I was sitting on a bench against the wall inside a music store, having a fun chat with David Byrne. We were swapping stories about various clueless and/or annoying musicians. As we talked he turned into Bruce Springsteen (?!)
After a while he was so taken with my great personality that he handed me his little black book.
"Go ahead and write your contact info down. At some point I'll bring Max (Weinberg) over for a jam, okay?"
Okay! Why not? I've never been a big Bruce fan, but I was curious hoping he would show me some of his low key acoustic blues... Then what would Max be doing?
Dreaming that you are a celebrity means your high aspirations that may be way beyond your reach at the present moment. You may just be setting yourself for a let-down. Dreaming that a friend or lover becomes a celebrity means your fear of losing the friendship and loyalty of this person. Seeing a celebrity in your dream, represents your beliefs and understanding about him or her. Something in you waking life has triggered these similar beliefs and feelings. It is not uncommon that your obsession with a certain celebrity may carry over onto your dream world. Celebrities are often seen as heroes and all that is mighty. Also consider any puns within the name. Dreaming that you are good friends with a celebrity, represents your idealized version of someone you know in your life. Perhaps you hope that a real-life friend can act more like a particular celebrity. Consider the qualities that you see in this celebrity and how you want your friends to have those qualities.
Dreaming of books indicates calmness. You will advance toward your goals at a slow and steady pace. Books also symbolize knowledge, intellect, information and wisdom. Consider the type of book. It may represent a significant calling into a specific field of work. Dreaming of dusty books indicates forgotten knowledge or previous "chapters" of your life.

Its symbolic significance depends on the shape and size. The large
flabellate fan is related to air and wind, and is the emblem of Chung-li Chuan, the
first of the Eight Chinese Immortals, who is said to have used it to revive the
spirits of the dead (5). A fan of this type is usually heart-shaped, and is sometimes decorated with feathers. The feathers stress the association with aerial and
celestial symbolism as a whole. It is an attribute of rank among several Asian and
African peoples, and is still so used—with a cosmic significance—by the Pope
(41). The characteristic Western fan is of the folding type, and hence associated
with the phases of the moon, so that its symbolism relates to imagination, change
and femininity. The changing pattern of phenomena, as shown in the rhythm of
moon-phases (non-being, appearance, increase, full being, decrease), is expressed
in terms of erotic, allegorical fan-language. So is the Heraclitean conception of
perpetual flux. A fan is used in this latter sense by Max Ernst in one of his
paintings.

As an attribute, it pertains to several mythic characters, including Hecate
(31). It is symbolic of mystery or enigma, or of a task to be performed, and the
means of carrying it out. It sometimes refers to the threshold of the unconscious
(32). The key to knowledge corresponds, within the cycle of the year, to the
month of June (healing). The conjunction of the symbols of the male dove and the
key signifies the spirit opening the gates of heaven (4). The emblem formed by
two keys, sometimes placed over a heart, relates to Janus (4). In legend and
folklore, three keys are often used to symbolize a like number of secret chambers
full of precious objects. They are symbolic representations of initiation and
knowledge. The first key, of silver, concerns what can be revealed by psychological understanding; the second is made of gold, and pertains to philosophical
wisdom; the third and last, of diamond, confers the power to act (38). The finding
of a key signifies the stage prior to the actual discovery of the treasure, found
only after great difficulties. Clearly there is a morphological relationship between
the key and the Nem Ankh sign (or ‘Eternal Life’)—the anserated cross of the Egyptians; their gods are sometimes shown holding this cross by the top as if it
were a key, especially in ceremonies concerning the dead. But it should perhaps
be pointed out that, in this case, it is the keys that derive from the anserated cross,
the archetype of the key of Eternal Life that opens up the gates of death on to
immortality.
