Surely she has worked her way into your subconscious enough to make a cameo at least?
I can't remember if I've had any Joanna dreams before, but last night I dreamed she was teaching me how to do that squeaky hiccup thing she does in "Colleen." ha, that's it. Don't think it has any meaning other than I just saw her 3 times, every time playing that song, and every time me wondering if I could even make that sound she does if I tried.
For the record, I haven't even tried.
Anyway, tell me your dreams! I love talking about dreams and hearing others' dreams, especially when they're funny and make no sense in a way that totally makes sense. Do you know what I mean?
I had a dream we hung out once, and I pretended I had no idea who she was. Then again, this is what I tell myself I would do in real life if I EVER encountered a musician I listened to (play dumb and become their friend).
I am a nerd who writes all my dreams in my livejournal. This is from July 20 of this year.
DREAM: I am watching a movie and I am simultaneously the main character in the movie, just living my life.
I learn that Joanna Newsom's album HAVE ONE ON ME is the soundtrack to the movie and was written for the movie. Suddenly all the songs and lyrics have new dimensions.
In the movie I am outside on the outskirts of the swamp at night, talking to my mother on the phone. She wants me to look for persimmi flowers, press them and mail them to her. I start looking around and describing the flowers I see, not knowing what I'm looking for (since irl they do not exist). I see a plant with pear-like fruits growing from the end of rhubarb-pink stalks. I see pink blowsy flowers on the ends of green stalks, and further in the swamp I see pale pink flabby-fleshed trumpet-shaped flowers (I vividly remember seeing a clod of dirt on one flower). As I go further into the swamp I see a fire burning. In my dream this is a common phenomenon--a cauldron of fire burning in the middle of the swamp, usually kept at bay by the dampness surrounding it. But I know if things dry out a little, the fire can spread. While still on the phone with my mom I tell her we have to put out the fire.
I suddenly understand that there is a whole new meaning to the song "Easy," which is the soundtrack piece as I see the fire: "Haven't you seen what I've seen? Don't you know what you ought to do?" It means that once you've seen the fire it's your duty to put it out.
I do a google image search for persimmi flowers and find pictures of a Greek Orthodox wedding where gathering those flowers was part of the ceremony. Then I am at a wedding and looking for my mother. Everyone is dancing to a cheesy dance song. Marilyn Monroe is there and she is dancing too.
In a voice-over I hear "It took my mother and me three days to put out that fire."

Once I dreamed that I went to see Joanna play in a big field somewhere. Instead of a stage, she played on a moon bounce and Paris and Nicky Hilton were there wearing gorilla masks.

I love when random celebrities are in my dreams. It makes everything 10x funnier.
aerinha-- you remember so much detail! I love when my dreams are so cinematic and I'm entertained just watching them. The google part made me laugh. I remember having a dream once, but not what happened exactly...just some kind of crisis...like a snake bite or something...and rather than calling 911 or going to the ER or anything, I googled what to do!
There was a time this spring when I dreamed about Joanna for many consecutive nights, I still do sometimes. She picked me up by bicycle once and I showed her around my hometown. That was pretty awesome.
Before HOOM on came out I dreamed I met her and we became friends so she gave me the lyrics to her next album and told me not to tell anyone but I had serious plans to come home and post it all on Milky Moon! (What a bad person I am.)
Last night I dreamt my sister and I had gone to a J.New gig, in a lecture theatre in my Physics building (but it was more like a planetarium. I guess one of my lecture theatres has a zodiac in the roof- which I always thought was stupid, shouldn't allow that kind of crap in a PHYSICS lecture theatre but there we go). But it was all muffled, and I was confused why we weren't sitting at the front. Then she played Sadie and left.
So, I wander down and ask my physics tutor why we weren't at the front, and he said our tickets weren't for there, then I realised that it wasn't a real gig and I had yet to see her again because the next gig was in Budapest and then I woke up relieved.
I had a dream where I went to this sort of charity benefit thing - very formal, black tie occasion - with my parents. The tables were arranged in concentric semicircles around a stage, where bands would be playing later. The bands were sitting at the first couple of rows of tables. Among the early acts were Rage Against the Machine and Streetlight Manifesto - you have never seen a bunch of fleshy, old, rich people rock out so hard: monocles and champagne flying everywhere. There were a bunch of people I know there from all over the place. I tried to get canapés but the waiter kept running away from me. Then Joanna came on and played a few songs, and when she sat down she sat in the row right in front of me and there was an empty space next to her, so I asked her if she minded if I took it and said hi. Then we talked for a while and watched the bands, but she was like, the third last act, and then my family insisted we leave. Since Streetlight Manifesto had only played one song, and since I'd met Joanna, I decided to go and look for their bus, so I ran off down a ramp and into this huge underground parking lot full of tour buses, lorries and forklift trucks carrying crates back and forth. At some point shortly after that I woke up.
Ugh! I know I dreamed about her last night, but I haven't had time to write my dreams down in the morning and my brain is so overstuffed with information and stimuli currently, there's just no room to remember these details. But it was a fairly awful dream, as I remember she was angry with me for some reason. Think I was trying to talk to her after a show and she was like "OMG I HATE YOU GO AWAY!" so obviously I was very sad and it was a really terrible dream. Probably good I can't remember details.
I was waiting at the trainstation, and noticed that Joanna was sitting not far away from me. While she was waiting for the train, Joanna started to sing a very happy and upbeat song all by herself. After listening for a while me and another woman decided to join in the singing. I think we sang the alt and the bass!
Then a train passed with all the tumult, and the other woman and I gave up singing. But during the noise of the passing train, Joanna continued to sing, on the top of her voice.
I had a kind of Joanna dream. I met Tomas Kalnoky and he was talking about 99 Songs of Revolution and mentioned that he was going to be doing some really weird covers, and later I was speaking about the other music I like and I mentioned Joanna Newsom and he said that I had a pleasant surprise in store on 99SOR, then, and I got excited. That's about it.
Don't you just hate it when you can do something awesome in a dream, and then you wake up and feel like you should be able to do it, but can't? I KNOW I can fly, and I KNOW I can walk through walls, just like you probably KNOW that you can sing beautifully. The problem is that my body, and yours, don't KNOW how to do the same things our minds do.
