Your musical dreams/nightmares.

Carrying on from the 'conductors' thread here is an opportunity to post your musical dreams and/or nightmares. For mine see the conductors thread.

Over the last month I have been dreaming a complete violin concerto and a complete piano concerto, cadenzas and all... too bad I can´t remember one single note of them.

That's a shame - maybe they will come back to you - hope so.

Even if they come back, I am a musical illiterate... 

EDIT: I am already at op. 20 day-dreaming. My latest is Three Bucharest Waltzes, for violin, clarinet and accordion, op. 20

I mean it seriouslly, I can hum them all right.

Thanks for opening the thread, vandermolen!  By the way, I would have woken out screaming if I had dreamt your compulsory ballroom dancing episode 

Here's mine, imported from the conductor thread:

Well, while we're at it, I once dreamt of being called out of the audience and being asked by no less than Wolfgang Wagner to step in at the last minute for an ailing bass as Klingsor in a perfomance of Parsifal in Bayreuth. I protested that I hadn't rehearsed and that I might forget the words in some sections, but to no avail. I was pushed onto the stage, and somehow got through the whole of Act 2 (fortunately, that's the only act the character appears in the opera)...

The awful thing is that shortly after that nightmare I attended a residential training weekend as part of a counsellor training held in a hotel in Bournemouth, England and, guess what, the 'encounter group' was held in the Ballroom 
One evening some of the others suggested an evening of 'ballroom dancing' - I backed away in horror and went straight to the hotel bar. One of my former colleagues at the school where I worked told me that he did indeed wake up screaming the day he started there.

Every once in a while I'll wake up with music that I've dreamed running through my head.  The trouble is, it's usually really bad; sappy or banal... Why can't I be like Stravinsky and dream up something like The Rite of Spring?!  I guess that's why I'm not Stravinsky.

I always wanted to have my home inside an opera house and see it all; machinist installing sets, rehersals where some of the young "figurants" come to flirt with the prima donnas, the stage directors talking nonsense, a soprano complaining of her dress not putting her body to her best, makup disasters.  Musicians replacing each others on other instruments, conductors trying to convince a tenor to keep time better.
And yes one evening, filling in for one of my favorite tenor with a voice as exquisite as Wunderlisch.
That would be pretty cool...

One of my musical nightmares would be to actually be forced to listen to Stockhausen. I can think of no greater aural torture than this aside from the rest of that Darmstadt group.
