Bizarre Guitar Dream

So, check this out...

Last night I had a dream that pretty much amounts to a nightmare.

In this dream, I had finished playing a gig and was intermingling a bit with the crowd. After a bit, I went back to the stage to begin packing up.

Well, in this dream, in that short time after the gig, someone had vandalized my Les Paul.

I dreamt that literally all the hardware and electronics had been stolen from it, right down to the bridge and tailpiece bushings. What's more, the headstock had been cut in half! It had been cut diagonally from around the low E tuning hole through the G tuning hole and that whole diagonal section on the bass side was gone. The remaining portion of the headstock had been set on fire and was just charred wood when I found the guitar. To top it all off, the guitar had been sanded all over with what seemed to have been about 60 grit sandpaper!

Needless to say, the guitar was pretty much trashed.

The dream seemed very real and I woke up in a literal sweat.

Yeah, I checked in on my Les Paul today to make sure it was okay!
 
I occasionally awake somewhat startled, but never panicked like that. Maybe as a kid...

I've had odd somewhat unpleasant dreams about guitars, nothing that model specific. Many consisted of necks and frets or other unknown hardware that would not logically function as I looked them over. The more I tried to make it work, the more complex the anomalies became. Weird stuff. Cannot recall any within the last few years.

I had a running series of dreams many years ago trying to buy guitar strings in a vague non-specific store. They never had what I wanted in stock. What few sets they did have were incomplete or otherwise not worth buying.

Interpretation:
God is telling you to buy more guitars and amps, immediately.
It's a message from above.

So the secret dream message is this:
Get an Epi that looks like your Gibby.
Take the Epi to gigs and when someone in your dreams trashes it, you just laugh and go back to intermingling with the crowd.

What if I went with an idea I had a couple of years ago...?

I could relabel it as the Fat Bob, made by Billy Goat Guitars.

Nobody, even in my dreams, would bother to mess with a Billy Goat Fat Bob, right?

Right?
