Dreaming of the Eagles

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.

VA that is an amazing dream...I think your grandfather is definitely watching over you!!!

I had an Eagles dream last night!...I dreamed I was in a mall...in some clothing store trying to find an outfit to wear to their concert...and all they were playing in the store was Eagles music...I told my friend wow listen they're playing all Eagles music in here today...we left the store and were walking through the mall and again there was Eagles music being played throughout the mall...I remember thinking wow this is bizarre but I love it...we went into store after store and Eagles music was everywhere..in every store...That's all I remember...but I know I love that mall whatever it was!!!

VA, what a neat, bittersweet dream!

And zelda, I want to go to that mall too!

What a beautiful dream, Verna. And now whenever you hear Glenn singing My Buddy you'll think of how much your grandfather loved you. :smile:

Very touching, VA! :-) I think your grandfather was actually there with you too.

zelda, I would't get any shopping done in that mall! I'd be too preoccupied with the music!

As allways, I love reading this thread. 'Sweet' dreams, VA and Zelda!

Verna, that is such a lovely dream.

I called my mother yesterday and told her about the dream and she cried a little. Oddly enough, she'd dreamed of him that night, too. As I mentioned in my song by song review, my grandfather used to sing this to me when I was very small. I didn't remember that until this CD came out and as Glenn sang it, I was instantly taken back to that porch (though not on the step) and I remembered my grandfather sitting next to me and singing it as we looked out at the garden. This dream, though, wasn't about the past. An amazing, wonderful dream I hope I remember forever.

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

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???? :headscratch:

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

I love it, Soda! Good old Captain Picard. ;)

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!

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! :lol:

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

I know, right Troub?!! I was scanning the list and stopped cold at #50 and clicked on it. Probably the shortest dream Soda has ever shared with us. :blush:

Um, yeah, I clicked on that one too!

I'm a bit jealous of your last dream, Soda. Don Henley and Captain Picard IN THE SAME DREAM!!?? :nahnah::inlove:

Soda, that is a LOT of dreaming about the same people even though it's different ones at different times. Makes me think you might have a bit of an obsession going on! Maybe?!!!! :hilarious:

I remember reading most of those dreams, but I found myself laughing out loud reading those titles!:hilarious: I'll have to go back & reread some of them.

EK - a fellow fan of Star Trek: TNG! What could go wrong with Capt. Picard around?

As for those titles - they don't communicate half of the bizarre nature of those dreams!

Well, considering that since the beginning of this thread three and a half years ago, it's been approximately 1300 nights, and I've only had about 60 dreams, that means I only have, on average, one every three weeks. That's not TOO bad!

It's not bad... it's excellent! :thumbsup: I wish I had that many Eagles dreams. I do tend to remember my dreams, but usually they have no point to them. Last night, for example, I was riding around on an electric blue Segway for half the night. Very random.

I wish I had any Eagles dreams! I rarely dream at all.

Oh Soda I am going to read about all your dreams tonight...still being kind of new...I haven't heard about most of these...should be great entertainment if the ones I have read about are any indication!!!

I had a dream last night about...Joe...I was at his and Marjorie's wedding...as a representative of the border. I kept hugging him saying "oh Joe we are all so happy for you..all the Eagles fans are so happy for you...I just kept repeating it and repeating it and hugging him...then I said "Joe I saw your show last week in New York...at the casino" and he said "oh I hated it there"...that's all I remember!

Cute dream! A Border representative at his wedding - I love it!

OMG Soda! I cannot believe I missed that dream, after starring in it as well! I think it was just around the time we were heading away on holidays! I love your dreams, and you can recount them so clearly. I sometimes DO dream about the Eagles or Glenn :heart:, but often they tend to be scrappy and wouldn't make a lot of sense to post!

Yep, that was a couple weeks after we'd met up.

I haven't had an Eagles dream for over a month. Seems I'm about due for one! lol

I had an Eagles dream last night. It was all over the place and very bitty, but I'll do my best! (I should mention that I've been having loads of odd dreams lately. Don was actually featured in one at the start of the week. He was a dentist and he was giving free check-ups at a village fete. I was too nervous to go over because I had a huge crush on him, but I actually ended up tripping towards the end of the day, falling into a brick wall and losing my front tooth. As if that wasn't traumatic enough, my friend dragged me over to him, apparently excited because now I had a legitimate reason to see him, but he was packing up his stuff. He barely looked at me and said "Sorry, girls. Check-ups have finished. Gotta go." And so I was left, bloody-mouthed, tooth in hand, with not an ounce of sympathy from my dream man! Sad face. He looked good in the white coat, though...)

Last night's dream started with me surfing FB. I saw on Willie's wall that she had a litter-picking group with two friends; two teenage guys, one of whom was called Ricky. He was really geeky but was actually quite nice-looking without his thick glasses on! I decided to join Willie and team that Saturday on their litter pick. When I say it was a small town, I mean it was basically just one curved street with a few houses. It did have a railway line though, that the three of them were campaigning to get fixed. Somehow from there I ended up in a car with the guys from The Hangover. It was as if we had just come from a wild weekend because the guys were a complete mess! We dropped each one off at various destinations until it was just me and Alan. We cruised into Los Angeles at sunset and pulled up in an outside parking lot. I said "OMG - it's Hotel California!" Alan looked over and we saw the exact HC cover pic in real life - even the sky looked the same. He made me take a pic of him standing in front of the scene. We decided to go for a drink and ended up in a really nice cocktail bar. Joe Walsh was there with some male friends. He looked so good in a casual black suit (no tie) and he was just having a laugh with his buddies. I sat next to this attractive middle-aged woman who apparently had been on reality TV and was a well-known socialite/maneater. She seemed nice enough but then she tugged and pulled at the back of her seat until the support bit came right off! I made a joke of it and said "You just wanted a basic stool, huh?" She looked at mean and started to cry. I asked what was wrong and she said "I really want a chair, that's all!" I was totally confused and pretty much had her down as either a drama queen or a total fruit loop (or both) by this point, but I said "Oh, here - have my chair. I prefer stools anyway." She seemed happy with this and we swapped seats. Somehow I got talking to Joe later (in my effort to move away from the crazy lady) and he laughed and whispered in my ear: "That's Tara. She's VERY high maintenance." The next thing I know, we're in my grandparents' hallway, just me and Joe. He is talking to someone who is in the bathroom. I can hear words and splashing in the bath and I suddenly realise it is Don Henley! I am too stunned to ask what Don Henley is doing in my grandparents' bathroom so I just gawp and listen to Joe and Don discuss tonight's show through the door. Suddenly the door opens and Long Run-era Don is soaking wet, with a white towel wrapped around his waist. He grins and raises his eyebrows at me and darts into the bedroom (MY bedroom!) to get ready for the gig. I peer around the bathroom door and say dumbly "I can't believe Don Henley was in my bath." Joe grins and puts his arm around me and says "He's even cleaned it for ya, too. That's Henley. I wouldn't have bothered." He gives me a cheeky grin and a wink and I can't help but smile. He smells really good, btw... Later, I am at the show back in LA. It's all dark and then HC starts up with the familiar backdrop but the guys all look a bit different. Caught somewhere between the '70s and '80s. Glenn, for example, is in head to toe denim. He has his '70s moustache and he looks young, but his hair is short. Don is wearing a cream shirt and tight gold trousers. He is WAY more energetic and bouncy than I have ever seen him and he is a total ham! He does this great drum solo and then almost leapfrogs over the kit to come to the front of the stage. It all goes dark and the guys turn around so we can't see them and several puppets dressed as farmers take their place. They sing the Genesis song 'I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe)' and Don does the talky bits where he says "It's one o'clock and time for lunch, dum de dum de dum..." and then "When the sun beats down and I lie on the bench, I can always hear them talk. Me, I'm just a lawnmower, you can tell me by the way I walk." I was totally blown away by how spot-on his British/farmer accent was and wondered how much time he'd spent practising it!

That's about it. LOL. Told you it was weird. ;)

:applause: All over the place...but VERY entertaining!

They sing the Genesis song 'I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe)' and Don does the talky bits where he says "It's one o'clock and time for lunch, dum de dum de dum..." and then "When the sun beats down and I lie on the bench, I can always hear them talk. Me, I'm just a lawnmower, you can tell me by the way I walk." I was totally blown away by how spot-on his British/farmer accent was and wondered how much time he'd spent practising it!

That's about it. LOL. Told you it was weird. ;)
