It’s just too complicated right now to explain why I need to know this, but I’m looking for songs that either a.) have the word “Dream” in the title or b.) are about sleep and dreams. The only ones I could think of right off the bat were “Mr. Sandman” and “Dream a Little Dream Of Me.” All advice appreciated! 🙂 ---

Sleeping Analeah (don’t know who wrote it, my copy is a cover by Nick Cave) I Go To Sleep - Chrissie Hynde/The Pretenders In Dreams - Roy Orbison Dreaming - Olivia Newton John Sleeplessly Dying - can’t remember. Some gothy chic from the 80s. (All I have to do is) Dream - Roy Orbison I Have A Dream - Abba That’s about all I can think off, offhand. My taste in music is obviously quite, quite disturbing. ---

Ev’ry single night they’re driving me insane. Those men inside my brain. The dream police, they live inside of my head. (live inside of my head.) The dream police, they come to me in my bed.

Bob Dylan’s _Talkin’ World War III Blues_ is the story of his dream where he’s the only survivor. This might be the one **Reality Chuck** referred to, I don’t know. ---
