      don't know if you were there for the 80s or not but yes you hit the nail on the head. I know shit wasn't perfect back then either. I remember the bomb drills and all that back in the early 80s at school. Now its active shooter drills. Which to me is a lot scarier than bomb drills. The things happening today are things they made horror movies about in the 80s

    I saw my first Moody Blues concert in 1968. Their music was set apart from the other bands of that era. Not acid rock or mindless lyrics. How many bands have been backed up by a complete orchestra? Still enjoying their music in 2024 as I did in 1968. Their music is timeless and unlike any other band.

    I was named after Justin Hayward. My dad loved this band. He died about 5 years ago. Before he passed, I asked him to let me know if he “made it there.”
    He died at 8:04 am March 12. That night, I woke up from the most vivid dream, bawling my eyes out. My dad, looking much younger, was knelt down, listening to our old stereo system. This song was playing, dad looked at me and sang, I wonder where you are, I wonder if you think about me? Once upon a time in your wildest dreams.
    He let me know he made it. I love you dad.

    I met my first wife when we were both teenagers, fell in love married and had two kids, we were very happy and life was good, until after 25 years she was diagnosed with liver cancer and passed away in 2001, I stayed alone until I met my second wife and we were together for 12 years and married for 6 until she too was taken ill with lung cancer and died in January 2017. I am 63 now and too old to try again. These two ladies helped me to have wonderful memories of my past full of love fun and happiness Gods gift to me if only for a little while, all of the Moody's songs have meaning for me and maybe a hope for the future, Thanks Moody's.

    I ran a concert trucking company in the early 90's. We trucked a summer tour with both the Moodies and Chicago, while many bands have ego issues, when the discussion began about who was the headliner and who was the opening act, the bands solver the problem by trading the headline and opening act position every other night. Both bands are class acts.

My father had suffered mild stroke. He pretty much recovered but he passed on in 1995. I had flunked out of college and felt that I was headed toward a life of disaster. However, it was something about his video that awakened something in me and I was able to take charge of my life. I eventually went back to school graduated. Went on to graduate school , earned a Ph.D. and became a college professor. I am 52 years old and a tenured full professor with numerous publications and a very distinguished career. God definitely intervened. Just goes to show , you never know how life can or will turn out!

    When I hear this song it brings tears to my eyes and memories. Then video is really a replay of my life of being a lead singer in a band and falling in love with the bass player Bennie....We had lost touch for 6 years and saw each other again. I had married and had kids. Bennie had not married but he was still chasing his music dreams. We kept in touch and my marriage didn't work out. We saw each other again years later and got married. We enjoyed 13 wonderful years together only to be parted by his death.
    Rest In Heaven Bennie...You are still in my wildest dreams ❤️

    I’m not a bass player, but always loved the bass/riffs in this song…
    They say times were simpler; they were. We had to create our own things to keep ourselves occupied and were more patient. Now, many households become single parents because we can’t settle differences and cell phones have become the thing that makes most of us closer physically more distant. We’ve done this to ourselves over time without really realizing it. All in making things easier, the thing that still matters most…is Time.

      This comment I posted this time last year I was really in my feels about my dad. I was missing him a lot and asking him to help me with my mom because I was starting to worry about her. I listened to this song for comfort and to feel closer to him. I had no idea how much worse things were going to get that day. Had to bring my mom to the emergency room on Father's Day because she was short of breath. Long story short she was diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer and passed 3 months later. Life is short and things change so quickly. This father's day I was mourning my dad as usual, but now entering the anniversary territory of everything that happened with my mom. Still in my 30s and have neither parent around or even a sibling. Guess I'll be surfing UA-cam looking for music that helps remind me of happier days with the people who brought me into this world as I continue on without them.

    There is something timeless about this song. I turned 32 the year it was released, and had already been married for eleven years, but something about it makes me feel that I was much younger when it came out. This year will be the 50th anniversary of my high school graduation, and this is taking me back that far. I guess I'm feeling old. I am still with that great guy I married so long ago - we'll get through this stage of our lives together, and with the soundtrack of our life.

    This song is about how life passes us all so quickly. At the moment we don’t realize how those past times would be so appreciated later in life. Life seems to be only memories of what has past. Why is it that the past always seems better than the present? Just another mystery in life that no answer can be found. Dream on, keep those memories close.

Eventually we broke up for several reasons and though we both married other people, I could never forget her and I still loved her. Every time I heard this song, I would think of her and wondered if she ever thought about me too. It turns out that she did; she too never forgot me and she was still in love with me. 40 years later, we found each other again. She is just as beautiful today as she was when she was 16 and we both promised to never lose each other again.

      Do you think I can find her again just like you did with the girl you knew long ago?
      The worst think is that I didn't get her name but I wonder why I've dreamed about her after all this time again? I hope somehow it's no coincidence that maybe she's thinking about me too
