D10N MCGREG0R - DREAMS AG41N (1999)

Confounding recordings of McGregor narrating his dreams out loud in his sleep. Frightening and fascinating. Overheard sleep-talking by his roommate in the early 60s, McGregor allowed his friend to tape many of his sleeps over a few years. The earliest--and tamest--were released by Decca in 1964. These recordings here include bawdy ramblings and outright nightmares...ones that wake him up screaming. An essential research document of the dreaming process in action. Also, a vital lesson in story-telling. Here an entire narrative develops through a kind of dramatic dialogue where only one side of a two-sided conversation is actually delivered. Simply amazing.

Dream again...
