL) and they were like, jumbo sized. Nathan then appeared, bouncing around on one of those moon-hopper things. The rest of the guys arrived on scooters and they all started singing Oh Daisy. Then, this huge crowd appeared out of nowhere and the scene changed to a concert, but Nathan was still bouncing around onstage on the moon-hopper. Ben got angry because he didn't have a moon-hopper, so he stole Nathan's one and jumped into the crowd with it. Yet another scene change, this time it was to a classroom at Cashmere High (I used to go there) and coz we were late (I can't remember which one it was), we had to sing in front of the whole class.
The third dream
Note: This IS a dream, and it's the best one I have had in a VERY long time. LoL. But it has a very tragic ending.
I was interviewing Zed on TV, and we were talking about all that normal stuff (touring, the album etc etc) and then I asked if any of them were attached. They all answered seperately. It went from oldest to youngest. Both Adrian & Nathan said yes, while Andy & Ben said no. I asked Nathan who his girlfriend was and he smiled *THAT* smile and said it was me! Scene change to this really beautiful garden, where me and Nathan were having our wedding pictures taken. Then the photographer wanted us to kiss for the camera, I turned to face him and then MY MUM WOKE ME UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I almost cried!!!! LoL.
Julia's Dream
I had just walked through
this door very quietly because there was some
sort of speech going on
in this room. I shut the door behind me and
restedwith my back on the
door. I looked up, and sitting there on a seat right
in front of me was all four
Zed boys. I looked at them each, one by one, deep
into the eyes. I was so
in awe and shocked. But as I looked into all of
their eyes, I noticed they
all had brown eyes! Then it ended.
Another of Rae's dreams
Zed redid the Renegade Fighter video for release overseas. However for the filming of it, Nathan had grown his hair long and it was in pigtails *lol*. He looked like Dave Grohl did on the 'big me' video.
Tamara's dream
I had this dream at Easter
Camp. And anyone who has been, know's that
anything can happen there.
Anyway,
I was just walking around
the campsite with my friend Amanda when out of nowhere Zed just pop up.
They asked if we wanted to join them for some food, and of course we agreed.
You know in dreams when you get transported from one place to another?
Well the next thing I knew new were in this fancy cafe` place talking in
those really sarcastic voices that you find in 70's tv adds. We were talking
about our day and everyone had really cheesy grins.
The waiter came over with
a big tray of mushrooms (don't ask) and asked if we ordered it. Ben said
( still smiling and talking funny) "No because we
don't like mushrooms" and
everyone laughed. "Ha ha ha ha ha" Then I was wicket-keeping for the Clear
Black Caps at Jade Stadium with the spectators yelling how much I was a
loser. That was it. I don't think I need to carry on with the cricket
dream, because Zed weren't in it =( .
Hera's Dream
I was sitting in bed reading a magazine, and I was reading an article (I can't remember what it was). I closed the mag (which turned out to be Rolling Stone) and Zed were on the cover! They were all wearing really tight black pants and black shirts and Nathan's hair was pink.
Logan's Dream
I had a dream once, It was weird, Zed were there as well as all you girls, so I killed all you girls cause I was jealous, and Zed and I went off and we played at Madison Square Gardens in New York and it was cool.
(Please note peoples, Logan actually knows us, he's not killing off random people in his dreams)
Jenni's Dreams
dream one:
we (my form) were on school
camp (at school for some reason) and nathan was taking us for cooking in
the woodworks room, when the bell rang, before i could leave tho my p.e.
teacher gave me a bag with her washing in it, telling me to read the note
inside when i got home. so i went home and did her washing, although while
i was putting out her washing i noticed some 'guys' clothing in the mix,
not taking n e notice of it i went inside and picked up the note to read....it
said something along the lines of: heres mine and zed's washing, plz do
it, zed will be round to pick it up and 3, thanx jh. starting to panick
coz i reaslised that it was five to three and i hadn't got the washing
in or anything, i quickly rushed out the washing line and grabbed the washing
in, ran inside and had just finished putting it in the dryer when the door
rang. i rushed to the door and opened it and there were all four zed dudes
on my front step. i invited them in and told them that their washing wasn't
finished yet, they said that was fine and sat down, then i offered them
some just juice....all of them had some except andy who wanted raro. so
i got that for them and then went to check on the washing. finding that
it was finished i took it out of the dryer and put it on my parents bed
- ready to be folded - and called the guys in to claim their washing. all
four of them trouped in and as i folded their washing one of them would
claim it. after doing the overclothes, it got to the point where i had
to fold their underwear (joy of joys!), picking up a silky red pair of
boxers i asked who they were, nath claimed them. next i picked up some
pooh bear ones, belonging to andy, then i picked up some plain green 'y
fronts', adrians, and finally i picked up a pair of classy white and grey
calvin kleins, i held them up and asked whos they were, ben started blushing,
and meekly replied "those ultra sexy calvin kleins belong to me".and then
i woke up. damn damn damn!
dream two:
basically for this one i
was waiting outside in the que for summerjam (welli), i was at the front
of the que and zed walked up to me and told me to come with them, so i
followed (obviously). they took my inside to this really big brown room
and made me sit on this huge couch, so i was sitting there while zed went
out of the room, after about 5 mins nath came back in and sat down beside
me, we were sitting there for about 10 mins making chit chat, when all
of a sudden he turned to face me and admitted his undying love for me,
and then started hugging and kissing me, strangly though, i pushed him
off, and ran to the other side of the room, he chased after me, and wrapped
me in a bear hug, to which i couldn't escape. so i just stood there screaming
in his face "i dont love you, i don't love you!". then ben ran in, looked
at nathan, and shouted: "wot the fuck do you think your doing", "nothing"
(nathan) "my arse your doing nothing" (ben) "get off me" (me) "how could
you do this to me nath, i thought we were friends" (ben) "we are, but i
can't do n e thing about this" (nath) "yea u can, let go of me" (me) "no!"
(nath) "let go of her you jackarse" (ben) and then ben punched nathan,
missing me by an inch, nath let go and fell to the floor, ben grabbed me,
and dragged me out of the room screaming "quick, faster, we've gotta get
out of here", "why" i asked, and then just as ben was about to tell me
my dad woke me up!
dream three:
i'll keep this one short:
basically me and my friends were travelling around the country in those
new vw beetles, when we met up with nath, and some of his friends, after
driving around for a while we stopped by this big hill, got out of the
cars, and just started hanging round, i was just talking to nath when he
pulled out this poster thing to show me, but b4 he could open it, i grabbed
it off him, and ran away, he started chasing me screaming, "give it back,
give it back, plz give it back", finally he caught up to me, dragged me
to the ground and looked me directly in the eye and said " plz give it
back to me jenni" so i said " sing me a song and i will" so he started
singing a really sweet, slow love song - i have no idea wot it was - and
then my dream turned mute for some reason, so i just sat there looking
deep into his eyes....but for some screwed up reason they were blue!, i
can't remember the rest of the dream though.
