So, Elton John was in town (Brisbane) and sold out a couple of concerts. He put on a special extra one in a park (fantasy park - it looked nice) and you had to be lucky to get a ticket. Despite my having no interest in ever seeing him in concert in real life, in the dream I ended up there and was happy about it, and found that a bunch of people I hadn't seen since high school were also there.
(I recently was talking to friends about high school people, so I know where that bit came from.)
OK, so the boring bit. Donald Trump was also there, up the back, and I was sitting quite close to him. The pre-show entertainment included 3 separate drummers who were in some sort of solo drumming competition, with Trump indicating when the next one could start. I thought "typical that this guy would be into the most boring form of musical entertainment conceivable." After that went on and on, some other stage entertainment started, and it was all incredibly dull. At one point I thought Elton had come out and I started clapping, but it was someone else. After a couple of hours, I thought that the whole concert may be a prank, but eventually Elton came out, a bit apologetic. I remember nothing of his performance.
The next bit I remember is that I slept in the park overnight, and was disappointed in the morning to realise I had no brought no change of clothes, and I had to catch public transport home looking dishevelled.
It was the intensity of the boredom of the pre-show entertainment that was the key feature, and I can't work out why such an idea was rattling around my mind.
