I agree with the spiritual part.
As u can see Scenes from a memory, Six degrees, train of thoughts and Octavairuim have one streamlined theme. All talking about spirituality from different views.
How do get to the point that they are connected?
Six degrees cd 1 starts like scenes of a memeory ends, train of thoughts begins like cd 2 of the six degress and the first piano tone fits exatly the missing last tone in the last song of the train of thoughts.
I have always loved dream theaters' love for detail in everyway.
First Scenes From A Memory introduces us to the "soul" spiritual part, kind of a dream thought "Wake up nicholas" at the end of the album tells me somehow that it it is a thought of dreams that the spirit goes on.
HOwever the next album Six Degrees of inner turbulence talks more about the psychological side of "spirits". Ethic and moral. Whereas train of thoughts deal with how people handle sprituality, "abuse" it or suffer from it.
What octavarium acutally is about....hell i haven't figured that out yet.
actually, scenes from a memory is written as a play where a man find's himself the reincarnation of a girl murdered in the 20's or something, and he wants to figure out her story so he goes to a therapist. He delves into his mind and finds out her story of how she was murdered. Afterwards, since he has found peace, he goes home and sleeps. the therapist follows him to his house and wakes him up and kills him. it turns out that the therapist was a reincarnation of THE MURDERER ALL ALONG OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOHOOOHHOHOHOOOOOOOOO! really though, i swear thats...

yes enderwggn, that is the story of Scenes From A Memory... however Mozzy is right, SFAM does look at the spiritual and supernatural in terms of the soul- reincarnation, karma etc ("our deeds have traveled far/what we have been is what we are"). and Mozzy buddy you hit the nail on the head- Six Degrees looks at issues in terms of psychology, morality and ethics. as for Octovarium, I am a somewhat new DT fan and look forward to the pleasure of experiencing it.
