From lyrics into dreams

Gotta tell briefly about how yesterday's lyrics influenced the dreams I saw last night. Very realistic feeling one dream especially; a dream where I had skill of travelling anywhere through time. I didn't have any visible time machine or technical device for time travelling, but I simply did it by power of thought. I started going around in time from this current time in my life, so the only "device" I had with me, was my current mobile phone (Microsoft Lumia 950 XL if you really needed to know).

I'll describe one time travel case from that dream here: I appeared in a school class of my own, from closer to 30 years ago (late 1980s). The people in the class first couldn't see me, but I could move around in the classroom and observe what was going on. One student was about to start a presentation and I went to front of class as well, looking how it goes. Student stated that the subject of presentation is music, and heavy metal music - the most extreme form of it especially. I was amused about the subject and thought like "well this is something I must hear!" ... nothing really special there, but after some beginning lines one pal from back of the class raised his hand and teacher gave that student permission to talk. It was a guy that used to be a friend of mine back then. He stated excitedly something like "we have a visitor here who should be giving this presentation instead!" and pointed at me. Suddenly everyone saw me. He continued by shouting "how do I know? because this guy has been listening to his dose of metal music well over 30 years by now, even the extreme metal stuff, not just heavy metal!" ... Instead of students looking at me, everyone started shouting, laughing and questioning about what on earth is being claimed, there was no extreme metal 30 years ago, are you crazy! (yeah, count back 30 years from late 1980s). Hah!

So the situation calmed down somehow and the original presentation was continuing. I took my current mobile phone and tried taking some pictures thinking about "what if the pictures stay in the phone as I travel somewhere else in time and even to current time?" ... somehow (surprise) I couldn't seem to get any pictures. Phone was working normally otherwise, but camera wouldn't take pictures. I was making some noise while messing around with the phone, and at that point students started looking at me again - asking who is this guy and hey what is that thing you are playing with!? I was explaining it's nothing, just some junk and I'm leaving soon ... which I did, too. Just vanished and went elsewhere. Etc.

Talk about lyrics affecting dreamworlds. :) ... and I wasn't even writing about time yesterday, I was thinking about how these tales don't seem to have so much to do with time than my doom metal project M4D's last release clearly had. But these SF tales (some of them) deal with space travel so combining two things ... you get dreams of time travelling. Funny.
