Jimi Hendrix Dream

1) a Night Terror

2) a particularly scary Nightmare

a Jimi Hendrix Dream is a nightmare that happens in a semi-conscious state. You are either totally asleep and dream that you are awake, but it is hard to move.

Or you are conscious but can't move because your body hasn't awoken, although your mind has.

In that state you cannot move an inch but you feel as though your spirit can, albeit with some difficulty.

This is a well known and widely accepted medical condition that most if not all humans will experience, some more frequently than others. And seems to be more common in those with known sleep problems, such as, sleepwalking, insomnia, or hypersomnia.
However being raised in a religious household your parents may confuse a Night Terror with their 2 teenage sons frequently listening to Rock Music
Dads: Is Jeff up yet?

Kenny: Yeah, he is in the bathroom

Dads: Did he have another one of his Jimi Hendrix Dreams again last night?

Jimi Hendrix

The most iconic, profound, inventive, masterful and downright best guitar player in the history of music. No one came close to playing guitar like he did. It was never about how fast or how well he played (even though he played exceedingly well). It was about the special connection he made through his guitar and his listeners/audience. In effect, the guitar was to Jimi what Excalibur would have been to King Arthur - A profound expression of the power within one individual. Hendrix did many things that made his music so meaningful. Amongst these he helped to popularize guitar feedback... a technique which was previously undesirable at the time, not to mention playing it with his teeth, executing mind- bending solo's, and even evoking a personality within the instrument itself: for example during his rendition of the Star Spangled Banner, where his guitar echoed the harsh nature of the Vietnam War through sound alone. He created a style of music which even to this day has remained unparalleled, and gave us one of the most awe- inspiring forms of music ever. Some of his most famous songs include Purple Haze, Voodoo Child, and his rendition of All Along the Watchtower. There will never be anyone like him again... and even if you did reach his playing standard, you still wouldn't obtain the expressionism, mind or soul he channelled into every performance. Long live Hendrix... we really could do with another time like yours in this day and age :/
Go watch Jimi Hendrix's version of the Star Spangled Banner on Youtube... and if those last few notes don't send shivers down your spine, then you might as well have no soul...

Hendrix never learned to read or write music, played left-handed on a right-hand necked guitar, and is indeed known for the breakthrough concert at Monterey, 1967, where he is seen trying to urge the flames higher from his flaming guitar, helped with a little Ronsonol lighter fluid. They say Jimi never put his guitar down, and even took it into the bathroom with him. Legend has it that he played a London night club where sat The Who's Pete Townshend, front row. Jimi leaned into the table from the stage and wailed lightning from his throbbing Stratocaster while Pete visibly paled; Jimi laughed and played on. The British Invasion was over, and once again, they lost.

Unfortunately, one of the things about being Hendrix was that everyone - tout le monde - wanted to "get stoned with Jimi" or at the very least get Jimi stoned. Many was the time that a tab of this or a splash of that entered his body unannounced. And if you don't know what kissing the sky is, you have not been experienced.
jimi is jimi. there are no examples.
