"...in my dream I was drowning my sorrows, but my sorrows they learned to swim...surrounding me, going down on me, spilling over the brim..."

"...she's gonna dream up the world she wants to live in...she's gonna dream out loud..."

"...set me alight...we'll punch a hole right through the night...everyday the dreamers die...to see what's on the other side..."

"...I awoke with a tear on my tongue...I awoke with a feeling of never before...in my sleep I discover the one, but she ran with the morning sun..."

This page is dedicated to all the dreamers out there...if you're a U2 fan, then I'm sure you've had them invade your dreams at least once (come on, you can admit it).  This is the place to share, so e-mail me your dreams, and I will post* them on this page.

[ *Note: you may remain anonymous if a dream is so painfully embarrassing that you don't even want to leave your initials in the fear that someone will figure out that it's you (you were doing WHAT with Bono?!?!?!) ]

This is a dream a few days ago...it was really strange! It was winter I was walking through a forest (in really deep snow I might add!). Adam and Larry were with me and they were all dressed up in winter clothes so they wouldn't get cold, but I was dressed in a long white dress. Funny thing is...I wasn't cold at all! While we were walking Adam put his hand on my shoulder and said "You know you can't do this". Then I looked over to Larry, who just nodded his head in agreement. We kept walking until we got to a curch (in the middle of the forest! Weird dream...!). Edge was standing at the steps going up to the door. I walked over to him but Adam and Larry stayed back. He took my hand and said "I'm sorry" then he lead me up the steps and opened the door for me, but he wouldn't go inside. So I walked inside and went over to the alter at the back of the curch. I stood there looking up at the stained glass windows with pictures of saints on them until I was startled by someone behind me. I turned around and saw that it was Bono. He was dressed all in black. He came over and hugged me. I was sad for some reason (I really don't know why since I would actually be sad if Bono hugged me!) but in any event...I started crying. Bono stood back and looked upset. He said "You said you wouldn't love me" then he took me back outside to the steps then turned around to face me. He said "Go home" then he went over to where Adam, Larry , and Edge were waiting and they walked back into the forest. I stood there until I couldn't see them anymore then I got REALLY cold so I went back inside. It was still cold in there though...so I fell asleep in the church. That's when I woke up. I felt sad for the rest of the day! :-(  Alexandra

Well, first thing I think I have to say is that Bono is the sexiest and generally the best-looking man I've seen in my life.  And I don't really care if he's short or what...it just doesn't matter.  He just has such a beautiful, deep, wise eyes...line of his chin, mouth, even ears !  I am crazy about him, he's my idol, so I love looking at him.  And listening to him too, OF COURSE !!!!!!  As I remember I've always had U2-dreams.  Most of them were about concerts.  Any concerts-POP MART, ZOO TV, The Joshua Tree Tour..everything.  It was fantastic for me, because I actually have never been to any U2 show.  So..during these gigs, as the guys were playing "With Or Without You" Bono was taking me onstage...and we were dancing, and...I think you can imagine what does the girl feel when the loveliest man in the Universe takes her dancing.  It feels like your heart is about to explode, do you know this feeling?  If you're a huge U2 Fan, you probably know it.  So, that's what MOST of my Bono-dreams are about.  I had also very many other dreams, but now I find it hard to remind what exactly were they about.  But I remember one of them quite good.  In this dream myself and Bono were spending a holiday together.  Yes, we did (only in this dream of course !).  I know it's a bit stupid.  We were in Delphi, Greece ( really cool place to visit, I've been there once), going sightseeing, walking the mountains, just hanging round together.  Just me & Bono.  It's silly, don't you think ?  Of course, everyone has ( so do I ) dreams in a sort of it's-not-available-for-you-if-you're-under-18.  It's pretty cool, I must admit.  Nothing more comes to my mind right now.  I finish, cause I imagine how boring it is.  Sometimes when I start typing, I just can't stop.  Ju2lia

I have had many dreams of Bono and the guys where should I start.  Some I can't mention here and now but I will let you know that if I wake up from them I always have a smile on my face and I can't wait to get back to sleep.  To me I think Bono is the best looking man I have ever seen in my entire life of 24 years.  If you have ever had the pleasure of dreaming of his blue eyes and nose and chin (and the scar on that luscious chin) you will surely be in total heaven with a god.  Anonymous

Well..I found this piece of paper in the back of my old diary..it turned out to be a VERY strange U2 dream I had on 12/19/91!  Wow..flashback!   hehe..I was 13 at the time..here we go: I dreamed I was at my Grandma's house and the members of U2 were there and I was talking to Adam (he had tiny little clusters of water blisters on his ears for some reason and the "poofy blonde fro") about the Edge cause his face looked very shrunken and cracked.  He told me Edge got liposuction done on his cheeks because he thought they were too chubby.  Then I overheard my grandma saying that somehow Bono and me were related.  I asked her how and she wouldn't tell me.  So i got kinda mad that I didn't know and walked into her living room..and there was Edge & Bono playing & rehearsing guitar parts in one of their songs and Edge kept getting it wrong.."Oh yeah! THat's a different song!", he would say..over & over.  Bono just gave up and walked away, shaking his head.  I went up to my Mom and asked her how Bono & I were related and she told me "nevermind"..that its not for me to know.  I got really suspicious and got the courage to ask Bono myself..but he would not tell me!  He had this shirt on that I was tryin' to read..a cream colored t-shirt on with the words "U2 is SEX" or something like that and I looked at Bono and he just started cracking up..so I pulled off his black leather vest and he spun around to show me the back of his shirt..it had little pictures of them as cartoon characters dancing, singin, having sex..and other stuff.  (haha!)  Suddenly, U2 was leaving..everyone crowded around the door to say goodbye.  I pushed though the crowd of people I've never seen before and poked Bono in the arm and said, "Please..tell me how we are related!?"  He took me outside in the freezing cold and the door shut us out..he looked me in the eye.  "I'm very sorry..I cannot tell you..but you'll always be close to me here..", he said as he pointed to his heart.  (awww!  *sniffs* hehe)  He grabbed me and started huggin' me..and he was SO warm!  When I looked up he was smiling and suddenly leaned down and (get ready!  haha) LICKED my lips really quick for no reason at all.  I started to wipe off his saliva (why?!!  hehe) but he started saying something about "where did you get" something..he repeated it and said: "what kind of perfume are you wearing? and where did you get it??" I told him, "It's lavender..and I got it from my..." "GRAMUM!!", he yelled, " I knew it!"  I looked at him weird..and he reached into his pocket and pulled out a bottle of Love's Soft Jasmine perfume and he told me.  "Yer Gramum gave me a bottle too..she's very sweet."  Then Adam, Larry & Edge came out and were yelling at each other about who gets to ride in front of the tour bus.  Then I woke up..=(  What a strange one, eh? not to mention kinda embarrassing..hehe.  ~AMB

I've been talking to Bono in my dreams.  He gave me all the U2 t-shirts that existed.  He said he had seen me at the concert in Rotterdam 18-06-97 and that I behaved very well.  I had a perfect day after the dream, it was like I really met him!!  My mother woke me and the first thing I said was: "I was talking with Bono!"  My mother thought I went crazy and came back to it very often.  Arjen van der Donk, Netherlands

I had this dream before I went to see U2's Popmart concert at Soldier Field in Chicago.  The dream consisted of me and my best friend Casey going back stage before the concert in search of Bono, The Edge, Adam, and Larry.  We seriously wanted to get their autograph.  We found The Edge and Adam (Larry was off somewhere, not sure where) and they were sitting outside the dressing room, waiting for Bono to come out.  Casey asked Edge what was up with Bono and Edge answered that Bono had a headache and couldn't find any tylenol.  So, Casey, being the good guy he is, said that he'd be more than happy to run and get the ailing popstar some tylenol.  Bono, at this point, came out of his room and says "I'm up for a roadtrip and we've got time.  I say we all go."  So, we all pile into Casey's Cadillac Fleetwood (this car would have done Bono proud, it was sooo awesome and I guess you could almost call it MacPhisto-esque) and head off to Wal-Mart.  For the rest of the dream, we wandered around Wal-Mart in search of tylenol for Bono, eventually found some and then went back to the concert, where Casey and I got to enjoy it from the front row!  It was truly a fantastic dream.  Jessica Gooch

I once had a dream that Bono was Mr. Macphisto (DEVIL MAN IS SEXY) even though I may be a Christian like Bono I believe that religion is the enemy of God.  Anyhow my dream was that Mr.M and the fly where fighting over the domination of the Earth.  I don't know what it is maybe it's all the C.S Lewis getting stuck in my head but Mr.M won.  I personally recommend reading C.S.Lewis "The Screwtape Letters" because you can get an insight into Bono and the character Mr. Macphisto.  In conclusion I leave with a quote that may only make sense to performers of any sorts: "Man is least himself when he is his own person; give him a mask and he will tell you the truth" - Oscar Wilde. When you read this think of Bono for you have a greater insight into his "world."  Lita

I had this dream that I met Bono and the rest of U2 the day before the U2 concert in Toronto.  I was alone waiting to go on a subway when I saw my friend Dominic.  He says to me "Look there goes U2" I see them, then I start to run after them.  They were in a hurry to get on the subway.  I stop Bono and I shake his hand saying "I know you guys are in a hurry but, you guys are my idols.  I have enjoyed your music for years and you are practically the only band I listen too."  Bono continues to shake my hand and gives me a half-smile look.  Then, The Edge looks at me and turns away entering the subway. I say to Edge "You too Edge!"  David Alter

This summer, about a week before I went to PopMart in Winnepeg (June 12th) I dreamt that my sister and I were hanging out in a very small town in Southern Minnesota.  It was hot, and hazy, and all of a sudden 3 huge charter busses and a few semi-trucks pulled into town.  They stopped in the parking lot where we were and Bono, Adam, Larry, and The Edge stepped out.  They were taking an afternoon break during their tour.  Then, we all helped unload some of their gear into a nearby warehouse, and they jammed for awhile, polishing their songs.  It reminded me of the warehouse/jam session in Rattle and Hum (which is VERY interesting, since I didn't see Rattle and Hum until AFTER I'd dreamt this).  Well anyway, they were very friendly, and my sister and I couldn't believe we could be so lucky, and then they invited us on tour with them.  As we were hopping on the bus, I woke up. Needless to say, I wanted to go right back to sleep, because I was in heaven.  Anne Johnson

I've had this dream a few times, but in different ways.  In all of them, I'm ON STAGE with U2 playing for the Edge (I'm an Edge freak - know all the guitar music to all the songs, etc!).  Edge is there, but he's letting me play for him.  The First time I had the dream, it was ZooTV and it was in an auditorium.  I had all of Edge's effects and his guitars.  Next time, after I saw PopMart, my dream was of PopMart.   This time, I was again playing for the Edge, but it was MUCH more realistic.  Even though I could play every note of the ZOO TV and PopMart concerts, I couldn't remember the notes to play in my dream.  So weird.  Dallas Schoo (Edge's guitar tech) kept coming out to tell me I was doing fine and to hand me new guitars.  The only song I played properly was 'Please', and the crowd loved it.  Mike Fraser

I can't remember the details exactly anymore because this dream was a couple of months ago, I think.  Anyway, I dreamed that I was sitting in church on Sunday morning and Bono walked in and started singing in front of the congregation.  I think the rest of the band was there too, but I mostly remember seeing Bono.  In my dream, I was SO excited that he was actually there!  I remember not being able to believe that Bono was there, at MY church singing!  Nobody else recognized that it was him, and I couldn't believe that either!  I remember thinking in my dream that it was really lucky that no one recognized him because then I would get to talk to him!  Then I remember church got out and Bono was out in the hallway/entryway and I was trying to get to him......then I woke up!  It was really exciting because I felt like it actually happened!  I thought about that dream the whole day.  I think I know the reason why I dreamt it.  The choir at my church sounds really great-it's like the main activity/organization at my church.  I remember telling my cousin that the choir should sing "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" the gospel version on Rattle and Hum, and wouldn't it be great if Bono walked in and started singing?! (Kind of like in the movie Rattle and Hum...except my Lutheran church doesn't get as worked up!) So....that's probably why I dreamt it.  I've had other U2 dreams (well, Bono dreams) but I can't remember them.  If only dreams came true!  Angela - October 13, 1997

It began with me working outside on my apple farm in Washington State.  I was picking apples to be processed for overseas transport when, for some strange reason, I looked down from my ladder and The Edge was talking with my father about the alar scare that has effected the apple crops. (Alar is a pesticide that apple growers use...it has been rumored carcinogenic.)  Then, for some strange reason, my father called him a "bloody bloke".  That made me very upset so I jumped from my ladder and landed on top of my father and just started to hit him with unimaginable fury.  I wanted to stop but I couldn't control myself.  After I finally became merciful, I ran off into the orchard towards town.  Well, I guess my mind was having fun that night because while I was running, a tall brunette caught up to me and stopped me in my tracks. She was trying to console me using only various lines from multiple U2 songs!!!!  Strangely, although she was beautiful, I just slowly backed away from her as if I was scared. The whole time this was happening, the song "Daddy's Going to Pay for Your Crashed Car" was filling the air. That must have been too much because then I woke up then...strange.  J.P.Kraig 

One night I dreamt about standing outside of my house and looking down the street and seeing Bono and Adam walking.  I started screaming and running after them even though I knew I'd never actually do that in real life.  Well they didn't see me and kept on walking and pretty soon I lost them.  Then I went back inside my house and all four members of U2 were inside my house.  I went over to Larry and started talking to him.  I showed him my drumset and he started playing it and teaching me some things.  Then I woke up.  I also had another dream about going to my uncle's house in upstate PA and sitting on the deck on a swing looking at the beautiful mountain landscape.  U2 was inside the house and Larry came over to me and sat next to me and we just stared at the mountain together.  And then later Bono, Larry, Adam, and Edge, and I were walking along the dirt road and Bono stopped and walked over to a corn field and began singing Where the Streets Have No Name.  It was like a music video.  Anne

One dream that I remember is from a long time ago - probably pre-Achtung Baby, but I'm not really sure.  I went into a small auditorium (like one in a school), and U2 was to play there.  There was hardly anybody there at all.  I walked up in front and got a front row seat, and then Bono came out to sing.  His voice didn't sound too good, and up-close his face was white and wrinkled and he was wearing red lipstick - he looked really sad and pathetic.  And I remember feeling sorry for him.  How he looked now reminds me of his MacPhisto get-up - the faded rockstar...  When I saw the ZooTv Sydney video, I instantly remembered this dream.  N.M.M.

Okay, I'll try to write as much as I remember about this...  I went to the U2 concert on June 8th, and in this dream, there was another concert added the day after.  It was added that day, so not many people knew about it.  I had the same exact seats as the previous night, right next to the b-stage (so close and yet so far away).  So, anyway, Bono was doing his thing right in front of me, and all of a sudden he comes up to me and picks me to come up on stage with him!  So I'm all ready to dance with him and everything, but instead we sit down on the edge of the stage and talk for a while, oblivious to the whole concert thing going on around us.  Then I think we both realized that there was a concert going on and the people would want to hear some music, so we both looked up.  The only people there were the people with floor seats - the stadium was empty!  But U2 still put on an amazing show, and I got a chance to talk to Bono!  But only in my dreams, of course... ;o).  N.M.M. - August 3, 1997
