Dreaming of the Eagles

[SallyGee]

VA, What a wonderful dream! It's really amazing what music can do for us.
Zelda, I want to find that mall too!

If I dream of Glenn singing, does that count as an Eagle dream?

Last night I dreamed I was sitting on the porch at my mother's house. My grandparents lived there when they were still alive, and the porch looked like it did back then, probably 45 years ago. But I sat on the step and I was the age I am now, not 5. I was singing along to Glenn's new CD and My Buddy came on. Out of nowhere my grandfather walked up and sat beside me, put his arm around me and sang along. When the song was over, he just...disappeared. The next song came on and I tried to sing along, but I woke up instead. It was so real, I swear I physically felt his arm around me.

Just now reading this. What a lovely dream!

I had an Eagles dream a little while ago but I haven't put it on here because it's more incoherent than usual and as such may not be very interesting to read. Still, here goes!

The entire Border community is in deep water, thrashing around. There are hundreds of us and I can't make out faces - everything's blurry - but I know everyone's there.

Suddenly Glennsallnighter disappears under the water, then pops back up again. "Don's down there!" she says.

"Oh no!" I cry and swim down myself, but Don is OK. He's in an astronaut suit with oxygen, standing at the bottom. He's just standing motionless at the bottom of the pool and staring straight ahead. I swim up to him but he doesn't see me; his eyes are blank, like he's in a trance. It's really freaky.

Then, suddenly, his face changes and it's not Don anymore. It's someone I don't recognize. I swim back up. "It's not Don... I don't think... " I announce, but I can't explain what I've seen and I'm frightened to go look again.

GA insists it's Don and swims back down, then back up again. "It IS Don, Nancy!" she says, visibly upset.

I gather my courage and swim back down again, and sure enough, it's Don, and now he can see me. His eyes follow me but he still doesn't move. I think something must be very wrong. I swim back up again. "I'll get help!" I cry.

Suddenly I'm on the shore with Captain Jean Luc Picard of the Starship Enterprise. He states confidently, "Don't worry, Nancy. I'll take care of everything." He turns to the water and steps in. When he does, it's changed from a ferocious, thrashing sea to a wave pool at an amusement park. He jumps in with a boogie board to bring everyone in and I know everything will be alright.

Meanwhile, I look over my shoulder and there's Don, standing around in swim trunks looking bored and behaving completely normally. There's no astronaut suit in sight. Things have gone from terrifying to completely trivial in a second. Somehow Captain Picard made this happen, I think. I feel so relieved!

But when I go over to Don and try to talk to him about it, he looks at me like I'm crazy. "What are you talking about?"

I realize he doesn't remember any of it. I look over at the wave pool and there's Capt. Picard rescuing people, so I know it all really happened. Why doesn't Don remember it? Did somebody do something to him to make him forget? Or maybe that wasn't Don down there after all.... but then who was it?

I start trying to figure out ways to test if something has happened to Don's memory, maybe ask him some questions that he should know the answer to or ask him to account for the last 24 hours and then check his story, but that's when I woke up. Mystery unsolved!

When I first started reading your dream, Soda, I didn't realize you meant we were in deep water literally - I just thought you meant we were in trouble! Lol!

Well, as usual, I have to ask, what did that dream mean????

[sodascouts]

Who the heck knows. I try to analyze them sometimes and come up empty.

[Troubadour]

I love it, Soda! Good old Captain Picard.

[VAisForEagleLovers]

I love it, Soda! Good old Captain Picard.

What's weird is that she dreamed it, wrote it, just like he'd say it. I could hear his voice as I read it.

Soda, that was pretty strange, but I can see from this list that there are a lot of strange dreams in there!! I think I need to read some of them. I haven't read this entire thread, only since I've joined here!

I had 2 Eagle dreams, awhile ago, but I haven't had the chance to post them. I think I need to get to that!

[Troubadour]

Absolutely hilarious, Soda! Loving the titles. I remember some of them without even re-reading, but I definitely will dip into them again. Too funny. I love that you told Don to be nice!

Oh... and I think a few Borderers would like to order a number 50!
