Dear Bill, I don't dream of celebrities often, let alone someone I hadn't thought of for several months and especially not someone who's barely even known here in America. In any case, I hadn't remembered a dream quite so vividly for some time; that in itself is a mixed blessing because the last person I dreamt of in such a way was committed to rehab days later. I felt what you felt - and you felt pressured and trapped, even amidst your bandmates and brother. Stifled and on the brink of something ... and I felt the overwhelming need to protect you - from what, I'm not sure, whatever caused you so much worry and stress - friends, the public, your fans, the world, yourself ... In every scenario, you went away ... and when you returned, I was always there, waiting for you, in case you needed me; sometimes you walked on by, sometimes with a glance towards me and a sigh of relief and an occasional smile, sometimes you simply stood next to me for a moment, taking in the peace of the moment. We rarely spoke, and when we did, words were fleeting and the memory of what was said escapes me. But I was always there when you came back, like your favorite teddy bear or childhood blanket. I did the math. When I had that dream, it was the middle of the night where you are - around 1:00 AM, to be exact. You should have been sleeping ... you more than likely WERE sleeping. For a reason, whatever the reason might be, your subconscious called out to my own. Why your mind would contact someone on the other side of the world, I am not sure - but understand that I got the message and I listened carefully. Throughout the dream, I thought of you as a little brother or nephew, a child - you were someone to protect, not a fantasy as many of your adoring European fans may see you. You are still young and have much left to see, life to experience. I look forward to the day when I do finally meet you, a fully grown, talented and knowledgeable young man. Until then, I wait on the other side of the world. You are welcome to visit me when you are ready, but until then ... Ich hoff du schliefst gut aus.
