Suzanne Vega, *Book Of Dreams *
You forgot Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat???
:(
:mad:
dubious:
Joseph’s Dream, Sog of the King and Any Dream will Do.
Also “Pilate’s Dream” from Jesus Christ Superstar, “Stranger than You Dreamt It” from Phantom and “New Ways to Dream” from Sunset Boulevard.
And The Green, Green Grass of Home:
Then I awake and look around me, at the four grey walls that surround me
and I realize, yes, I was only dreaming.
For there’s a guard and there’s a sad old padre -
arm in arm we’ll walk at daybreak.
Again I touch the green, green grass of home.
Yes, they’ll all come to see me in the shade of that old oak tree
as they lay me neath the green, green grass of home.
And Bob Dylan’s Dream, and best of all, Talkin’ World War III Blues
“Last night a crazy dream came to me
I dreamt I was walking in World War II
I went to the doctor the very next day
To see what kind of words he could say
He said it was a bad dream
I wouldn’t worry none
Them old dream are only in your head”
and then
You can can be in my dream if I can be in yours.
And Bob Dylan’s 115th Dream is one of the few dream songs which are really like a dream.
Bob also has a Series of Dreams

Hello darkness, my old friend
I’ve come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence

“I was once out strolling one very hot summer’s day
When I thought I’d lay myself down to rest
In a big field of tall grass
I laid there in the sun and felt it carressing my face
As I fell asleep and dreamed
I dreamed I was in a hollywood movie
And that I was the star of the movie
This really blew my mind”
