Dreaming Like Mad with Dion McGregor

Stream
Sleep specialist William C. Dement once observed that “dreaming permits each and every one of us to be quietly and safely insane every night of our lives.” He must not have heard of Dion McGregor. McGregor’s dreams were certainly insane. But quiet? Hardly! Hundreds of McGregor’s outlandish somniloquies—fortuitously recorded by his roommate Michael Barr—attest to the fact that he was the most loquacious and extraordinary sleeptalker ever known. This collection presents over an hour of enthralling and hilarious adventures from this master orator of slumberland, all recorded with his windows open and the atmospheric noises of Manhattan’s First Avenue traffic in the background. It begins with Dion and friends being swallowed up by the Sunday edition of the New York Times, and from there, things only get stranger. Fifty years after the release of The Dream World of Dion McGregor—the Decca LP that started it all—you are once again invited to eavesdrop on the musings, stories, rants, and screams of a man who is fast asleep and dreaming like mad!
