Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lover, take me in your dream
Take me anywhere you please
Boy, you're making me scream
Dream a dream
Lover, love is just a dream
If you want to set me free
Ooh la da de, la da da
You gotta dream a little dream
Ho! One more time
I'm back with a new rhyme
Hey, here we go again
Turn it up my friend
No, we don't stop
We rock this spot
No, we don't quit
Give it all ya, this is it
Do you like to dream?
Hey, I like to dream baby
Do you like to dream?
Ho, I like to dream momma
Do you like to scream?
Hey, I like to scream baby
Do you like to scream?
Ho, then scream it out
Dream a dream
Lover, take me in your dream
Take me anywhere you please
Boy you're making me scream
Dream a dream
Lover, love is just a dream
If you want to set me free
Boy, you're making me scream
Ooh la da de, la da da
You gotta dream a little dream
The lyrics to Dance Dance Revolution's song "Dream a Dream" suggest that the song is about a lover who wants to be taken away into a dream world by their significant other. They long for their partner to make them feel alive and they express this through ecstatic screaming. The song, however, teases the idea of love being "just a dream" and that if the lover wants to set them free, they will continue to scream.
The chorus of "Dream a Dream" centers around the idea of dreaming and encourages the listener to "dream a little dream." The phrase "ooh la da de, da da" that follows the chorus can be seen as a lighthearted interlude between the dreamy lyrics.
The second verse transitions from love and dreaming to a more upbeat and typical pop song subject matter. The rapper introduces himself and encourages the listener to turn up the music because they are not stopping or quitting anytime soon. The verses juxtapose with the dreamy chorus to create a fun and dynamic song.
In summary, "Dream a Dream" is a song that romanticizes the idea of being in a dream world with a lover while being mixed with more mainstream pop sounds. The lyrics encourage the listener to open themselves up to love and the idea of dreaming.
