Dream, After Dream, performed by the American rock band Journey, is the soundtrack album to the Japanese romantic fantasy film Yume, Yume No Ato directed by fashion designer Kenzo Takada. Released in 1980 on Columbia Records, it was the seventh album-length recording by the group. The soundtrack firmly overshadowed the film itself, which enjoyed little fame. The album was a significant departure from the hard rock which characterized the band's three preceding albums, harking back to their progressive rock beginnings and relying on complex musicianship and instrumentals.

Dream, After Dream features a full vocal on three of its nine tracks, "Destiny", "Sand Castles" and "Little Girl". "Little Girl" was later released as the B-side of the "Open Arms" single and is featured on Journey's Time3 collection. It also appears as a bonus track on the 2006 reissue of Departure and the 2011 edition of Greatest Hits 2. "The Rape" is essentially an orchestral arrangement of "Conversations" from their debut album.

Dream, After Dream is the last studio album to feature founding member Gregg Rolie.
