Will I Dream?

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

This thread is all about any dreams you have had involving The Sisters. I've started it because I had a strange one last night.

Sisters gig, God knows where. Eldritch is late but eventually turns up, sort of blonde hair/white bikers phase, with his son! His son keeps his eyes closed, doesn't want to look at any of us. Sort of chubby cheeked but characteristically thin-lipped. Von introduces his son to us all, walking through the audience, minus shades.

I know the Eldritch/son thing comes from Far Cry 6, which I've been playing a lot recently. It had exactly that vibe.

Oh, and I got chucked out because I was eating some kind of stew, which was forbidden in the venue.

Here's one I prepared earlier: https://www.vostoklake.org/node/47 . I've had similar dreams about playing with my other favourite bands and screwing it up.

I dreamt I went to a Sisters gig in a church. The section in front of the stage was flooded and there were model ships there fighting naval battles while the band played. It was very distracting.

I don't really know what for.

I've quite often dreamt that I'm trying to get to Sisters gig.... but a lot of frustrating obstacles stop me (no buses, lost ticket etc). A stress dream I think.

My Sisters dream is a recurring one... I walk into a record store, and unexpectedly there is a new Sisters album! Each time is a different store/album but they are usually quite vivid.

I've been having this one now (about every couple of years) since Vision Thing came out in 1990. Sadly the last time I went into HMV it was mostly full of bobbleheads and games; not so much music :-(

Never had a TSOM dream until you posted this, but then...

I was at a house party, early evening, lots of random people that I didn't know. It was in a large walled compound that I understood to belong to Eldritch. There was a rock band performing on a raised stage in a lounge/bar area. Not what I would have expected at an Eldritch party: some generic millennial locals playing a mix of covers and forgettable original material. The kind of band you might hire on a moderate budget for a corporate team building function. I was not impressed. Spotted Eldritch (balding contemporary version) near the back of the crowd and he didn't look impressed either. I tried to engage him about it but he didn't want to be bothered so I moved on. Got a drink at the bar. They only had annoyingly colourful cocktails. I decided to leave the music area and explore the compound. It consisted of a wide variety buildings, lots of brutalist concrete, sporadically lighted away from the concert venue. Near the back I peered through a window and observed a large warehouse or garage. Lots of tooling and material visible. Eldritch was nearby again and I expressed admiration for his workshop. He was more willing to engage on this topic and volunteered that his large fleet of veteran cars were also stored here. I wondered off again. The party eventually subsided. Word went around that leaving the compound was a bad idea for some reason so a general search for spots to crash began. Eldritch didn't look especially pleased at everyone turning out various buildings in the compound but he didn't stop it, except to stipulate that one particular tower was off limits. Most areas were largely dusty and full of junk but places were found for everyone. I wasn't especially drunk or tired so I stood alone in a courtyard and watched the sky start to lighten.

I dreamt that my favourite band in the world ever, The Sisters Of Mercy, who are to my ears and heart what nuclear fusion is to starlight, only ever recorded and released 3 studio albums proper, a concept album and 2 greatest hits albums, and despite gradually diminshing promises from God, not one single record for 30 years. What a f**king nightmare eh? Good job its not real... :evil:
Well I was handsome and I was strong
And I knew the words to every song.
"Did my singing please you?"
"No! The words you sang were wrong!"

:bat:
