Jason Becker - Metaphysical Messenger Of The Divine.



So, I Had This Dream The Other Night...
I Just Can't Stop Thinking About It So I Should Probably Share It With Myself Here.

I'm Fairly Sure That It Was Inspired By Actual Events.
In My Waking Life I Have Just Achieved A Degree Of Success With A Drum Program That Has Enabled Me To FINALLY Have An Outlet To Be Musically Creative Unaided.
I'm Pretty Stoked About That.

My Dream Was This:
I've Just Arrived At Jason Becker's House & I'm Visiting Him & His Dad Gary. - (Not Sure Why His Mum Wasn't There?) -
Gary & I Greet Each Other Casually & He Brings Me In To See Jason.
I Remember Feeling Apprehensive About What I'm Going To Say, & What The Polite Etiquette Is, For Starting A Conversation With Someone Who Can't Respond?
As I Approach His Wheelchair I See A Slight Change In His Eyes That Seems To Make His Entire Face Smile.
My Anxiety Is Depleting With Every Step Closer To Him.
I Stop At What I Think Is A Polite Distance Away,..
Not Too Far Away That I Make Him Feel Like He's Contagious & Not So Close That I'm In His Immediate Space.
As I Say 'Hi Jason!' ... He Raises His Arm Up For A Hug.
I Lean In & Suddenly Realize He 'Shouldnt' Be Able To Move.
"Hey!... You Can Move Your Ar..."
As His Arm Went Around My Neck, It Brought Me Closer To Him & The Temples Of Our Heads Touched.
The Very Moment The Sides Of Our Heads Made Contact I Was Immediately Struck With A Seizure.
It Felt Like I Was Painlessly Hit By A Truck, With The Sensation Of Going A Million Miles An Hour.
There Were Lights Flashing & Intense Colours Kaleidoscoping Across Each Other,
But The Thing That Captivated Me The Most Was This Incredible Music.
It Was As If A Billion Instruments Were All Playing In Unison, Yet Each Directly Accommodating & Facilitating Each Other.
Bursting Arpeggios At Lightning Speed, With Waves Of Counterpointing Melodies All Cascading Over Each Other, In Perfect, Impossible Harmony
I Gradually Became Aware Of My Sleeping Body,... Twitching & Writhing In Something Of A 'Soul-Gasm'
I Woke Up With Tears In My Eyes & A Better Understanding Of What God Is.
