the next I'm dreaming of seeing the world through the eyes of a hawk
that would be awesome! I often dream of flying myself, I enjoy it a lot while dreaming and I wake up extremely happy. It kinda makes up for the fact that I have a vertigo every time I go out on a +5 floor balcony. Horray for me! I live on the 7th floor

in my dreams it's as much about being able to see every little detail as it is about that feeling of absolute freedom, I always wake up smiling a kind of sad smile knowing I will never have that kind of sight and indeed knowing the little sight I have is going to abandon me at some unknown point in the future

well Murph I don't know what it is to be you nor I can pretend I do, but as we said earlier-you don't know what the consequences would be if things were different for you. It is great to have dreams like this cause at least we get to experience something we never will in reality, plus it is free and there is no risk involved :)

I had the most messed up nightmare last night, the catepillar from Alice In Wonderland rolled me up, stuck me in his pipe and smoked me then blew smoke rings that were actually tiny versions of my face screaming, scared the hell out of me seriously I'm surprised I didn't wake up screaming.

I once had a dream that I was Crash Bandicoot and that I was racing on a purple track. That's all I remember because it was a long time ago when I was in primary school. The other day I had a dream that I was driving around and saw a house in the middle of nowhere and I went inside and there was a murder investigation going on. The people who died were a family of three: a mother, a father and a child. Somehow I ended up outside and had to battle the dead child while the mother and father were hanging on meat hooks. So it was coming at me like zombie and for some other unknown reason I had no weapons so I had to punch it to its death. Safe to say I am kind of creeped out and I really remember the dream which is also kind of weird.

That's pretty awesome.

Wow, that's pretty creepy, I hardly remember dreams that well and they aren't usually that weird :/

I had a pretty brutal dream of some man following me and harassing me. I tried to call the police but they refused to believe me. He started overturning things in my house and taunting me. I tried to fight him but he was too strong. Somehow I managed to subdue him and started smashing his head into the tiles. My mother appeared with a gun and shot him in the face. The rest of the dream (which was quite lengthy) consisted of me scrubbing blood and muck off the walls and wondering where to dispose of the body.

That's no fun... I hardly ever remember my dreams, but I had a very vivid dream in college about some guy trying to attack my girlfriend. We were walking down the sidewalk next to a chainlink fence and he came up from behind us and tried to grab her shoulder, so I pushed him away, took hold of his head, and started grinding it into the fence, like the fence was some kind of cheese grater. I grated his entire head off down to the neck, but he was laughing at me the whole time until I got past his mouth. I could do without that one...

This is what I can remember from my dream last night. I was @ a death metal show. I'm singing along and so is everyone else. Not because we want to but because we have to. The lead singer of the band, while performing is also scouting the audience for his successor because @ the end of every show the singer has to kill himself and whom he picks has to do the next gig. I'm nervous because I don't want to be chosen but everyone else around me seems so eager to be picked. Well the show ends and the singer looks around and points to me. Everyone looks pissed and I'm already thinking of ways to get out of it, but I have to do it. So before the singer off's himself he grabs the mic and shouts "I had steak for dinner!" and shoots himself in the head. Everyone cheers. So I'm performing @ the next show, not wanting to pick anyone to replace me and wondering why these fools want to die. The show ends, and apparently it went very well because the crowd is cheering. I tell the band I have to pee. I go back stage and run out a back door. A few minutes later I hear the police approaching and now they're after me because what I did is a punishable crime. Then I woke up.

Mere' date=' that dream is actually pretty awesome! Good premise for a short story.[/quote'] It would be interesting. I'm glad I remembered that one! Every once in a while I like to read about dream interpretations because some of mine have been really bizarre. I suppose sometimes they have no meaning and are just strange.

    • Whichever tier of thrash metal you consigned Sacred Reich back in the 80's/90's they still had their moments.  "Ignorance" & "Surf Nicaragura" did a great job of establishing the band, whereas "The American Way" just got a little to comfortable and accessible (the title track grates nowadays) for my ears.  A couple more records better left forgotten about and then nothing for twenty three years.  2019 alone has now seen three releases from Phil Rind and co.  A live EP, a split EP with Iron Reagan and now a full length.

      Notable addition to the ranks for the current throng of releases is former Machine Head sticksman, Dave McClean.  Love or hate Machine Head, McClean is a more than capable drummer and his presence here is felt from the off with the opening and title track kicking things off with some real gusto.  'Divide & Conquer' and 'Salvation' muddle along nicely, never quite reaching any quality that would make my balls tingle but comfortable enough.  The looming build to 'Manifest Reality' delivers a real punch when the song starts proper.  Frenzied riffs and drums with shots of lead work to hold the interest.


      There's a problem already though (I know, I am such a fucking mood hoover).  I don't like Phil's vocals.  I never had if I am being honest.  The aggression to them seems a little forced even when they are at their best on tracks like 'Manifest Reality'.  When he tries to sing it just feels weak though ('Salvation') and tracks lose real punch.  Give him a riffy number such as 'Killing Machine' and he is fine with the Reich engine (probably a poor choice of phrase) up in sixth gear.  For every thrashy riff there's a fair share of rock edged, local bar act rhythm aplenty too.

      Let's not poo-poo proceedings though, because overall I actually enjoy "Awakening".  It is stacked full of catchy riffs that are sticky on the old ears.  Whilst not as raw as perhaps the - brilliant - artwork suggests with its black and white, tattoo flash sheet style design it is enjoyable enough.  Yes, 'Death Valley' & 'Something to Believe' have no place here, saved only by Arnett and Radziwill's lead work but 'Revolution' is a fucking 80's thrash heyday throwback to the extent that if you turn the TV on during it you might catch a new episode of Cheers!

    • Full length number 19 from overkill certainly makes a splash in the energy stakes, I mean there's some modern thrash bands that are a good two decades younger than Overkill who can only hope to achieve the levels of spunk that New Jersey's finest produce here.  That in itself is an achievement, for a band of Overkill's stature and reputation to be able to still sound relevant four decades into their career is no mean feat.  Even in the albums weaker moments it never gets redundant and the energy levels remain high.  There's a real sense of a band in a state of some renewed vigour, helped in no small part by the addition of Jason Bittner on drums.  The former Flotsam & Jetsam skinsman is nothing short of superb throughout "The Wings of War" and seems to have squeezed a little extra out of the rest of his peers.

      The album kicks of with a great build to opening track "Last Man Standing" and for the first 4 tracks of the album the Overkill crew stomp, bash and groove their way to a solid level of consistency.  The lead work is of particular note and Blitz sounds as sneery and scathing as ever.  The album is well produced and mixed too with all parts of the thrash machine audible as the five piece hammer away at your skull with the usual blend of chugging riffs and infectious anthems.  


      There are weak moments as mentioned but they are more a victim of how good the strong tracks are.  In it's own right "Distortion" is a solid enough - if not slightly varied a journey from the last offering - but it just doesn't stand up well against a "Bat Shit Crazy" or a "Head of a Pin".  As the album draws to a close you get the increasing impression that the last few tracks are rescued really by some great solos and stomping skin work which is a shame because trimming of a couple of tracks may have made this less obvious. 

      4/5
