"Dreams" is a song by the British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac, written and sung by Stevie Nicks for the band's eleventh studio album, Rumours (1977). In the United States, "Dreams" was released as the second single from Rumours in March 1977, while in the United Kingdom, the song was released as the third single in June 1977.[2] A stage performance of "Dreams" was used as the promotional music video.

In the US, "Dreams" sold more than one million copies and reached the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100,[3] the band's only number-one single in the country. In Canada, "Dreams" also reached number one on the RPM Top 100 Singles chart.[4]

In late 2020, the song experienced a widespread resurgence in popularity as a result of a viral TikTok video created by Nathan Apodaca. The song subsequently re-entered national music charts and also entered the Spotify and Apple Music charts in certain countries.[5] "Dreams" was ranked number nine on Rolling Stone's 2021 list of the "500 Greatest Songs of All Time".[6]
