In My Dreams
Jackie Jackson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dream dream wow dream
Dream dream wow dream

Oh how sweet it can be
When I lay me down to sleep
Cause you always come to me
In my dreams
Girl I love we meet
When the world is fast asleep
And the things you do to me
In my dreams

Every night
Stars come out to play
Moving slight down the milky way
As we fly by they stop and wave
In my dreams

How we life how we love
We do anything we want
Oh the world stops for us
In my dreams

Yes darling they say dreams come true
And if they do
Some day I'll always be with you
But until that day let me say
I keep seeing you in my dreams

Every night
Stars come out to play
Moving slight down the milky way
As we fly by they stop and wave
In my dreams

Oh how I hate to wait
Just another lonely day
Things don't ever in us way
In my dreams





Dream dream wow dream
Dream dream wow dream

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Jackie Jackson's song In My Dreams describe the joy and comfort that comes with meeting a loved one in a dream. The singer speaks about how sweet it is to fall asleep knowing that the person he loves will come to him in his dreams. In those dreams, they can be together in a way that the real world does not allow, escaping the limitations of time and space. The singer describes a world where the stars come out to play, and they can do anything they want. The song suggests that the dream world may be just as meaningful as reality; it allows the singer to be with the person he loves, and they enjoy a place where the world stops for them.


The song speaks to the power of dreams and how they can provide a sense of connection, solace, and hope. Perhaps as the song suggests, dreams provide a glimpse of what could be, and a promise of a better tomorrow. The lyrics suggest that dreams should not be dismissed as fanciful or trivial but can serve as a refuge and a reminder of what is possible.
