How many times
« on: August 22, 2011, 05:57:20 PM »
How many times per day do you think about DT?

During the last period Dream Theater takes the biggest part of my thoughts stream... :biggrin:

Only when I'm listening to DT or Liquid Tension Experiment, really, or when I'm on this site. I don't just randomly think about DT during the day. Though in the week or two before the release of the album, I'll find myself longing for it.

When I'm on this forum (obviously).

Also when I'm work I usually think about all kinds of stuff, whether it be personal things, art/music related things, upcoming events/releases. So DT pops into my head here and there during that time at work.

DT is probably one of the most common subjects in my stream of consciousness, especially recently.

Whenever I am in class, and have nothing to do, I try to play DT songs in my head.

Well I listen to them every day, I come on this forum every day and I sing parts from their songs most days as well (even when not listening to them) :blush

Anticipation for the new album doesn't help either  ;D

How many times a day do I think about DT? What an odd question. As I'm currently spending all day working for them, probably a lot? :lol

Yep. I think the only party in the MP/DT situation that hasn't moved on is DTF.

:o I wasn't aware you had that job. That's awesome!

I think about them when I'm on here or listening to them, sometimes when going to sleep, mostly in anticipation of the new album. When not thinking about other, erm, personal life stuff.

When I'm awake, Dream Theater basically takes up most of my mind. Like one giant progressive-style stream of consciousness. A stream of consciousness that ends where it begins. That is, with Dream Theater.
When wait for sleep, I feel surrounded by thoughts that seem to pull me under the cover of sleep. I hope I can take the time to relax until another day.
Every morning when I wake up at 6:00, I just lie there. My dreams are all about Dream Theater. They are shadows in a previously light and care-free dream. As I get up, those shadows get lifted off my dreams. That is, until I look in the mirror. My face is scarred with the stress of waiting for this album. I try to say that it's you not me, but when you're looking in the mirror, "you" is "me". It's all the same
The anticipation for this album is burning in my soul. I want something or someone to take away this pain so I can breathe. Only the album release can do that.
To say the least, I'm a little desperate.
As I sit in my home, I regress to a pit of despair. One last dance of thoughts in my head. A dance about Dream Theater but... this one will last forever, or so it seems. Someday I'll finally be free. That is, free of this terrible anticipation. Of the album. I hope you aren't misunderstanding me.
I try to take my mind off of any of this, but anything is never enough. Heck, everything is never enough. It's just perpetual movements. Constant, one might say. Also, you could replace "movements" with "motion". You could.
I just hope the album comes out before the leaves have fallen. You know, before the season changes. That is... before autumn. Which will happen.

all the time. seriously. I am obsessed.
I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

Oh I saw what you did there.

Honestly, most of the discussions I find interesting here are on the General Discussion forum.

Maybe if DT released more music more regularly, there'd be more to talk about.  :neverusethis:
