Dreaming of the Eagles

[WalshFan88]

I had never had an "Eagles" dream per se....

I had a very in depth Eagles dream last night that was so real it kind of scares me.

I'm going to try to write it out the best I can remember it but here goes.

I was at a party of some sort, a celebration for me. I don't know if it was an award or a birthday or what, but my parents and friends rented this big place and it was a celebration for me.

I was drinking, eating, and having a good time when I see Don and Glenn walk in. There was a little stage at the front with some chairs and a PA and some acoustic guitars.... I think Joe and Tim might have been there too but I don't really remember them, I remember Don and Glenn.

This is where it gets weird... All of a sudden they sit down and start playing "Take It Easy". I can't believe they are really there and I start crying! Yes, crying!! I could hear my mom saying to my dad, "This is the happiest I've seen him in years". It was a surprise gift for me! The next thing I know is that I'm standing outside, and Don and Glenn were leaving... Don passes by and maybe says one or two words and then leaves but Glenn hangs around and talks... This is what confuses me. He said "you looked tense up there playing with us but it was great!". How was I up there playing with them when I was watching the whole time from the audience and never saw myself up there?! I never remember being onstage. He then said, "I thought about doing Peaceful Easy Feeling instead because it's a strumming song too". He said some other things I cannot remember clearly and stayed around talking to me a bit longer and then left. He was pretty friendly, where as Henley seemed a bit more reserved. Also, this was from a different time than current, this was like 80s/90s era Glenn and Don, solo years.

And then I remember saying to myself..... and I quote "OMG wait until I tell everyone on the Border this!!!!!!". And then the next thing I knew I was looking for everyone, everyone had left and I was alone in this dark big building with all the lights off and was freaking out.

And then I woke up!

Craziest freakin' dream I think I've ever had!!!!!!!!!! And this is %100 true. No joke.

ETA: You know - I just got to thinking. A lot of my dreams occur at celebrations for me or parties held for me.... I wonder what that means?!

Nice dream, Austin!! Made me smile!

[Glennsallnighter]

Love your dream Austin! Wouldn't it be great if it happened for real!

[WalshFan88]

Yes it was a bit weird! But yes, to play a song with them would be awesome!

Hi Austin, I'm pretty new here...haven't "met" you until now...I loved your dream...you should look some of it up in a dream book and maybe it'll give you some idea of the meaning...my sis has a lot of these books and really believes in them...me I don't know...but they're fun to look at anyway.

I think it was a cool dream, Austin!

Maybe it's because of those concert parties you've told us about. They sound like a lot of fun and they probably are very special to you, so variations of them show up in your dreams.

I loved this bit!! Great dream, Austin.

Personally, I think our dreams are a combination of things we are excited about, worried about, things we need to do, plus issues that are unresolved and our (sub)conscious desires and fears. Not necessarily all at once. One example that we can probably all relate to is dreaming something is going to go wrong before a concert!

I think reading this thread late last night made me have an Eagles dream, too!

In my dream, I'm not a participant. It's like I'm watching it on TV.

Glenn (as he looks today) is a spy. He is recording a secret conversation between two enemy agents, hiding in the trees nearby as they talk. He is recording something that will uncover their evil deeds. The enemy agents look like something out an old move - they're wearing trenchcoats, hats, and sunglasses. They finish and he slips away. It is time now to go to his contact and set up a meeting with another American agent.

His contact works at the first window of the McDonald's drive-thru. He orders chicken mcnuggets and she asks him if he wants free tater tots. He says yes. This is their secret signal. He pulls up and tells her to arrange for their government contact to meet him in the park where he will pass the US agent the recording. She takes his cash.

He then pulls up to the second drive-thru window to receive his food. The woman at the second window tells him that he can have special mcnuggets shaped like hearts for free. "Cool!" he says excitedly. She opens the bag, sees the tater tots, and slips in the special mcnuggets.

"Did you get these tater tots free?" She asks.

"Yes!" Glenn says happily. "I love tater tots. It's my lucky day!"

What Glenn doesn't know is that she is an enemy spy! She knows the secret tater tot signal, too! She now knows Glenn is a spy. She reports him to her superior at McDonald's (apparently this McDonald's is a den of spies). He says "I can't believe he told you he got those free. How could one of America's top agents be so careless? Didn't he suspect something when you asked?"

"I guess he was just really excited about the free tater tots and forgot himself," the McDonald's lady says.

"Well, he's done it now," the manager replies. "We'll have him followed."

Glenn shows up at the park in a Superman costume and now looks exactly like he does on the OOTN album. His fellow agent shows up in a pink bunny costume. You can't see his face as he has a big bunny head on. These disguises are how they are recognizable to each other.

They meet and Glenn slips him the recording. Just then two enemy agents who are also in the park rush them. The man in the bunny costume has a jet pack and is able to rocket up and out of harm. Glenn is left with two agents pointing guns at him.

"Give us the recording!" One of them orders.

"What recording?" Glenn asks innocently.

"We'll get it out of you!" One of them men cries and the two slowly walk toward him. "You're coming with us or we'll shoot you right here! Your Superman costume cannot protect you!"

At that moment, the friendly agent in the sky drops a rope down. Glenn grabs it, quickly wraps it around his body while the enemy agents look on (!) and then he is lifted into the sky. One of the enemy agents says, "Maybe he really was Superman! He can fly! But who knew Superman would have such long hair?"

Then suddenly the dream shifts from this being a program on TV to this being a reality. I'm watching CNN and President Obama is awarding a medal of honor to Glenn because his recoding of the enemy plans has saved the free world. Glenn now looks like he did during the HFO period. He is wearing his jeans and black T-shirt from the HFO video and looks very sexy!

Obama then announces that as a celebration, the Eagles will re-form with the original line-up (apparently they were broken up in my dream). Glenn signals Obama "no", shaking his head. Obama asks "The Hotel California line-up?" Glenn shakes his head again. "All of the line-ups together?" Obama asks. Sighing, Glenn comes up to the mike himself and Obama steps aside.

"We fired Bernie and Randy. It is the Long Run line-up," Glenn explains.

"Oh- sorry!" Obama apologizes.

"That's ok," Glenn smiles. "And Don Henley deserves an award too. He was also working with me as a spy while we toured in the seventies. That's why we had to fire Bernie and Randy. They weren't spies and they were starting to get suspicious. Sorry, Bernie and Randy," he says into the mike. He turns to the side. "Come on up, Don!" The man in the bunny costume walks up, the one with the jet back. He removes the bunny head and reveals himself. It is OOTN Don, and his afro has gotten all smushed while he wore the bunny head. I feel sorry for him. However, the wind comes along and makes it perk up nicely. He unzips the costume and steps out of it. He is wearing the outfit from the boat photo with jeans and a denim shirt with several buttons undone. He looks hot in more ways than one. Apparently the bunny costume made him very sweaty.

I'm watching all this on CNN, remember, and I'm delighted. "The Eagles are getting back together!" I say happily. Then I get confused. "I thought they fired Don Felder... maybe he was getting suspicious too... but then why did Glenn say they were reuniting was the Long Run line-up... Don Felder is in that lineup... something is not right here..."

Apparently all this confusion was too much for me, because that is when I woke up!

You know, despite the nonsensical elements, this was actually a pretty cohesive dream compared to some I've had!

[VAisForEagleLovers]

OMG!! I'm seriously

I love your dreams, Soda. I'll agree that HFO Glenn was sexy, his current look more than does it for me. Maybe the recent out-of-country tour brought this on? I do have to ask what you had to drink before going to bed, though!
