".....the funny thing about this dream is that I don't particularly like and know the Killing Me Softly song, but I know exactly what he is talking about when he says, "Sing that one song!" It just goes to stand by the theory that in your dreams, everything makes sense."  Jake Yanes

.....I'm sitting in a large music store in a plaza somewhere. It is filled with people sitting against the walls as if listening to someone speak. There isn't much space in the middle, but there are a few who are walking through. 

As I'm sitting there, I realize that at the far end there are some people standing around a P.A. system and talking into microphones. Then I notice that the music I hear coming from the store speakers is actually someone singing into a mic near the P..A. There's no music, just his voice. I have no idea what he is singing, but it ends soon and someone else gets on the mic. 

"That was great. Lets give a hand for _______"(I don't remember the name). "Now we need another contestant so who is next?" 

That's when I realize that I'm in the middle of some singing contest. And as I wonder who is next, a black guy with dreadlocks across the lane, points his finger at me and sais, "Hey Jake! You go bro! Sing that one song!" 

Knowing exactly what song he is talking about, I rip into Killing Me Softly without any hesitation. After the first verse, the whole store errupts into the chorus and all of the sudden I'm leading the whole place in song. 

And we continue the song until I wake up.......
