Indulge in my insanity for a bit, please.

You’re me. You had dreams as a kid where you saw yourself as an adult (in hindsight, you’re terrified with how accurately you invisioned how you’d look in your 20s. how did 6 year old you know that your hair would go from blonde/light brown and straight to dark brown and extremely curly after puberty? I digress.) In these weird dreams, you meet a band in a bar. You assume it’s the 70s because of the way you are all dressed and the way their music sounds, but something feels off about that assumption. You fall in love with the enthusiastic lead singer who you simply know as J. He’s got curly brown hair and he’s about the same height as you. You can’t remember his face when you wake up but you do remember every other detail in the dreams. Keep in mind, you are having them frequently from the ages of 6 to 13. In high school, you rarely get the dreams. You almost forget about them. Just before your senior year, you hear about a band called Greta Van Fleet. They’re from Frankenmuth, MI (hey woah! You’re parents almost moved you there in middle school and you’ve had a small fascination with the town ever since. That’s cool) They sound like a band from the 70s. That’s cool. You like 70s rock. You listen to Flower Power for the first time and immediately burst into tears. That’s weird. But anyway, you swear you’ve heard that song before, is it a cover? Nope. Weird. You move to Nashville for college. Why does everything here look familiar? You’ve never been here. You start have the dreams consistently again. You chalk it up as your brain seeking comfort in your childhood dreams. A few times when you not-so-legally hang out at bars, you almost run into that band you listen to sometimes (GVF). You just barely missed them, but that’s still cool. The dreams are starting to feel more real. You and J start acknowledging you’re in a dream. You start realizing that you look like you do in the dreams irl and you try not to freak out about it. Also, you’re in Nashville in the dreams. You’ve always been here. This whole dream situation is weird. The school year is over and you have to decide if you’re moving back to California with your dad or to Florida with your mom (you dropped out of school and are too broke to live on your own). You decide to go back to California for the summer and then to Florida in the fall. Right after you make your decision, you find out that GVF was having a show in Florida the week after you move out of the dorms. You move to California. You are pissed off because you remembered why you left California, you miss Tennessee, and you haven’t seen GVF in person yet depite listening to them for about two years and almost running into them a few times. It’s May, GVF announces a tour and you decide you absolutely must go see them. You impulsively buy tickets to see them in Nashville. You’re not going back for school, but you’ll be in Florida by the time they do their shows in California and you can go visit your only friend who you miss dearly. You keep having more dreams. You think it’s kinda funny that J is similar to Josh Kiszka. What a weird coincidence. It’s September now. You have another dream. You and J are sitting and talking and he suddenly just says “soon.” You’re like “what do you mean soon??” And he just repeats himself. The next day GVF releases a song called Always There, which mentions a woman in a dream. That’s weird. Very weird. But logically you know it has nothing to do with the dreams. More weird coincidences happen between the dreams and GVF. You posted about them on your blog a few times and the typical reaction is “wow your imagination is active”. At times you question whether or not you’re making it up, but why would you do that? The coincidences are making you feel like you’re going crazy and you hate it, so why would you make it up? It’s December 2020, Greta Van Fleet keeps posting “Soon.” How are you feeling?
