"Dreams" is a song by Fleetwood Mac from their eleventh studio album Rumours (1977). In the United States, "Dreams" was released as the second single from "Rumours" on March 24, 1977, while in the United Kingdom it was released as the third single in June 1977. A performance of "Dreams" on stage was used as the promotional music video.

In the US, "Dreams" reached the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100, the band's only number-one single there; it sold over a million copies. In Canada, "Dreams" also reached number one on the RPM Top 100 Singles chart.

The members of Fleetwood Mac were experiencing emotional upheavals while recording the Rumours album. Mick Fleetwood was going through a divorce. John McVie was separating from his wife Christine McVie. Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks were ending their eight-year relationship. "We had to go through this elaborate exercise of denial," explained Buckingham to Blender magazine, "keeping our personal feelings in one corner of the room while trying to be professional in the other."[2]

Nicks wrote the song in early 1976 at the Record Plant studio in Sausalito, California. "One day when I wasn't required in the main studio," remembers Nicks to Blender magazine, "I took a Fender Rhodes piano and went into another studio that was said to belong to Sly Stone, of Sly and the Family Stone. It was a black-and-red room, with a sunken pit in the middle where there was a piano, and a big black-velvet bed with Victorian drapes."

"I sat down on the bed with my keyboard in front of me," continues Nicks. "I found a drum pattern, switched my little cassette player on and wrote 'Dreams' in about 10 minutes. Right away I liked the fact that I was doing something with a dance beat, because that made it a little unusual for me."

"DREAMS" LYRICS
FLEETWOOD MAC - 1977

Now here you go again 

You say you want your freedom 

Well who am I to keep you down 
It's only right that you should 
Play the way you feel it 

But listen carefully to the sound 

Of your loneliness 
Like a heartbeat, drives you mad 
In the stillness of remembering what you had

And what you lost -
And what you had

And what you lost

Yeah, thunder only happens when it's raining 

Players only love you when they're playing 

Yeah, women they will come and they will go 

When the rain washes you clean, you'll know, you'll know

Now here I go again, I see the crystal visions

I keep my visions to myself 
It's only me 

Who wants to wrap around your dreams 
And have you any dreams you'd like to sell? 


Dreams of loneliness 
Like a heartbeat, drives you mad 
In the stillness of remembering what you had 

And what you lost -
What you had -
And what you lost

Thunder only happens when it's raining 
Players only love you when they're playing 

Yeah women they will come and they will go 

When the rain washes you clean, you’ll know

Oh, thunder only happens when it's raining

Players only love you when they're playing 

Say, women they will come and they will go 

When the rain washes you clean, you’ll know
You'll know, you will know
Ohhh, ohh ohh, you’ll know…..
