Dream: Mic

I’m at a huge outdoor concert at night. And I mean, gigantic. The main stage is about 100 yards away, with thousands of people everywhere.

I’m at a bar to the side of the crowd, getting a drink, chatting with a few people. Someone convinces me to get on stage; it is ‘open mic’ time. I defer, but only in a token way. Finish my drink and go backstage....

When I come on stage lots of people yell although they have no idea who I am. Lots of boos too. The noise of that many voices stuns me. I raise the mic and say, ‘awww, shut the hell up' and there is laughter.
