Re: One More Purple Dream
I had a dream about 10 years ago (before I even got into DP) about Ian Gillan. I was on a lovely deserted beach with white sands and as I walked along it I became aware of IG sitting cross legged on the sand looking out to sea. I went up to him feeling very confused as to why he was in my dream and I asked him what he was doing there he replied that he was waiting for his wife I said Oh and walked off, still wondering why he was there!

Re: One More Purple Dream
It was New Years eve 1996-1997. My wife and I were spending the day in a little artsy town along the Delaware River in Pennsylvania. We stopped to have lunch at our favorite Inn in New Hope where we also park for the day to shop.
After a nice lunch we are walking through the lobby towards the door. Suddenly a very familiar sillhouette appears in the doorway. Since it is light out I cannot see his face as he walks towards me with three other sillhouettes in tow. Suddenly I get a quick glimpse of his face as they make a right into the pub area. I turn to the wife and shout "hhhooolllleeeeyyyy shhiiiiittttt..It's Ritchie Blackmore". My wife, not paying attention to the entourage says no way it's Ritchie Blackmore. I walk to the entrance to the pub, and gasping for air, see the back of him only and the wife still doesn't believe me and heads for the lobby exit to the parking lot. Ritchie then takes one of the entourage and ducks outside to the same parking lot through a side door. I'm still not sure what I have seen at this point until I hear his girlfriend yell to him "don't forget your boots Ritchie". Now I'm quite sure who it is and humbly ask the blonde anyway "Is that Ritchie Blackmore". She flashes one of the most beautiful smiles and says yes it is. She reaches out her hand and introduces herself as Candy. Now I know who she is because I had met her many years before at a Deep Purple concert in NJ. This was before she was with Ritchie and she acknowledges that she seems to remember me from somewhere. Later I also realize that shes the one in the sleeve for SIUA and looked familiar to me when I saw that.
I ask if she thinks it would be OK if I stayed around to talk to Ritchie and she says that he would be delighted to talk to me. After some small talk and questions about his new medieval project, to which she tells me she is helping him with, I start to get a little antsy and excuse myself to find Ritchie in the parking lot. When I duck out the side door I see my wife standing there in disbelief and she points to the other end of the lot where I see Ritchie with his personal assistant Rob unloading the trunk of Ritchies red Mercedes with the license plate "Minstral". I turn into a man possessed and start walking towards them and they get a deer in the headlights look about them not knowing my intentions. But I did sport an ear to ear Kool Aid smile as I approached them. I reach out my hand and shake Ritchies as he introduces me to Rob. I start asking him about his new project entitled "Medieval Moons and Gypsy Dances" and he seems very pleased that I'm excited about his new direction and continues with the conversation leading to the reason for him being there. He was there because the Inn is haunted and he's staying the night (I, having the same interest in haunted places already knew this). I finally get up the courage to ask for his autograph on the back of a shopping list. Really stupid because my car was parked so close to his and all I needed to do was pull some DP or Rainbow CD's from it for signing and to prove my worship for all things Blackmore to him. After several minutes we shake hands again and he thanks me as we walk towards the entrance where my wife is standing with Candice now. Candice turns to my wife and says "how cute" referring to my hero worship of her hubby and we part ways.
Later that day as we were leaving I talked with the lot attendant, as I usually do about football, and he says that Ritchie goes there often and remarks about Ritchies $100,000 car.
A day I'll never forget.
So the point of this story is that sometimes..as Dorothy sings ..."dreams really do come true"

Re: One More Purple Dream
I dreamt last night that, someone on the forum paid me to kill Trollprincess. I tried to run her over but it didn't go to plan, I ended up being thrown off a cliff by her bodyguard.
Sorry Trollprincess for trying to kill you.

Re: One More Purple Dream
Appropriate topic this, because I just got up and I was having a Purple dream. I often have rock and roll dreams, my most recurring one is that I'm at a Glenn Hughes concert or something. Anyway I was at the Purple show, and Ian threw a piece of clothing that I caught, then Paice threw a drumstick, which I proceeded to pick up the pieces off the floor. Then the dream ended.
