John Lennon Instagram – I’M ONLY SLEEPING. 🔴 That’s me. Dreaming my life away. It’s all backwards guitars too. When you’re on tour, you exist in this kind of vacuum all the time. It’s work, sleep, eat and work again. We work mad hours, really, but none of us would have it any other way. When I look back, I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t in the business – it seems years to me, now. In Hamburg, you would only have two hours’ sleep, and then you’d have to wake up and take a pill, and it would be going on and on and on, since you didn’t get a day off; you’d just begin to go out of your mind with tiredness and you’d think you’d be glad to get out of there. But then you’d go back to Liverpool, and only remember the good fun you had in Hamburg, so you wouldn’t mind going back. What with playing, drinking and birds, how could we find time to sleep? I dream in colour, and it’s always very surreal. My dream world is complete Hieronymus Bosch and Dali. I love it, I look forward to it every night. One recurrent dream, all through my life, was the flying bit. I’d always fly in time of danger. I remember it as a child, flying around, like swimming in the air. I’d be swimming round where I lived or somewhere I knew very well, usually. The other times in dreams I remember are nightmarish, where there’d be a giant horse or something and whenever it would get near to a danger point, I would fly away.
