A Betoota Grove man is recovering this morning after waking during a nightmare overnight where his beloved grandson traded a six-string for something with many more.

Sources tell The Advocate that the man, Dennis Ardigan, screamed as he was ripped violently from dreamland. After gathering himself, he turned to his wife and said, "I had a vision that little Alfie was learning the sitar".

This morning, the 69-year-old spoke briefly with our reporter, where he was able to shed some light on what happened.

"It freaked me out," he said.

"Little Alfie saying, 'Hey Grandpa, listen to this!' and he started playing me 'Atlantic City' by Springsteen, one of my favourite songs, and I just lost it,"

"Maybe it's telling me something? I was thinking about getting him a Fender Newporter for his birthday? Maybe I've been watching too much Sky News and all the footage of Paramatta Station at peak hour,"

"The worst part about it, it actually sounded pretty good."

More to come.
