Fly Like An Eagle -- Sort Of

You know the dream. You're flying, soaring through the air with nothing but the whistle of wind in your face and your eyes gazing over the land below. This is of course followed by a terrifying plummet and you wake screaming and lying in a puddle of cold sweat. Fun times.

In one of our favorite clips from BBC's "Animal Camera," we are treated to a real-life version of that same dream -- but fortunately, only that first good part. Watch as a lightweight camera is attached to the head of a golden eagle in Scotland and experience this true bird's eye view of the vast landscape below. It is nothing less than stunning. And it would make for an awesome dream if, just once, that dream didn't turn into a night terror.

Hmm... maybe we should look into taking Ambien after all..
