This song is actually about a friend of theirs that was dying of cancer. It describes the dreams she was having, which served as ike a respite from the pain and suffering she was going through during her waking moments.

I am a black woman and I love this song. It's from the 80s. You should listen to it at least 2 more times after reading the lyrics, because you will have a better understanding of the song. That's why you seem a little baffle at what you're listening to. The song was a really big hit for the Heart sisters. And the song had a mystique kind of mystery to it. like a love song with symbolic images that's in this woman's dreams, it had a mystical feel to it about a woman singing about her mystical dreams of a prince and her broken heart.etc👸 💔🤴 🎆🌬️🌌✨☁️🛌🧜☁️🎆

I love your honesty. Most reactors are way too positive about songs.

Thank you. I was thinking same thing. Even though they ARE awesome she just wasn’t feeling it.

The Wilson sisters. The dark hair lady is Ann. The blonde is Nancy. They take turns certain songs for lead vocals

I LIKE that you give your honest take. If it doesn't touch you, it doesn't. No hate. :)

"Alone" is the next Heart tune to give a listen...very powerful song..

Great song, great band.

The only song I'm aware of with Nancy at lead vocals. She did a great job.

Most successful female rock band. Huge hit when it came out! Great power ballad. They have a great autobiography too if you are into that…it’s on audible if you don’t have time to read it. They are massive BEATLE fans…😂😂😂 Ann and Nancy Wilson…

LOL..." a good song" this song was HUGE !!! Heart's first Number one song.....first of over 20 and Hall of Fame career. Nancy Wilson sings lead on this masterpiece....but normally Ann Wilson sings lead. Heart is arguable the greatest Female lead Rock Band of all time...........very, very deeo treasure trove of songs dating back to the Mid 1970s. Research them..............and fall in LOVE with them ! (Like the rest of the universe has)

Don't feel bad. Just because we ALL love the heck out of the song and you've crushed our feelings into a pile of dust, don't give it another thought 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Seriously, we want your honest opinion. How else are we going to know what to send your way 😢😢😭 (I'll be alright ...) ???

Your reaction was honest, that's way better than acting like you love everything just to appease your followers.

Saw them in concert in D/FW Tx back when this album was peaking the charts back in the late 80's.

Not every song affects every person the same way it's OK! That's what is great about music! It is one of my favorite songs from them.

I love this song. It's such a beautiful ballad and her voice is wonderful on it.

Just blissful and soothing sounds, the 80s brought such diverse music

I’m sorry that this song missed the mark for you. I happen to love it for a couple of reasons. First of all it’s having Nancy Wilson on lead vocals. I’ve always loved Nancy from the first time I saw Heart live in the 70’s. She’s an amazing guitarist and her backing vocals to her astoundingly talented sister Annie are superb, but here she has the spotlight. Secondly, I love the message that your dreams can take you anywhere. “Every second of the night, I live another life”. To have a life is a blessing unto itself, but to experience a whole different life while you sleep is an even greater gift. Love what you do. Keep on rocking. ♥️ ✌🏼😎

the blonde is Nancy Wilson and the black hair is her Sister Anne Wilson

Written by Martin Page + Bernie Taupin. Produced by Ron Nevison. Engineered by Mike Clink. All-stars for writing + recording! 😃😃😃😃 Recorded at The Record Plant in Saucelito. North of San Francisco, birthplace of Nancy + ex drummer Denny Carmassi. 🌁 Nancy sings. 1 of her best singing efforts. 👩‍🎤 Suggested next song: Will You Be Tgere in the Morning. RIP Sharon Hess. Nancy dedicated this song to her.

We don’t hate you beautiful. I love the song but we want honest and real reactions. You’re keeping it real and that’s what makes you genuine. Xo

This is a sign of the times. The inability or unwillingness of people to communicate honestly. You had an honest reaction to a song you didn't like, but felt badly expressing that genuine opinion. This is the main reason I don't pay much attention to these 'reaction' videos anymore. EVERYONE LIKES EVERYTHING, and I would hope we all know that it doesn't work that way. I would never have come to this video since I don't like it, or alot of the sappy stuff they, and unfortunately, many other bands released later in their catalogue, but I saw you react to 'Barracuda' and your shock that this was the same group. Lol. It is hard to believe, isn't it. Kudos to you and your honesty, and while you may not have as many subscribers as some of the others, you will have more credibility. Thank you.

This whole album was great I wore it out.

The fact that this one didn't stir you just validates the genuineness of your reactions. I love Heart, but this is not one of my favorites. It has a good sound but its message escapes me. I like songs with a good sound and a meaning that resonates. Try "Alone" but make sure you get the video version. Ann Wilson pours her heart out vocally in that one, and Nancy Wilson jams with some crazy good guitar riffs.

There first number 1 hit. Hard to believe that crazy on you wasn’t a number 1.

Just as hard to believe "Babe" was Styx's first numero uno...when Grand Illusion was such a complete structure of audio artistry/industry.

The girls are Ann and Nancy Wilson.

The lyric that hits for me is "every second of the night, I live another life." Sometimes you just want to escape from your everyday life and you can only do so in your dreams.

Angela - Those beautiful eyes!! Yes, yours!! Okay the song. I am not sure rock songs are meant to be taken literally. Mark Lindsay told me once that he would only record songs that sold money. So, I guess the meaning of songs would come secondary or even none at all. I give you kudos just for listening to songs before your time in music. Don't be so hard on yourself. I love you for you being you.

Yes unfortunately in many of the videos they were trying to play up Nancy more than Ann because of her weight issues. That's one of the things music videos did for the music world, everybody would now have to have the look vs just being able to be a good musician.

Love your honesty as a reaction channel - not a fav song of mine either- however I LOVE Heart! PLEASE react to their 70’s hit “Magic Man.” My favorite!!💗✌️👍

You should watch the video of these two sisters 10 years before with the "Barracuda" video. Man were the smokin' back in the 70s.

I really like These Dreams but I appreciate your honesty. As you have already done Barracuda you should also do Crazy On You and then do Alone. I also love a lot of the songs on their Desire Walks On album. 70s heart is very different to 80s and 90s heart.

And Wilson and Nancy Wilson are actually sisters

Don't be at all concerned that you weren't feeling this one. Heart is great band but this is not the best introduction to their work... as soon as I saw this video was released I thought "Oh no, Angela's fallen into the trap of listening to '80s Heart before hearing '70s Heart!" This song is very representative of pop/glam '80s music in general and was a huge hit but the roots of Heart are in bangin' rock and roll. I'm so glad that you went on to listen to Barracuda, and I highly recommend other Heart work from that era including Crazy On You, Magic Man, Love Alive and Heartless. P.S. Same ladies, different hair. P.P.S. After listening to more '70s Heart definitely check out their Stairway to Heaven cover at Kennedy Center, it's amazing! P.P.P.S.

70's Heart vs 80's Heart is definitely two completely different things. Much the same as 70's Chicago vs 80's Chicago. I like them both in their own ways. But definitely don't evaluate either band only on what they did in the 80's. You'll miss a huge part of both.

Number one video of the decade on MTV.

Do more Heart!! Magic Man, Crazy on you!!!

I happen to like everything that they have sung. Everyone has their own opinion and you certainly are entitled to yours.

I love your honesty.

It's hard to review music from era's that you were not around for and you really cannot connect to as either a slow song or up tempo song. The 80's was the era of the power ballads and theses songs talked about life, love, death and just about anything. This song is being sung by the Wilson sisters from Heart which is a rock band that sang a power ballad song about the dreams they're having for the loss of a friend and how they're looking for going through that loss by the dreams they're having. Your reviews are very good 👍 and it's okay if you don't understand a song because music always changes.

Little known fact- anyone who loves grunge and the 90’s Seattle movement, most of those bands played and recorded their best work at the studio these two women opened up there. Both of them still regularly play with Jerry Cantrell

Don't feel bad. I love honest reactions..👍🏻

I was in studio in Vancouver when this album hit. We were given an early copy and asked to make our picks for order of release. "Never" was #1. Now as far as "These Dreams" it was all about the optics because Ann and Nancy were very easy to look at Sex Drugs and Rock 'n Roll

For me this song creates an atmosphere, I don't pay attention to the words, I just like the sound of it.

Totally agree! This song has always sounded like “winter” to me. And it always transports me to a very specific time in my life…lyrics aren’t a major component, like you said…its the “atmosphere” of the song

Ann is the powerhouse singer. She's the one with dark hair. Nancy is the blonde guitar player. I really like this song but I agree with drewb that Alone is better. You should check out Heart doing a cover of Stairway to Heaven in honor of Led Zeppelin at the Kennedy Center.

Co-written by Bernie Taupin...Elton Johns lyricist

Angela, it is impossible to hate you for your reactions! It is always best to be honest and straight up with your reactions - don't be a phony! Not every song is to everyone's taste! Please give them another try with either "Crazy On You", "Magic Man", "Never", "Alone", "Dog and Butterfly", "Barracuda", "love Alive", "All I Wanna Do Is Make Love To You", "Stairway To Heaven", and "The Battle of Evermore"! You will be impressed, trust me!!

Oh come on she's cool.

I remember when this video came out. Their look made my young man brain explode 😳 woof.

Hey do (Alone) by them I promise you will feel something from it.

She's looking for her prince.

And yes check out Alone as well

I admit I was wondering what would happen if you came across a song that either didn't move you much or that you just didn't like. You're being honest about what the song did or didn't do for you, and that's okay. It's good to see that you didn't fake it and talk about how good you thought the song was or go into histrionics over it. "Fake" wouldn't become you; it doesn't fit who you are; and I don't think you could be fake if you tried. The reality of who you are is what makes this channel. I've said it before: keep up the good work.

Check out Dog and Butterfly or Dreamboat Annie

"Alone" is much better representation of the best Heart from the 80's. They were just beginning to transfer their sound to what their studio desired for the 80's. You get to hear why Ann Wilson(dark hair) is considered one of the best female rock voices ever. The place they shine is in the 70's rock music, which was more them and less studio influence. This is a nice song, what it does is allow Nancy, (blonde,) to sing lead.

The dark haired lady is Ann Wilson, the normal lead singer and one of the greatest female vocalists of all time. She is also in the Song Writer's Hall Of Fame. The blonde singing lead on this particular song and playing guitar is her younger sister Nancy Wilson. Incidentally Nancy was selected by Gibson as the 8th greatest female guitar player of all time! Don't apologize because you didn't really like this song. I watch your reactions in large part because I appreciate your honesty. Heart has a very deep rabbit hole, I would recommend checking out their cover of "Stairway to Heaven " at the Kennedy Center honoring Led Zepplin. They brought Robert Plant to tears! kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZJeOwad_cdDQYJs.html

Not a bad song but Heart's older stuff is much better! Please react to some Baracuda, Magic Man ...drawing a blank at the moment but they have alot more!😁

No this song ist not about dreams at night while you sleep, but things you wish for in your life. If ya want das specifics of das dreams in this song? It ist not intended to express such specifics. But a personal interview with HEART about this song's meaning ist on das Web for anyone who has interest. :-) This ist not one of their better tunes...They have many others you will like though. :-)

Maybe venture into a little bit of Roxette. You can just pick a song from them and it's gold. Joyride, The Look, It Must Have Been Love, Listen to Your Heart, etc. They have a good selection of amazing songs.

Okay. I was expecting a really good profesional analysis of the song.

Angela, love your reactions. Please, please, please react to Barbra Streisand "Evergreen", "Memory", "Memories" (different song), "People", "You Don't Bring Me Flowers" and "Guilty" (with Barry Gibb) She has a phenomenal voice. the caliber of Karen Carpenter. Did I say please :-) Thanks

Check out a song called Silent Lucidity you'll be glad you did. Nobody every does this classic.

React to stranded.

Funny seeing those hair-metal visuals, while hearing a very polished production ballad. :^) This is quite a sophisticated song for a pop ballad - or at least, the verse part has some pretty slick chord voicings & progressions. The vocals are terrific - clear and perfectly in tune, but with that rock 'edge' to them. I'm a fan.

No clue

Heart gets you into some hard rock territory... not this song, though.

Not feeling anything? It was prob a Top 5 song...and their voices are incredible! Yea Angela I think yr having a bad day...do other Heart.

There are good songs and great songs and songs that remind you of the past and some songs are just for entertainment and really have no deep meaning

One of their soft-rock songs, not their best. Does well on the easy-listening channels.

I used to like this song Not anymore I'd like to recommend a song by LP titled Lost On You Give a listen The singers from Heart ate Anne and Nancy Wilson Goodbye

Maybe you didn't care for sister Nancy Wilson singing lead. Check out their live cover of Stairway to heaven from the Kennedy Center

Heart is not "hair metal." This was their '80s power ballad era, in which they did more pop than usual, but they are a straight-up rock band based on their early breakout songs from the '70s. (If you want to hear some great female '80s hair metal, check out Lita Ford's 'Kiss Me Deadly," which rocks in a hair metal way, though she has more of a quasi-punk rock background with the Runaways in the '70s with Joan Jett.) As others noted, Ann Wilson is definitely one of the greatest female rock vocalists ever. It would be a neck-and-neck race between her and Grace Slick, but I'd give Ann the edge. Nancy did fine with the vocals here, but her guitar skills are where she kills it.

She never answers anyone and this is a great song

You have no idea how iconic they are bringing women into rock. This song means soo much you have no idea..good try though

Womanp, they started in tje 70s!

You want to get more emotion and depth. Not a problem, go with "Magic Man". Want to rock out? Go with "Barracuda".

Oh you have to listen to their version of All I wanna do is make love to you !

One day you art to play a vido of aldo nova fantasy official vido one of a kind

A pleasant and enjoyable song, but probably the least representative of who Heart really were/are and the corniest video they ever produced.

saw/heard this song many times back in the 80's. they have great voices and it's a nice song, but the video sucked, with all this fake rocking and hair throws. i still like the song but laugh my ass off at the video. but hey, since it's Angela doing the reaction, i will watch. i am just not looking at the song's video feed. there is something else just as lovely to look at here.😘
