what's the relationship between the demos on the purest feeling bootleg and the demos and remixes bootleg? i mean, was one set made before the other, or is it a mix?
and, seriously, i just had the second dream this week that i was at an imaginary NIN concert. in the first dream, trent did a signing afterward. in the one this morning, it was like a huge band in a place so small that the audience was just crowded around them . . . i'm blaming all of you ETSers.
Now I'm 0000
Yesterday I woke up really grumpy because I came this close to missing a show on the 2014 NA leg* thanks to a presale snafu. Ended up just buying a ticket at the box office — until I asked, no one even bothered to tell me tickets were available.Originally Posted by m15a
…And then I woke up, so I can’t tell you what the setlist was.
* According to my dream, it will be a theater tour.

I just had one too! I'll just say the concert ended when Trent came into the crowd and my mom talked to him about being pregnant with his baby.

I had a dream sometime in the last week where the 2014 NA tour was a theater-based one too, the show was at the main theater in my school (which does have many famous acts, at least one stand up comedian has filmed their live DVD there). Since I was (will be in 2014) an alum, I was able to get VIP-like tickets, and used that access to be up against the stage. For whatever reason, Trent reached out and grabbed my hand for a second during Reptile, which is the only song I remember recognizing (my NIN performance dreams are usually of non-existent songs).Yesterday I woke up really grumpy because I came this close to missing a show on the 2014 NA leg* thanks to a presale snafu.

So, 2014 theater tour is it!

Alright so NIN dream,
I was in a room I think, perhaps a bookstore in the evening, or someones home, and I saw a large bookshelf beside me. Atop one of the shelves was this one particular book that really stood out to me. Now, the booked looked to be about 5 or 6 feet tall in size, lol, which actually didn't strike me as strange because I wasn't conscious enough to be phased by that. But what caught my attention was the title. I think it said something on the lines of "The Bible to Pretty Hate Machine", or, "The Pretty Hate Machine Bible". The cover of the book was the same cover of the PHM album, and looking at it, I was very curious to see what was inside. I thought it would probably have been a collection of Pretty Hate Machine modeling photos, concert photos and random NIN content and perhaps essays and stuff. Sorry if that got you excited, because I don't actually open the book up haha.
Next to that book, there was another one that sort of went hand in hand with it. The book was black and the cover had a picture of Trent Reznor on it that looked kind of like the one in this attachment,

Not sure if that link will work...
Anyway, so that book was called something like "Pretty Hate Machine: Ribs" Damn, I wish I could remember the exact title for that one. It had ribs in it haha.
So to me, I saw that book and new that it was like a demo collection or photo album or something.
So anyway yeah, dreams are fascinating.

So I was dreaming I was sitting in a dark room just chilling beside a window with an ocean view, and I listened to the radio interview with Trent. In an honest and calm manner he was explaining his anger towards the banana and tropical fruit industry... lol wtf? He was claiming how the workers who processed and distributed bananas were slaves and that the whole industry was very corrupt. hahaha I didn't hear exactly that he said they were slaves but somehow he was sitting beside me so I leaned beside him and asked "so about the corruption... Are some of the workers slaves?" now looking like my dad, he replied to me in a whisper, "yeah that's what's been going on" or something like that.

Dreamt I was somewhere with friends and someone was flicking through radio. I told them to switch it back to the previous station cause I think they were playing a new NIN song. We were arguing if it was or wasnt, turned out it was... mid tempo with an odd time signature, hesitation marks electronics bu heavier, singing was melodic with some screams like PHM. Probably the only new material im going to hear before the end of 2016 lol.

So I often have Trent Reznor dreams these days. I had one last night where Trent was getting interviewed on MTV by a fan; kind of like a meet and greet thing where fans could pass around the mic and talk. Some young woman had the mic and asked some questions about a particular song. Trent gave his honest response and explained ideas, and then the girl replied with due respect and an enthused but serious expression "You've become an adaptable, reliable, feminist superstar." Then she continued to give more praise. what? lol!

I had a dream last night where I was seeing NIN but they were in my old high school's theater. They opened with 1,000,000 but the sound was fucked up so they said they would be right back after fixing it. It was like 3 hrs in dream time of just waiting for it to be fixed. Really strange dream. I woke up and went back to sleep and my next dream was just me cleaning the toilet.

Had another dream with Trent in it. I'm just gonna leave it at that......

I dreamt I was at a huge stadium sized arena gig last night and Trent let me sing a few songs along with Rob Sheridan. It was weird.

I just had another NIN-related dream, but the details escape me.

We should have a NIN dream thread. haha

Didn't there used to be a nin dreams thread? I had one recently where nin was playing a festival in Chicago at 930 in the morning. I had a dentist appointment at 10a in Chicago (my dentist is here in Atlanta) across from the venue. So I could see nin playing from the window of the waiting room. This wasn't good enough for me tho. I just kept running around and shushing people.
Now I'm 0000
I wouldn’t mind listening to someone play Wish on a dentist’s drill, now that I think of it.
Now I'm 0000
Last night I dreamed TR was doing something involved with … MySpace?
Yeesh.
Getting back to reality, it must make him feel good that things like MySpace have come and gone, and he’s still here. (“I surviiiiiiived everything…”)

Yet another goofy NIN dream. The "venue" was a really small room, the band was a mere few feet away in a little square area with a small lip surrounding then most of the way around. I was sitting on Trent"s right side, there wasn't many people there. Technical problems had him cursing up a storm and calling the behind the scenes guys names. Trent was kinda sitting at a desk with random shit on it and after the second song he angrily told those of us in front to grab whatever we wanted. I bolted up and took a CD but I must have grabbed a few more things he was still using cuz he came over to take them back. He offered to sign one of the CDs I had but was getting snippy cuz I was fumbling the stuff nervously. He started in with kind of a jokey skit song that sounded like Jingle Bell Rock and my aunt and uncle showed up for some reason, loudly saying hi to me. This caught Trent's attention and he came over to pin a necklace on my gf (still singing the cheesy loungey new year type song) and that's roughly when I woke up.

Yeah, this thread just happened. Deal with it.

Now that I think about it - I've never dreamt anything even remotely related to NIN or Trent Reznor. I guess that's more likely to happen if you're female.

Heh, 3 days ago I had a dream about the upcoming NIN show in Poland.
For some reason the concert was rescheduled to be in another Polish city - Poznan (NIN was there before in 2009). So in this dream I went to Poznan and I was waiting in the line. Then 60 minutes before the concert I realized that I forgot to take the NIN.com pre-sale ticket with me... and that's it. I awake. :-D

This is the type of fandom that every popular band has that really creeps me out. This one and band fanfiction.
Eck.

Because we are so obsessed we learned to control what we dream about.
Re Member
you do realize that short of lucid dreaming, folk don't actually program their dream content...so how is it creepy when one dreams of a band they like?
fanfiction, which one has control over, can definitely be seen as creepy.
nin/tr dreams: haven't had many in 20 years, lol, but back in my 20's i had tons of them. it was annoying at times. and, oddly, it was mostly fighting with tr.

Yeah I know EXACTLY why I dreamed of NIN that night. They were replaying the grammys on E! and I was gonna watch the performance again. I turned the channel and forgot. Then when I turned back it JUST ended. I shut the tv off and was out like a light almost immediately so NIN was the last thing I thought about.
I'm just mad TR was pissed at me.

I had a dream last night that my brother and I were at a NIN arena show. No defining characteristics to mark it as a specific tour; I just remember Ally and Robin being in the lineup. Must've been working too, because at one point we wandered back to catering for a few minutes during the set.
Even in my dreams, I'm a boring concert-goer.

I remember back when I got TDS and listened to it on repeat, I had some of the most brutal, vivid nightmares. One of them included Trent chasing me down a corridor with a hammer, yelling: "I'm gonna smash your head in!".
Good times.
Seriously, I miss those dreams. My dreams got kinda boring as of late.
Down, but not out.
This was perhaps from watching them a lot, or listening in the case of And All That Could Have Been (Live) as I didn't get the DVDs long after getting the CD, but as far as dreams went, I have dreamed about being in Closure and And All That Could Have Been (Live) only to wake up as soon as I realized, "No fucking way!"
I've also dreamed about being at Woodstock 1994, and the Head Like A Hole and Down In It music videos... which I'm also thankful for... as I don't want to end up in Happiness In Slavery or any part of the Broken video for that matter.

Had an awesome dream regarding the Greatest Hits release Interscope is making happen someday. As a kind of promotional item, you could buy a fucking beautiful art book that had everything from never before seen photographs (behind the scenes, interviews, etc) with making of info sectioned off for every album. It also had a bunch of art ideas (like Rob's wall of WT concept art photo) and interviews with the artists, which included detailed descriptions of how the art was made, etc. And this book was fucking big, like 11x14 and a good 1-2 hundred pages long. Super detailed, with lots of full-bleed images. Anyway, this book (bound in black leather with an embossed NIN logo) was being sold in stores, and when you bought it, it counted as a pre-order for the greatest hits album package. IT WAS AMAZING.
I just really love art, ok?
