Morrissey gave me a hug last night
…in a dream, of course.
I was standing watching some kind of fireworks display outside. Morrissey came along and, smiling, said “Hello Woman”. I smiled back and replied “Hello Man”. In the dream it was clear that we were friends and this was our little ritual, a private joke. He stood behind me, wrapped his arms around me, and we watched the fireworks. He was wearing a big old woollen ex-military overcoat, and as I leaned back against it, it was slightly scratchy and musty smelling, but comforting. And that was more or less that. We watched the fireworks for a few minutes, then he said good-bye and left.
I have some vague memory that I read somewhere that Morrissey is one of the most dreamed-about people, along with more obvious icons like Elvis and Marilyn Monroe. I tried a quick Google to see if I could locate the survey, but didn’t have any luck.

A) Are you seeing someone about your depression, and
B) Does Mr. Bsag know about your death wish, and
C) I've had more cheerful times at crematoria than listening to Morrissey.....
Where's your emoticon for tongue-in-cheek?

Jonathan Briggs: Perhaps it's just a result of my naturally (fairly) sunny outlook on life, but I often find melancholy music perversely uplifting: however bad things are, I can't possibly be as depressed as the person who wrote this music. Actually Morrissey-in-my-dream was quite cheery.
I think this
is the tongue-in-cheek smiley.

As is usual a line popped into my head as I read this. So, did you also fall out of bed twice?

Alan: Unfortunately not. That would have been great - acting out contextually-appropriate song lyrics of the subject of the dream

Clearly your dream was inhabited by an imposter.
