Dreamed I was mixing a show where the audience was made of tape hiss

Last night I'm at a console I don't recognize, and every fader I touch makes the room go quieter instead of louder. I look up and the whole audience is just tape hiss — thousands of little silver bodies swaying in time. No one claps, but somehow I know they're happy. I woke up kind of relieved, honestly. Quietest gig I've ever had.
