Do you dream about records?

In my dream I'm at the back counter downstairs at the now-defunct Music Exchange in KC in front of their massive shelves of 78s and 45s. For some reason I'm asking for a copy of Apache.. (a little disappointing that this is the only record I'm looking for). My girl is with me... she doesn't know Apache so the guy behind the counter describes it to her as "about the same tempo as the Numbers Song by DJ Shadow" (wtf?). So I proceed to hum / beatbox the tune to her.. she gives me a "ok-you-can-stop-now" look thinly veiled as recognition and I wake up.Post your record-dream raers...

my girl and i were just talkin about this the other day. yeah , i've had it a few times. "man, i've nevvvvvvver
seen (insert favorite label here) before!" specially when you seen all the cover art, labels, etc. maybe we need a help group.
ps- y'all ever listen to dream records?
gyeah....
keep dreamin'
Your breasts look small.
Same here.
I once dreamed that I was living in New York [Why NYC? I don't know] and there was a record store on every corner street. I was looking for a job in one of 'em.
YES ! thank you, the worst is flippin through a dream record and find "the braek" like damn, i needa flip that, then, boom, you're awake.
I bought a little iriver that sits by the bed for humming shit out into. Some of my best work has come out of half sleep.
I'll be thinking when I wake up "wow that was a great song in my dream..." and then it will dawn on me that the song doesn't exist, and my brain made it, and it's a mad scramble to get individual parts down.
PS- listening to yourself sleepily hum out horn parts later is pretty funny.
Still losing our vinyl virginity, are we?
I didn't start dreaming about records until I saw this damn thread. Now I wake up thinking I was at a thrift pulling stupid raers like it was no big deal.
i have dreams that im in a record store and that i find a bunch of records and the store is closing and stuff like that.
i mostly dream about my mpc though.
i dream about cutting up samples and then i wake up and i feel inspired to make some beats.
i love it when you wake up and its like you just been on a adventure.
one thing though
i dont know about yall but sometimes i try to have sex with my girl when were asleep.
i guess i try getting with her while im dreaming and start dry humpin her .i know it sounds crazy but she wakes up and kicks me till i stop and roll over.
not all the time but every now and then, its weird.
