The Musical Hybrid Exhibit

**Dreamed: September 24/25th, 2018.**
**Dreamer: Vendellium**
In my dream last night I was standing in a wooden room. There was no metal here, only wood. The room was about 40 feet long, 20 feet high and 12 feet in width. Along the width dimension two large protrusions were built into the room itself, benches on which to sit. In the room with me was an unknown stranger and a friend I have whom is a musician.

We were talking and he was smiling - then I exited by means of the room’s only door located through the benches on one wall, finding myself in another room.

This next room had white walls and floor which were illuminated through an unknown means. On the wall there were at *least* a hundred hybrid musical instruments of all shapes and temperaments, and an individual there I perceived to be the owner of this instrument store was explaining to me how the instruments worked.

He picked up what appeared to me to be an ordinary plastic water jug, which upon further examination had multiple red valves resembling very deeply corrugated spheres who could be depressed inside their respective holes but would pop up as soon as the player lifted their fingers.

The musical water jugs, minus the valving and holes which made them function in the dream.
He alternated between blowing through the bottleneck and explaining the instrumental pneumatics to me. Lastly he said something along the lines of “want to try?” and yes I did! So I gazed at the wall of musical instruments - abutted on either side by two more walls of brown with larger instruments on them, and saw the most fascinating instruments. There were what appeared to be double-necked ukuleles with strings crossing at angles not parallel to the fretboard, which were meant to be bowed. I saw hybrids of trumpets, violins, and guitars blended in a way that each instrument had a unique design and could only be mastered in a particular way. Each instrument was like a face in that all were similar but none alike. *These* instruments were one to one-and-a-half feet long.

A Stroh violin resembles some of the smaller instruments I saw in my dream.
On the brown walls abutting the large white wall there were large guitars but as with the smaller instruments these guitars were hybrids - not your average six string guitars!

This is easily something that may have been in my dream. It is a guitar-lyra hybrid.
Well, after seeing this all I excitedly ran back to my musician friend and told him “I understand! I understand how it all works now! This is amazing!” My musician friend smiled and my dream concluded.

**Notes and Observations**

* I keep getting ideas for musical instruments. In real life, in my dreams, everywhere really. Music is starting to come together in a way it never has for me before.
