Re: Dreaming of the Eagles
Well, I can say that I had my first Eagles related dream last night. I rarely dream, or if I do dream, I don't remember them. Now, I'd been thinking that my first Eagles dream would involve Glenn Frey. Well, I was wrong. My first Eagles dream was about Joe Walsh. I'm thinking that the reason Joe was in is because last evening, I spent 3 hours watching the 2015 RnRHoF induction ceremony with my uncle. Joe was on there playing with his Brother in law, Ringo Starr.
Unfortunately, the dream wasn't too long or too exciting.(it was exciting to myself!)
It started out with me online looking up the Eagles on Google. About the 3rd or 4th link down said "Joe Walsh announces solo tour while on break from the Eagles". I thought "sweet", so for the heck of it, I decided to check the dates, even though I knew that he wouldn't play anywhere near me. Well, there were a few dates before the Eagles completed their HoTE tour. Then the dates skipped to August. The first date said "August 4th, Cordele, Ga 8 pm". I thought that I had lost it or had really misread the city. Cordele is a small city about an hour from me. It only has a population of 11,000. It's mostly known for being the place to go to get on I-75 going north to Macon/Atlanta.
Well, it turned out that Joe was actually playing in Cordele. Tickets were affordable even for my broke self, so I bought 2,(mom and I) and I also bought some earplugs for my mom, :lol: (she can't stand loud noises, so at least the dream was somewhat realistic). Joe was playing in an outdoor amphitheater. He took to the stage on time. He was wearing a gray t-shirt with khaki shorts (he looked great). He had just started playing Funk #49 when, in real life, my mom screamed at me "the damn dog got loose", and she woke me up. I was not happy!
Well, not a bad first Eagles dream to have! If only it could come true!

Re: Dreaming of the Eagles
So last night I dreamt that I was walking to my bedroom and I opened the door and turned on the lights. Sitting on my bed was none other than Don Henley. I was like "Oh my gosh! I'm so excited I don't even know what to do." He laughed and said, "Well hello to you too." To calm myself down, I took a deep breath. Then I said, "There's so much I want to talk to you about but I have to tell you something. Thank you for writing those songs." He put his hand on my shoulder and said, "You're very welcome. You have a guitar don't you?" I said that I did and I grabbed it out of my closet and gave it to him. Then he started writing a song. I was thinking, "Don Henley is writing a song in my bedroom! How cool is that!" When he started singing the song he just wrote, I was in complete awe of how amazing his voice was. Then my dog, Bella, came in my room and sat next to me. Don said, "Your dog is so cute." So I said to Bella, "Go see Don Henley!" And she jumped up in his lap and he petted her. Then I said, "Do you want to see my horse?" He smiled and said, "I'd love to." So I said, "Alright. I'll take you to the barn." Then I woke up.
I sure hope Mr. Henley will be sitting on my bed waiting for me when I get home tonight! :hilarious:

Re: Dreaming of the Eagles
Last night I had the best Eagles dream!
I dreamt that I was at an Eagles concert with my mom and dad. The layout of the venue was in a square. I was sitting at the top row but there were no seats going down. It was a straight drop down to the floor seats. The opening band was walking off the stage. Then Don Henley rose up on a little platform right in front of me. No one seemed to notice he was there except me. I waved at him and he smiled and waved back. I was thinking "Oh my gosh! Don Henley waved to me!" Once everyone realized he was there he said, "Due to some technical difficulties, the horse show that was scheduled to go after the Eagles is going first." Then he went back down on the platform. I thought, "If the concert isn't gonna start for a while, I'll wander around some." I walked around the corner and peeked over the railing. I saw some of my friends bringing their horses in. I sat down in an empty chair and I realized Glenn was sitting next to me. Freaking out, I leaned back in the reclining chair. Glenn leaned back too and he said, "Just relax." I put my feet up on the railing and he did too. I rested my head on my arms and he did too. I took a deep breath and he did too. We both laid there for a while looking in each other's eyes. It was amazing. Then my friend from school plopped in the chair on the other side of me. I tapped my friend's knee and pointed toward Glenn but he was gone. I told my friend about everything that happened with Don and Glenn and we realized that we hadn't seen Joe anywhere. My friend said, "I saw Timothy walking around on the floor but I haven't seen Joe. I hope he shows up for my first Eagles concert." "He'll show up. I know it," I replied. Sure enough we heard Joe warming up with some awesome guitar riffs. "This is going to be a great show," I told my friend.
When I woke up, I was really confused and I didn't know where I was. Then I realized it was only a dream and I was actually in my room.

Re: Dreaming of the Eagles
You know, I mentioned in another thread that I'd had a really disturbing dream about Glenn while I was in Texas last December, but what I didn't mention was that I also had a really sweet dream about him around that same time. It happened a few days later, I think. I'm going to talk about it here because it balances the bad one nicely.
That dream started out with me joining Glenn in his hotel suite. I was with a girl my age who he called "Beth" but whose real name was Jess. Turns out, in the dream, she was his daughter, and he eventually recognized her. There were tons of people in the hotel suite but weirdly, several of them were MY family members - my cousins, my parents. Glenn was chatty and friendly to all of us, working the room. There was a concert the next day and we were all invited. However, my family needed to fly back and I was obligated to go with them.
Suddenly, it's the next day and we're on our way to the airport when a runaway golf cart slams into my cousin's car and they miss their plane. I am secretly gleeful - we can go to the concert now!
When we get to the show, though, there's no ticket left for me. I figure I'll pay extra and get in, then try to sneak up to where my family was.
Before I could do so, however, the brick building next to the ticketing office started to shake and the a hole opened up in it that we could step through. That's where Glenn was. He was hanging out with his friends and family.
Everyone tried to sing the "Books of the Bible" song and flailed about halfway through, forgetting all those minor prophets. Glenn laughed and said, "Amateurs!" with a wink. He could do the whole thing.
I said, "I didn't think you sung that kind of song."
Glenn replied, "Someone told me they thought I'd sound good on it, so I decided to try it."
We were all about to leave for the show - Glenn to get onstage, and us to get to the audience. There was a guy with me who told Glenn to be careful onstage, that his life was being threatened, and Glenn looked shocked, then he blew it off. The rest of us trundled on out.
I somehow got separated from everyone else and got lost on my way to the concert hall. I was in a panic and trying to figure out how to get in. I made it just in time.
Then I woke up, but I was smiling, because in that dream, Glenn made me feel pretty special.

Re: Dreaming of the Eagles
Just reading about your dream put on smile on my face, Soda.
This part, though... I think that somehow something was letting you know that Glenn was in danger.

Re: Dreaming of the Eagles
I had an Eagles dream the other day that was cool but kinda sad. I dreamt that I was at an Eagles concert with my dad and we were standing in the front row but we were the only ones there. The entire arena was empty including the stage. My dad suggested that we go back stage and see if the Eagles were there because there was no security to tell us we couldn't. So we walked down a long hall way to a back stage area and we walked around the corner to a small room. Don, Joe, and Timothy were sitting there and Glenn was standing on the stairs. Don waved and Joe smiled at me. Don turned to Glenn and said, "Glenn, look." But Glenn was completely zoned out so Don had to snap his fingers in front of his face until he came out of his daydream. Then Don said again, "Glenn, look. We have a visitor." Glenn finally saw me standing next to him. I got really excited and all I could say was a nervous/excited hi. Glenn gave me a really weird look so I said, "You guys are my heroes." Glenn shook my hand and said, "I'm glad to hear that. Come sit down." I noticed that Glenn's hand was really cold and his veins were really pronounced but I sat down on the couch next to him. Joe said they were working on a set list and Glenn showed me what they had so far. I gave them my opinion on what songs they should play and we talked for what seemed like hours. Then I noticed that Glenn looked kinda sad so I asked him what was wrong and he said, "I don't know. I just feel weird." I said back to him, "Everything will be fine." Then I rested my head on his shoulder and we sat there peacefully for a few minutes. It was like the perfect moment. When I woke up, I realized that the reason Glenn was acting so strange was because I was dreaming of his sickness. :cry:

Re: Dreaming of the Eagles
I had an Eagles-related dream last night, and a bit of a strange one, as I wasn't really dreaming about the Eagles as such, just about a Don solo track with a weird twist.
I was asleep and Don's A Month Of Sundays came into my head. I should emphasise now that this was the studio version of the song I was listening to, not a live performance. The song was playing, and there was nothing odd - the music and lyrics were as they should be - but then, I think it was after the 'rushing of the wheels' line, Glenn started singing some completely different lyrics. I can't remember what he sung, but I knew it was Glenn's voice. Shortly afterwards I woke up. I have no idea what on earth that dream was about.
-
Re: Dreaming of the Eagles
Interesting dream. Month of Sundays was one of the songs I listened to a LOT after hearing about Glenn's passing (for some reason I still can't explain), so I find your dream especially intriguing!

Re: Dreaming of the Eagles
Well I finally ended up having Glenn and most of the Eagles show up in my dreams last night. I know I was so emotional after the Grammys performance and I tend to have dreams like this a lot but with other celebs I'm a fan of, so I had a feeling this was going to happen but the 2nd one of the two was so vivid and weirdly comforting. The first I had was that Glenn apparently did some sort of acoustic performance last spring/summer and it was finally airing. He did his Eagles and solo songs, a couple covers, and then apparently a new song but I don't remember the lyrics just that I never heard it before. I think maybe my mind was making up for me never seeing him live.
Then it morphed into the 2nd dream which was so vivid. I remember it starting out that I thought I was watching "Almost Famous" since I saw the actor who played William sitting by a record player till I realized it wasn't the movie's characters as Don and Glenn were actually sitting opposite me on a couch looking like they did around 1973 or 1974 based off hairstyles and Glen having long hair but no mustache. It seemed to be in a dressing room backstage somewhere. Glenn was playing a guitar quietly while Don was lounging with his arms crossed listening to a Beatles record Cameron Crowe (who my mind showed with the actor who played William) was playing. Randy was sitting in a chair along the wall quietly listening along too, Bernie was lying on the floor throwing I think a tennis ball against the wall, and I think Felder was sitting in a chair next to mine (I only really saw the guy from profile so I think it was Felder as he was blonde).
Anyway, Cameron is asking the guys about how The Beatles were an influence on them and I hear Don start talking about how they watched them as kids and the same things we heard on the "History of the Eagles" doc. I keep looking around the room as my thoughts start realizing that one, this isn't a movie and I shouldn't be there and that I hear "Come Together" playing. I look over at Glenn and see him playing his guitar along with the song and it's matching perfectly. Suddenly Glenn all of a sudden speaks and says "It's always the ones like that that go first."
We all look up at him and both Cameron and Don looked puzzled, Randy looks concerned, and I'm shocked he said that. The thought comes to me that this is years before John died and he shouldn't know that. Cameron asks what that means and I'm starting to speak when I see Glenn look up and stare straight at me. I then hear him speaking though his mouth never moves saying "Amanda, don't tell them the truth. They need this and you need this. Just let us have this for a little while."
I'm shocked he spoke to me as I actually heard his voice. So I try to think of what to say and end up saying something with my Beatle knowledge that John always wanted to start a band and how when he met Paul it finally started working so he was the originator/leader of the band. Cameron nods as he gets that and Don starts laughing and teasing Glenn for getting all the credit when he played a part too. Both Cameron and I even point out how they are like Lennon & McCartney. Glenn laughs about it and goes back to playing his guitar and talking with the other guys and I'm taking this all in right before I wake up.
It was just both so weird with the timing and how he spoke to me in it. It felt like I was there as I could feel the chair I was sitting in and remember so much of the details. I know I got inspired by "Almost Famous" and Cameron's story to start actually writing my own fictional stories I was creating as well (which have become my self-published novels) and how music always inspires me to write, so I feel like it makes sense for me to imagine this. And seeing the guys perform for Glenn last night I feel just brought this on but I'm glad it did. It was amazing to be in the same room with them and see them happy, especially Glenn.

It was amazing. :) I tend to have vivid dreams sometimes and I got told once in a screenwriting class I took in college that's a sign of being a writer and to write these down as some will work as story ideas. Then I have these kinds where it makes me question the meanings but also the idea of seeing them interact when they were young was so great. This one for sure is going in my dream journal.

Re: Dreaming of the Eagles
I had a great dream last night. I think the first since Glenn's death.
Ok. So I was the band's personal assistant. It was Thanksgiving. So we were getting ready for a Thanksgiving dinner. I was helping out the guys. The only two I can remember during this part was Don and Glenn. Someone ask me to fix the table which I did. The guest started to arrival. Somewhere during this time, Don and Glenn started to play Get Over It. Glenn picked up his guitar and started playing the solos to Get Over IT and somebody was singing it. It wasn't Don or Glenn. The Don in my dream was today's Don and the Glenn in my dream was 80s Glenn(No Fun Aloud era). So Don brings out a piece of paper with music tabs on there. So I told Don you and Glenn write great together. We both laugh.
Another part of the dream, Glenn had on white clothes. Glenn was almost dressed up like what he had on on his No Fun Aloud album cover. His shirt was literally unbutton except for two buttons. I told him something like, "you're trying some show some chest." We both laugh and then I said you and Don. So he goes to a room where I'm right there with him and he was trying to fix his shirt. It didn't work. His shirt was still unbutton. It was like a long string was closing up the shirt. Kinda like Don's vest he had on when he was promoting Cass County. A chain was kinda closing up the buttons.
Then another part of the dream, we were at the mall. IT was like nobody knew who they were. All I remembered in the dream was Don, Glenn and Bernie. I was locked arms with Glenn and he told something like you're one of our best personal assistant. They had another one before me and they enjoyed it.
Then I woke up. That was my first dream since Glenn's death that dreamed about Glenn and the other guys. I wanted to cry. I don't know what brought on that dream, but one of my favorites.

Re: Dreaming of the Eagles
Thanks everyone for sharing all of your dreams. They are all very interesting and some even downright weird.
My user name here is a bit deceiving because I rarely dream in my sleep and even if I do, I usually don't remember them. I'm more of a daydreamer. :thumbsup:
-
Re: Dreaming of the Eagles
I'm the same way Dreamer. I can become oblivious to the outside world while daydreaming, but I can only remember a handful of dreams that I have. That Joe dream from over 8 months ago is the last dream that I can remember any details about.
Shun, that job sounds like the perfect dream job. Being a PA for an 80s Glenn.... nice!
-
Re: Dreaming of the Eagles
Wow! These are cool dreams! I never have such vivid dreams. I did have a dream with Glenn in it actually about a month before he passed.
I walked into this bar where you had to go up these stairs for the back stage area. At the top of the stairs is this big open room with tables and chairs. There were a few people walking around. Off of the big room was a smaller room and I glanced in. I saw the side view of Glenn. He was standing there in a suit, there was a clothes rack and he was speaking to some woman. I assumed it was his wardrobe and he was getting ready for a show. Then I quickly turned away because I didn't want them to see me looking in. I walked down the stairs again to what looked like and empty bar and then my dream ended.
Not as cool and vivid as the others but I thought it was strange that I had a dream with Glenn in it.
-
Re: Dreaming of the Eagles
I had a dream when I took a nap today...I was plotting with a friend to go to Joe's show in Detroit...well in my dream...it was actually Ann Arbor MI that he was going to play...and we wanted to go so we could see his tribute to Glenn...we decided MI wasn't that far...and we would rent a van and pile into it..we were looking at maps and things...that's all I can remember..
-
Re: Dreaming of the Eagles
I had a dream about them a few years back. The original Eagles lineup(Glenn, Bernie, Randy, & Don) and I were tearing up the countryside--Storming the fields and raiding the abandoned houses in the area. Desperado-like, in its own way. The song "Ol' 55" was playing in the dream.
To this day, the image of me looking from the top of that rickety stairwell down at the guys and exchanging plans of attack is still firmly planted in my brain.

Re: Dreaming of the Eagles
Wow! Can't believe no one has posted on this thread since 2016!
I've had Glenn Frey dreams 2 nights in a row. I guess because Soda and I had talked recently about our regrets in not being able to attend the Bossier City concert in 2015, I dreamed Wednesday night that I was at the concert. I was sitting a few rows back from the stage and I could see Glenn leaning over and kissing people in the front row at the end of the concert. Besides being irritated that I was not on the front row getting a kiss, I was sad. I remember thinking that he must know this was going to be his last concert and I woke up very sad. :sad:

Re: Dreaming of the Eagles
The dream last night was goofy! The past 2 mornings I have awoken to the news that a house in the Houston area had caught on fire so I am thinking that may have played a part in this dream.
I dreamed that I was house sitting. However at first I was unsure who I was house sitting for, but then I realized that I was at Glenn and Cindy's house. I wasn't sure how I got the job but I was excited. Then my sister and a friend came over and I was telling them not to touch or mess anything up because this was Glenn's house and I wanted to do a good job so maybe they would hire me again. It was funny because I don't remember how I got the job or even how I realized it was their house. About that time I am thinking there is something wrong and start looking around the house. Seems like something is not quite right in the kitchen but the neighbors come over and start telling us how nice Glenn and Cindy are and how they are great neighbors and that I better take good care of the house. :worried:
Then I realize there is smoke coming out of the stove and then flames. Oh my, what is Glenn going to think if his house burns? So I call the fire department and start hitting the flames with a wet towel all the while wondering is this the correct thing to do? I am thinking, is this stove electric or gas? Whatever, the flames go away and the fire department shows up and tells me I did good. :yay:
I wake up and never get to meet Glenn or Cindy! :mad:

Re: Dreaming of the Eagles
Too funny on that last one HB! But really, any dream with Glenn in it, seen or not, has to be good! :lol:
The first one was good but I can imagine why you woke up sad. Dang, missing out on that kiss too! :heart:

Re: Dreaming of the Eagles
Thanks for sharing your dreams with us, HB. I agree that first one is kinda sad. And I rarely dream or, if I do, I rarely remember them. However, if I do remember them, they are usually the kind of nonsensical ones like your second one.

Re: Dreaming of the Eagles
Thanks to all of you for sharing your dreams, particularly Shun and HB. I must say I'm surprised too that the thread lay idle for so long until it was revived. But I suppose early 2016 was a very upsetting and confusing time for so many of us.
I'm going to post a dream that I had just at the end of January 2016. I have shared it privately with some members of the Border but I was in a very bad place then and wasn't ready to post it generally just then. Putting it into context, for me Glenn :heart:'s death came as a very unexpected and awful shock. Some false posting on FB had led people to believe that he was recovering and doing well, and when I got the news it just hit me where it hurt hardest. Reading accounts of how/why he had died was even more upsetting. My apetite was gone, and every time I closed my eyes to sleep I had visions of him in a hospital bed ill and in pain. I was resorting to sedatives and more alcohol than was wise just to try to numb the emotional pain and get me through the day. Then my Mom was admitted into hospital which meant that someone had to look after my Dad who was in the advanced stages of Alzheimers. I took a week off from work and was overnighting in my parents house some evenings as he couldn't be left alone for any length of time.
So this particular Friday night (think it was the 29th January) Dad didn't go to bed until 2 am so I had to stay up till then. As I was in charge of him I decided I would be better not to take any sleeping tablets in case I would not hear if he got up and went to sleep in my old bedroom.
The following morning when I woke up I realised that I had been dreaming about Glenn :heart: all night. This was the first time I had dreamed about him since he had died. I was walking along a street near my home and he was walking along beside me, dressed in a suit. He looked relaxed and happy and there was no evidence of pain or suffering in his face. We weren't holding hands or anything but he was at my side. He said to me 'Tell Cindy I want her to finish the book' - Was this a reference to the autobiography he was rumoured to have been writing? He also had a cd in his hand. He didn't say so but it seemed implicit that it was new unpublished songs.
After that I woke up. The sun was streaming in the window and for some reason there was a very unique peaceful feeling in my bedroom. Almost like a spiritual presence. Its like he was THERE with me for that short while. I think to this day he was in some spiritual way. And it made me think that yes, he was ok. And I started to feel a tiny bit better for the first time.

I'm going to post a dream that I had just at the end of January 2016. I have shared it privately with some members of the Border but I was in a very bad place then and wasn't ready to post it generally just then. Putting it into context, for me Glenn :heart:'s death came as a very unexpected and awful shock. Some false posting on FB had led people to believe that he was recovering and doing well, and when I got the news it just hit me where it hurt hardest. Reading accounts of how/why he had died was even more upsetting. My apetite was gone, and every time I closed my eyes to sleep I had visions of him in a hospital bed ill and in pain. I was resorting to sedatives and more alcohol than was wise just to try to numb the emotional pain and get me through the day. Then my Mom was admitted into hospital which meant that someone had to look after my Dad who was in the advanced stages of Alzheimers. I took a week off from work and was overnighting in my parents house some evenings as he couldn't be left alone for any length of time.
So this particular Friday night (think it was the 29th January) Dad didn't go to bed until 2 am so I had to stay up till then. As I was in charge of him I decided I would be better not to take any sleeping tablets in case I would not hear if he got up and went to sleep in my old bedroom.
The following morning when I woke up I realised that I had been dreaming about Glenn :heart: all night. This was the first time I had dreamed about him since he had died. I was walking along a street near my home and he was walking along beside me, dressed in a suit. He looked relaxed and happy and there was no evidence of pain or suffering in his face. We weren't holding hands or anything but he was at my side. He said to me 'Tell Cindy I want her to finish the book' - Was this a reference to the autobiography he was rumoured to have been writing? He also had a cd in his hand. He didn't say so but it seemed implicit that it was new unpublished songs.
After that I woke up. The sun was streaming in the window and for some reason there was a very unique peaceful feeling in my bedroom. Almost like a spiritual presence. Its like he was THERE with me for that short while. I think to this day he was in some spiritual way. And it made me think that yes, he was ok. And I started to feel a tiny bit better for the first time.
I've had meetings all week so I've just now read this, but I wanted to reply and say I'm so glad you were able to have this comforting dream at such a difficult time. :hug:

GA - So glad the dream gave you comfort in what was a difficult time for you and everyone here.
I wonder if Cindy could be writing a book. That sure would be interesting.
