Author Topic: I Had The Weirdest Dream... Steve Kraus Film God Posts: 4094 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 06-24-2004 01:46 PM                    I was in a platter booth (that makes it a nightmare, right?) and the film taking up was covered with dirt clumps, and fuzzballs and scrapings like it was being mangled. Then I woke up. I only rarely remember dreams which is just as well by me. But it's very disconcerting to think I'd be dreaming of projection...and platters at that...instead of, say, Jen and her guitar. At least I'd rather go back to dreaming of trains.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 06-24-2004 01:55 PM                     quote: Steve Kraus I was in a platter booth (that makes it a nightmare, right?) That all depends. What kind of platters were they?  |  IP: Logged Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 06-24-2004 02:09 PM                     Steve It sounds like you were in the Loew's/Cineplex Beverly Center in Los Angeles. Because thats always the way I picture it when I did preview screenings there.  |  IP: Logged Jennifer Pan THE JEN!

I'll defend platters to the death because as long as I'm the projectionist, things go smoothly. Sorry to get off subject; guitars are cool. I like them better than projectors, actually.  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Fuentes Mmmm, Dr. Pepper!

For a couple weeks, I'd have these recurring dreams of driving to that theater, unlocking the doors, going to the booth and building all the prints for the "opening." It wouldn't always be the same way, though. These dreams were progressive. The first few, the theater looked as it did now -- empty and closed. Later on, as I drove up to the theater in subsequent dreams, the sign was up. Then there were posters in the cases. I remember one where I walked by the concession counter on the way to the booth, and it was stocked.... I think I know what these dreams mean. Who wants to help me open this thing?????? =TMP=  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Fuentes Mmmm, Dr. Pepper!

But Arizona? Too far to worry about...  |  IP: Logged Christopher Seo Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 530 From: Los Angeles, CA Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-29-2004 02:20 PM                     I think changeover dreams are scarier. I had a dream where I started R-1, and then realized I only had one projector and had to set up another one before it was time to make the changeover.  |  IP: Logged
