40 Day Dream

"Well I been sleepin' for 40 days
I know I'm sleepin' cos this dream's too amazing
She's got gold doorknobs where her eyes used to be
One turn and I learn what it really means to see...

Hey I been sleepin' for 60 days
Nobody better pinch me, I swear I'd go crazy

She's got jumper cable lips
She's got sunset on her breath
I inhaled just a little bit
Now I got no fear of death now..."
-40 Day Dream, Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros

A little background information on the group--

Lucky for us, he also makes great music! The band is planning for a second album in the near future, as well as solo projects from both Alexander (aka Edward Sharpe) and Jade.

Paul McCartney's Top 10 Dream

Did you know that Paul McCartney created one of the world's most famous songs, "Yesterday," in a dream? It's true! He awoke with the melody in his head, wrote it out immediately, and played it for various people, certain that he must have heard it somewhere before, that it was someone else's song. 

But no matter who he played the song for, they told him they had never heard it before. He wrote out some lyrics, (originally "Scrambled eggs, oh my baby how I love your legs") recorded it, and now the song is world-famous!

How's that for a good dream!? 

Paul performs the song here:

Can You Put a Price on Your Dreams?: The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus

The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus: a very dreamy film, dealing with imagination and, what else but dreams themselves! The Imaginarium is a creation, a mobile unit belonging to the title character (Dr. Parnassus) in which one enters literally the world of his or her imagination, a waking-dream, if you will... It is dangerous to bring your plus one with you, however, for two simultaneous imaginations creates competition and... well, we all dream alone normally anyway...

This brief scene, featuring the beginning of Tony's (Heath Ledger) speech in which he attempts to persuade audience members to donate money to the crew members and enter the Imaginarium; it demonstrates the perception that the experience of dreaming offers priceless benefits.
