The Dream Aspect
Diving deeper, one can’t help but reflect on the significance of dreams, much like the exhilarating prospect of attending a Dream Theater concert. As defined by the Merriam-Webster dictionary, a „dream“ entails a series of thoughts, images, or emotions occurring during sleep, often characterized by a sense of beauty or wonder. Merriam-Webster elaborates that dreams can mirror personal experiences and emotions, much like the intricate narratives presented in Dream Theater’s music.
Interestingly, humans generally spend about two hours of each night dreaming, with each dream lasting around 5 to 20 minutes. The study of dreams, or oneirology, is steeped in history and varies greatly across cultures. From ancient civilizations interpreting dreams as messages from the divine to contemporary theories suggesting they play a role in memory consolidation or emotional processing, the concept of dreaming holds profound significance, similar to how music influences our lives.
In this light, Jordan Rudess and his bandmates channel the essence of dreaming into their music. Their upcoming tour serves as a reminder of how art can evoke emotions, dreams, and aspirations. Just as we embark on our nightly adventures in dreams, attending a Dream Theater concert can transport fans to a universe rich in sound, storytelling, and experience.
The upcoming Parasomnia tour is set to not only deliver unforgettable performances but to also tap into the universal qualities of dreams that resonate deeply within us all. Perhaps that’s what makes attending live music such a dream for many—it’s an experience that stays with you long after the final note has been struck.
