The Dream
The Dune Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's a magical affair
We are carried in the air
In our dreams

And they take us by the hand
To the place where they stand
In our dreams
And they call us by our names
And they say we haven't changed
In our dreams

And we know that they don't lie
If they did they wouldn't cry
In our dreams, in our dreams, in our dreams

And we keep them in our heart
Only sleep keeps us apart
And the wind fills our sail
And the wind fills our sail

Sometimes they remain in silence
Sometimes they provoke the violence
Of our dreams

We are weak and they are strong
And they can carry us along
In our dreams

And in everything they say
There's a rule that we obey
In our dreams

We cherish each an every word
And then we lose them and it hurts
But we know that they live
In our dreams

And we keep them in our heart
Only sleep keeps us apart
And the wind fills our sail
And the wind fills our sail

We are the sailors of the dark
We are the sailors of the dark

It's a magical affair
When they whisper in the air
In our dreams

And the stories that they tell
We don't know but we know well
In our dreams

And they call us by our names
And they say that we have changed
In our dreams

And we need to stay together
'Cause their words we have to gather
In our dreams, in our dreams, in our dreams

And we keep them in our heart
Only sleep keeps us apart




And the wind fills our sail
And the wind fills our sail

Overall Meaning

"The Dream" by The Dune speaks to the enchanting and transformative power of dreams. The lyrics depict dreams as a mystical experience, where the individuals are lifted into the air, carried away from their reality. Dreams are portrayed as places where the dreamers are known, for they are called by their names and assured of their unchanged nature. The sincerity and authenticity of the dreams are emphasized, as it is highlighted that true dreams do not lie or fake emotions.


The song suggests that dreams have the ability to bridge the gap between the dreamer's conscious and unconscious selves. While asleep, the dreamers are connected to a deeper part of themselves, symbolized by the heart. However, sleep keeps them physically separated from these profound experiences, represented by the phrase "Only sleep keeps us apart." The wind filling their sails signifies the dreams propelling them forward, guiding them on their journeys.


At times, the dreams are silent, while other times they can stir up emotions that incite violence in the dreamers' inner worlds. The dreams are portrayed as powerful entities that can easily carry the dreamers along, playing a dominant role in their lives. The dreamers acknowledge that the dreams possess a certain authority and they obediently follow the rules set by them.


The lyrics suggest that the dreamers hold great reverence for the words spoken in their dreams. They cherish every word, yet also lament their loss when waking up. The dreams are considered as living entities, existing within the dreamers' subconscious minds, always available for exploration and guidance.


The dreamers are referred to as "sailors of the dark," symbolizing their willingness to venture into the unknown realms of their dreams. There is a sense of unity implied, as the dreamers are urged to stay together and gather the wisdom and guidance offered in their dreams. They understand the importance of preserving the connection to their dreams and the transformative power it holds.


Overall, the song "The Dream" by The Dune conveys the profound impact dreams have on our lives. It portrays dreams as a magical realm where the dreamers are known, guided, and transformed. It highlights the significance of cherishing and valuing the wisdom and guidance offered in dreams, while acknowledging the mystery and power that dreams hold over our subconscious selves.
