David Bowie's green egg

Date: 9/5/2024

Long and vivid dream about David Bowie... Wow Concert, blowing a kiss to him in the audience near the end of a show, him noticing and signalling at me, being whisked away by some assistants and told I'm "Chosen" but there's a bunch of other people there. The "Chosen" people were divided into groups based on colour, I was given something called a "green egg" but there were others who got orange egg, blue egg and so on. I wasn't sure what was going on but I was vaguely aware I might get to meet David. It felt like the late 70s. Anyway, I waited with a bunch of other people. I gazed out the window. The concert was over and I was brought to someone's bedroom and allowed to crash there with another girl. It was confirmed to me that at around 3-4am I would get to meet David Bowie and I was wondering what it would be like... I knew he must be exhausted after the show. But I also knew that he had some kind special reason for singling out the people he did. Something caught his eye, one way or another, and he wanted to get to know his fans. Anyway, this room I was staying in was like a 90s time capsule. There were VHS tapes from popular films and shows arranged in rows on the shelves. There were posters of bands and artists, and of course Bowie. Someone had mentioned about "green egg" to me and how it meant I'd be placed in a room where "music was about music" so the owner of this room came in and put on a record. It was music about music. Some 70s band singing a song about another musician. I told this person about what a gem their room is. So cozy. I said I'd give up everything I have to get her room and she was kind of speechless. Anyway, there were two beds there, I took the one on the right. A pretty girl came in, my to-be roommate and another one of "the Chosen", we immediately clicked and started talking. She told me about some life drama that happened to her that day, and how Bowie choosing her was a blessing because of the emotional pain she was in. I guessed whether her boyfriend cheated on her and guessed right... We spent time bonding and I hugged her. Eventually we were called. It was time to meet David Bowie, they said. I didn't know what to expect but I was apprehensive. Apparently in the dream I was barely legal and I was essentially by myself. I love David Bowie but I was still a bit wary and I didn't like his assistants that much, but they seemed to treat me like I was special. Green egg was a special type of Chosen. Myself and this girl get brought to a beach where David has changed his clothes/costume etc. And is lounging on a chair overlooking the sea. The beach is actually packed and busy, though no one seems to notice. He's wearing sunglasses, loose summer clothing and is successfully blending in. He's smoking a cigarette and next to him is a tall and serious looking woman, if I didn't know better I'd say she was his manager or something. She had an air of authority. I can't remember what David said, but I do remember being a bit starstruck and finding him very handsome. His hair was a dark copper and silky and shiny. I wondered what he was thinking, what his intentions were. I just wanted to hang out with him and my new friend, but the serious talk lady gave us some tasks to do first. She told us to run around the beach. It was an odd request but we did as we were told. It was difficult and awkward to run on the beach because of the way the sand was. We kept running around until we got to the sea and I was starting to get annoyed. I came here to meet David, not to be ordered around and humiliated while we were being watched. So I said, "screw it" and decided not to submit to orders, even if it might look bad and ruin my chance of hanging out with David in person. I thought if he's the kind of person that gets a kick out of this, then it's not worth it. I told as much to my friend, who was relieved I said it, and agreed to ignore the tall lady as well. Nothing happened so we shrugged and decided to hang out with each other instead. She told me more about her life while going for a swim. After some time of playing around we felt attracted to each other. I caught a glimpse of David and the tall woman, they were talking to each other, clearly about us. The tall woman approaches us and calls my friend up. She goes but I realise she's actually dismissed. It was then I realised it was some kind of unspoken test. She had failed. But now I get to finally talk to David - without the tall lady or being ordered around. I remember the whole awkward experience took away from the awe and wonder I first felt for David. Now I wasn't so impressed, and he was just another person to me, though in my head I knew who he was, I didn't let his influence shrink me to a bumbling mess or anything. Apparently that's exactly what he wanted, what he was looking for. To be with someone like a normal person, an equal. He immediately became my friend, and even took me in his arms and carried me off to a sheltered area. We had tea and chatted a bit. He asked me a question, something geopolitical. I guessed Japan, and though I was wrong, he was still impressed, and complimented me on my knowledge. He told me about Korea and his thoughts and feelings on it and what he experienced when he was there. While he was talking I looked at him and I was drawn into his eyes, which were an aqua sort of colour and quite unusual (of course). I totally felt like I was on a date with David Bowie and that's why he picked me from the crowd and put me through this test, and why "green egg" is a special type. Then I consciously ended the dream because I have shit to do irl, sorry David.
