Wags and I had a piano duel to see who is the best improviser.

I'm helping Jerry Goldsmith with a score for something. Actually, Carol Goldsmith is doing the orchestration, so I'm just there in the room, doing the score in Braille, so I'm not much help, really.

But suddenly, I have to leave! I left the water running in a bubble bath in the ocean!

Last night I dreamed I'd spent the evening hosting a big party for famous Williamses.

As it was all wrapping up and people were going home, I was congratulating myself on having more-or-less kept up comedy-banter-wise with Robin (yeah, I know, that's dreams for ya).

Then John approached on his way out and, by way of thanks, asked whether I'd like a signed pre-release CD of Ep. IX as soon as there is one. Of course I said yes, and he asked me to just note down my address so he can mail it on. I then spent the rest of the dream hunting down a blank piece of paper, but all I could find was bits with rubbish already scribbled on them. Eventually I broke open a brand-new ream of multicoloured art paper, but the surface was oddly too waxy to take my pen. Grrr!

Cool dream, dtw. We not only share a similar taste in terms of soundtracks played (pr. the "Now Playing" threads), but also in terms of Williams-related dreams. I've had a few, and they're all in this thread.

It also occurs to me that this might be the oldest thread in the entire messageboard, since I copy/pasted in things from January-2000 in a new October-2000 thread, when the current format of the board was introduced. So it actually pre-dates this particular version of the messageboard.

It's a fantastic thread, by the way, if you haven't read it. I urge everyone to pour themselves a cup of coffee (or stronger beverages), sit back and read through it all.

Oh, and dtw, I also noticed this bit from a dream I recounted on the first page, 12 years ago:

"This is my chance", I thought, "now I can talk to him alone and get his autograph". However, I realized I didnĀ“t have a blank piece of paper. All around me was paper on the floor, but my co-stars had "scribbled them to death". I started running for paper - out in the streets...I even started FLYING at one point, but NO paper anywhere. I landed in the middle of a road and cars were crashing around me. Then I woke up...."

Wow, seems like that is a more common dream motif than I'd thought.

About a week ago I dreamed something about Jerry Goldsmith and eggplants. I can't remember more than that.

This weekend, I dreamed that Henry Mancini visited my dad and I at one of my old apartments. I thought it was odd because I thought he was dead.

I was also annoyed that I couldn't get his autograph on The New Henry Mancini Songbook, because I hadn't bought it yet. (And this might be my last chance, since he's dead! smile )

Elliot Goldenthal noticed an infection my nose and told me to come visit him at his office. Yes, he's a doctor also!

When I was in high school, I had a dream I was in concert band rehearsal -- and Elmer Bernstein was conducting us.

Then he got on my case, and that of a friend of mine (also a soundtrack collector) for talking during rehearsal.

Jerry Goldsmith and I spent an afternoon together, and had an extended conversation (practically a Director's Cut version!).

All I can remember is organizing some small toys for him, for a questionnaire he was using.

I dreamt I got the soundtrack to an animated movie whose voice cast inncluded Gemma Arterton. The music was by Isobel Waller-Bridge.
I didn't like it...

I keep routinely meet John Williams and he is usually is a guest staying at relatives place. His demeanour is the same as in real life. I dont want to impress my film music nerdy geekiness on him ofcourse. So Iam saving the right time to get him to talk about film music and get my stuff signed by him.

Also I had a brief meeting with Bernard Herrmann in his UK based home. He spoke about his collbaorations and even used some four letters while addressing them. I even shared the details with Herrmann's daughter and she found them to be uncannily correct. LOL.

And then there was Alan Silvestri. I dreamt, I was talking to him on the phone and telling him how much I admired his work. He mentioned to me he was working on a new film called 'Macabre' (Which we now know as What lies Beneath) This was around the time he was scoring the new Zemekis film. Silvestri was telling me that he was NOT going to score it as a thriller/ suspense film but as a romantic love story. I was so taken aback by this revelation and so disappointed that I just hung up the phone on poor Al !!! big grin

Ha, ha. Good one, Amer.

I've had periodic film composer/film music dreams over the years (as chronicled in this thread), but it's been a long time since the last one now. I think because I have so many personal worries in my life at the moment, I get nightmares related to these instead, whereas film music dreams usually only pop up as a 'luxury', when I'm at more ease in life. It's all classic Freud, of course, my subconscious treating my real-life traumas in dreams.

I just saw one of those "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee" episodes with Jerry Seinfeld, where he (or was it Ricky Gervais?) speaking about how he hates to hear people tell about their dreams. As much as I love Jerry and Ricky, I couldn't possibly disagree more. I find it endlessly fascinating to hear about people's dreams.

I had another weird dream in which I'd made a movie and arrived at the scoring session, but instead of Trevor Jones (who I'd expected to be there) I was greeted by Mick Jagger.

So I went appopleptic -- "I don't wand this rock 'n roll hack scoring my film! Where's Trevor Jones???"
