That something is the life we lead. It burrows into your soul and never goes away. It attaches itself there, latching on, and even when you think you’ve escaped it, it’s still there. Most times this is a good thing. You will always look back on the times you’ve had, both good and bad (the bad days make the best stories!), and will have experiences that most people can’t even fathom. Treasure those moments and smile fondly when you do.
But, a PSA is not used for something that is good and happy. Now we get to the dark heart of the matter. When something gets inside you so fully, there is a darkness that goes with it.
It comes when you are sleeping, entering your subconscious, twisting itself until visions fill your head. Maybe it is something that actually happened on one of your gigs (spot ops are late), or perhaps a situation that you are always fearing will happen (your console crashes at the start of the show), or how about a scenario that’s never occurred but it feels so real.
You are experiencing a Gigmare.
There is nothing you can do to stop them, because you will have them. You’ll wake up in a cold sweat and panic, but just like a nightmare, a few seconds later you’ll realize it’s just a bad dream, your breathing will return to normal, and you’ll go back to sleep.
Cold hard fact: You may leave the gig but the gig never leaves you.
Until next time, “Of all the things you choose in life, you don’t get to choose what your nightmares are. You didn’t pick them; they pick you.” John Irving
