05 Dec 02 - 08:53 AM (#841290) Subject: I dreamed I saw John Lennon last night From: Donuel Last night John Lennon, Bob Marley, Jimmy Hendrix and Bob Dylan jammed together in my dream. This is what they said: 300 years ago Arabs sold the slaves. Africa divided white man reaped da gold. W is a traitor a rich man we are told. Whats he done for people? They're lied to, killed and sold. Brother against brother Is what the Man counts on When we're all together All his power's gone Love your child and free em To reap what they can sow If you want your freedom Its all in what you know They say Raggea's done Hip Hop thinks it flows fulla hate and short on fun The singers come and go Gangsta rappers boast still none outrun the gun Our songs are sung by ghosts like ice out in the sun US rules, Africa fades Half of Cape town now dies of Aids buried in da ground. AIDS slaves in their graves Don't know who put them down. Don't know who made the virus Don't know who wears the crown Hands that move against you to put you on a slab invents a brand new flu deep within a lab You've got to tell your neighbor There is a message we must send... Brother against brother Is what the Man counts on When we are together All his power's gone Freedom needs compassion not jail for smokin herb When freedom is rationed Your life becomes absurd We are not the infidel We are not the enemy We are just the people We are you, you are me. We all want to be free. __________________________ don hakman c.2002 |

05 Dec 02 - 02:02 PM (#841615) Subject: RE: I dreamed I saw John Lennon last night From: Ebbie My dreams last night were considerably more mundane. Dreamt that some little kids were packing some live chickens into a box- when they put the rooster in, the kid slammed down the lid and of course the rooster leaped out. I showed them how to cajole the rooster into holding still as I eased down the lid. I learn so much from my dreams... All I have to do now is find some chickens. Or- horrors! am I that Machivellian? |

I dreamed I saw Lennon last night Alive as you and me I said but John your 10 years dead But not my songs said he But not my songs said he In New York city John I says As you were going along He shot you on the street that day Says John but not my songs Says John but not my songs That wannabe he killed you John He shot you, as a sign His fame he wanted to secure Says John Just Imagine Says John Just Imagine And standing there he looked at me In his shambolic stance Takes more than guns to kill a man We should give Peace a chance We should give Peace a chance Lennon aint dead he says to me I ve'e been here all along Where Peace and Music side by side Exist you'll find my song Exist you'll find my song Around the world at Peace marches In village and in town Where anti war protests are heard They'll claim me for their own They'll claim me for their own I dreamed I saw Lennon last night Alive as you and me I said but John your 10 years dead But not my songs said he But not my songs said he |

I can't write what Bob Dylan sings on the "dream plane" since his singing voice is more or less an audio version of a doctor's handwritting. |

09 Dec 02 - 02:14 PM (#843975) Subject: RE: I dreamed I saw John Lennon last night From: Ebbie "What the hell?" I agree- woke up this morning having dreamt that I was in the process of giving in to pleadings to take home a small nanny goat (she was black and tan and a little overweight, for those who don't remember their dream details). The problem was that I had already taken in three chickens, one of them a rooster (There's those chickens again!), and a rabbit. I had only a fairly big backyard, and had no idea how I would go about accommodating the whole menagerie. Think I'd rather dream about Lennon. |

He and Yoko were playing together at some concert and later on I spoke with Lennon and said I love him and he said I love you too! Hahaha. I've also had a dream of Billy Shears once and he was at my old high school working on a painting. |
