Recurring Dream about playing the trumpet

For years and years, I've often dreamt that I play the trumpet, and I'm quite good at it (in the dream). In real life I have never, ever played the trumpet, honestly Guv'nor. I also smoke cigars (in the dream) - and I've dreamt that since I was way too young to think about smoking, or trumpet playing. Any ideas - am I trying to tell myself something??? No jokes about big cheeks please.

Perhaps you should just go and give a docker a blow-job and have done with it.

Even Freud said that sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. But I'm pretty sure that a trumpet is always a penis.

Amazing how the subconscious can be so unoriginal.

It could always just be a dream about a trumpet. Or a past life experience. Or maybe someone's whispering "trumpet... cigar..." into your ear as you sleep.

Hmm. I dunno. I think the trumpet's a fabulous instrument - and it's a very ancient one, too - associated with angels and the heralding of knights.

Cigars, on the other hand, literally stink.

I guess you could say that there's something ostentatious about both trumpet playing and cigar smoking - ?

You feel that you'd like to do something really impressive perhaps?

Or you do accomplish a great deal, but don't allow yourself to shine, as they say?

It's the trumpet playing cows you've got to watch out for, fat ones or thin ones. Trust me on this.

Were you a fan of Roy Castle on Record Breakers as a child? Possible hero/achievement subconscious affiliation?

You don't read jazz-mags before you go to sleep, do you?

I'm pretty sure that a trumpet is always a penis.

For my money it's more like a bumhole. From a purely Freudian perspective, of course.

A penis is like a bumhole?

Shit. Nurse!

I think you should climb into your, er, 'trumpet' costume and join the parade...

Wow. Can't say I've ever really taken Roy Castle very seriously. I like the bum hole idea though. Lips pursed then...

I think it's probably a parallel lives Jacob's Ladder kind of thing. But less crap.

Now I'd pay to see that. Jacob's Ladder, but with trumpet playing demons...

"I've been following you for a long time Jacob... I was involved in a special 'trumpet playing' operation in 'Nam... they had us doing all kinds of mad trumpet playing shit... man... I've never seen anything like it... chimps playing trumpets... then we tried it on the Gooks... man... errr... they really played those trumpets..."

I think it means you need to give someone a blow job.
