"Dreams" is a song by Irish rock band the Cranberries. It was released in 1992 as the band's debut single, later appearing on the studio album Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We? A 1990 version was released in Ireland only in the summer of that year. It reached the top 40 on the US Hot 100 Airplay and the top 30 on the UK Singles Chart in early 1994. The backing vocals on the song are sung by Mike Mahoney, ex-boyfriend of Cranberries lead singer Dolores O'Riordan. This hit was also a main feature of the Cranberries in the 1994 Woodstock Revival Festival. In 2017, the song was released as an acoustic, stripped down version on the band's Something Else album.
