Queensryche…last third of the song…deep voice spoken word: “Visualize \…\ pattern to form. If you persist in your efforts, you will achieve dream control.” I’ve always wanted to know what the gibberish says. Does anyone know or have a guess? ---

I was able to google another perspective, including the missing lines, from a tabulature offering: > [@](#): > > Voice: Visualise your dream, > Record it in the present tense, > Put it into a permanent form, > If you persist in all efforts, > You can achieve a dream come true… > …a dream come true… > …a dream come true… And another that shares part of my attempt, and part of the above attempt: > [@](#): > > [Visualize your dream] > [Record it in the present tense] > [Put it into a permanent form] > [If you persist in your efforts] > [You can achieve dream control] I’m pretty sure he says “dream control” not “dream come true”, but for the life of me I can’t hear the rest of it, even knowing what is (allegedly) said. Now onto what it is supposed to mean. My first guess is that you’re supposed to record yourself describing the dream you wish to have in the first-person, then you play it while you sleep. “I’m flying through the Grand Canyon. The water rushes below me, and I can feel the spray of the rapids on my face. As I round a bend, I see Jodie Foster and Kim Delaney on a riverbar…both naked…making out…they motion me closer…” ---

Greetings… I tremble as I type this This song came out in 2003 and I’m just now hearing the word part. I don’t believe in coincidence I do believe Everything happens for a reason I’ve recently had a major life changing experience I was turned on to this book The Four Agreements _A Toltec Wisdom Book_ By Don Miguel Ruiz Heres the link: [The Four Agreements Summary](https://www.litcharts.com/lit/the-four-agreements/summary) 7 minutes to read the first two paragraphs and bout half of the third paragraph. Hopefully that’s enough to give an inkling of what I’m getting at. PS… I love it. In my humble opinion the whole song… is about, not only about expanding your mind but… Magic Dream control Lucidity: clarity of expression; intelligibility the ability to think clearly, especially in intervals between periods of confusion or insanity brightness; luminosity (I think the upset woman at the beginning of the Spoken Word is the woman from the first verse) All I can make out is Help me, however the first verse explains why she’s upset He Says: Visualize your dream Record it in the present tense Put it into a permanent form If your persistent in all of this, You can achieve Dream Control then the man w the English accent speaks I don’t understand anything but that ends in: Get it? again the deep voice says: Dream Control the woman seems to be in the background at first I though she was panting but after listening to it repeatedly I think she’s saying: Help Me The last verse ends with : _You’re safe from the pain in the dream domain A soul set free to fly A round trip journey in your head Master of illusion, can you realize Your dream’s alive, you can be the guide_ Take good Care Y’all Peace Love and Light, Chicaboomboom
