Dream Journey (Japanese: イドリームジャーニー, foaled 24 February 2004) is a Japanese Thoroughbred racehorse and sire.
As a juvenile in 2006 he won three of his four races including the Grade 1 Asahi Hai Futurity Stakes and received the JRA Award for Best Two-Year-Old Colt. In the following season he contested all three legs of the Japanese Triple Crown but recorded his only success of the year in the Kobe Shimbun Hai. As a four-year-old he won the Kokura Kinen and the Asahi Challenge Cup. He reached his peak in 2009 when he won the Osaka Hai, Takarazuka Kinen and Arima Kinen and was voted Best Older Male Horse in Japan. He remained in training until 2011 but failed to win in his last two seasons.
After his racing career ended, Dream Journey was retired to become a breeding stallion but has had little success as a sire of winners.
