I've had some very strange dreams involving Lindsey, and most of them also involve the song Eyes of the World.
In one of them I went to a Fleetwood Mac concert and found out that my seat was onstage! I was so surprised. So I go onstage and find a Turner Model 1 guitar next to my seat, and it's plugged into the amp and everything. So the concert starts and I start playing along with the Chain, and after it's over Lindsey goes up to me and asks me to get off the stage. I stay on anyway, and play along with Dreams and after Dreams is over he tells me to get offstage again. I ignore him again. Then, during Eyes of the World, I am playing along with it when he suddenly breaks a string during the solo. I continue playing, and the band continues playing since they don't notice. After Eyes of the World ends, Lindsey comes up to me and says, "You saved the show, you can stay on." Then I get off the stage.
In another one I am playing in a band with Lindsey, and we are rockin' it out. Then I ask him if we can play Eyes of the World, and he starts up What's the World Coming To. After that ends, I ask him again, and he goes into World Turning, complete with that drum solo. After that ends, I ask him again, and he starts Man of the World. After that ends, I ask him again, and he says, "I can't think of anymore songs with the word 'world' in them!"
In another dream I go to a FM concert, and after it ends I go up to the stage and ask him to sign my SD-1 (in real life I use a BD-2, if any of you care), and he signs it, and then I tell him I was also at the Philly 5/19 concert (which I was) and then he says, "No, you mean you will be, today is May 15!" Then suddenly I am onstage and a recording of Eyes of the World (SYW tour version) starts and I start singing along with it. During the second chorus, I move away from the mic and ask Lindsey if I can use his guitar. He gives it to me, and I start playing along, and then suddenly it fades out. I go, "What's going on here?" and a technician goes, "It's not working. Tell you what, I'll do another song. Which one do you want?" And I request GYOW. I start playing, then everything fades into blackness and I wake up.
In another dream I went to a FM concert and after it was over I went backstage and started talking to Lindsey. I saw all of his pedals, and none of them exist in real life! The only one I remember is that for overdrive he used an Ibanez Blues Driver (which is impossible since the only pedal Ibanez makes is the tube screamer and Blues Driver is a registered t.m. of Boss). So then I go home and find Carlos and Neale hanging out at my house, and I ask them what position the capo is at for GYOw, and they start arguing about it. So then I go into my backyard and Lindsey is there, practicing his licks, and he gives me (how many? I don't remember) tickets to the next concert. So I go to the concert and get there really early, and they invite me to jam with the band. We play Eyes of the World, with me doing Lindsey's part. Then when we get to the actual concert, the first 2 songs go perfectly. Then during Eyes of the World, Lindsey isn't playing a thing, yet the sound is still coming out. What happened was they recorded my part when I was jamming with the band and played it along with the song. No one else in the crowd seems to notice. Then when we get to GYOW, I am right in front of Lindsey, and during the solo I try to grab his guitar and we start fighting over it. I win and get upstage and play a solo, and the crowd is going wild. Lindsey signals at me to keep playing through the big solo and I am playing the most amazing solo I ever played in my life. Then I go backstage for the rest of the show, but when they get to Don't Stop, Brett decides that he doesn't want to play! So he gets off the bench and I get on, and then I start playing along with it, and just before the piano solo everything fades into blackness and I woke up.
In yet another I went to a FM concert but got there really late, just before they started Gold Dust Woman. So John McVie goes up to me while he's playing, and I try to play his bass, and he gives it to me. I play throughout the song, but completely forget the bass solo in the middle of it, so I make something up. Then after GDW is over John tells me to go onstage, and says Lindsey will give me a guitar to play. So I go onstage and realize that my shoes are untied! Lindsey doesn't seem to notice, and he gives me a guitar (I remember it was the Gibson Les Paul Special Faded Double Cutaway, TV Yellow), and says that they're doing I'm So Afraid, and to play along. Then I try to tie my shoes but can't for some odd reason. Then I woke up.
Another time I dreamt that I there was a FM rehearsal in this really weird place that was like a maze, and I went and couldn't find my way to the rehearsal room. Then I heard a faint sound from somewhere, so I decided to follow the sound. I finally tracked them down and when I got in there Lindsey was trying to modify the pickup on his guitar!
I've had more, but don't remember them all.
