In the dark,
and I’m right on the mid dle mark;
I’m just in the tier of ev ’ry thing that rides be low the sur face.
And I watch
from a dis tance, sev en teen,
oh, the short of the oth ers’ dreams of be ing gol den and on top.
and It’s not
what you paint ed in my head;
they there’s so much there in stead of all the col ors that I saw.
We (C#m)all
are liv ing in a (E)dream,
but life ain’t what it (Amaj7)seems.
Oh, ev ’ry thing’s a mess.
And all
the sor rows I have (E)seen,
they lead me to be (Amaj7)lieve
that ev ’ry thing’s a mess.
But (C#m)I wan na dream,
I wan na dream;
leave me to dream.
In the eyes
of a teen age, crys tal lized,
oh, the pret ti the est of lights that hang the hall ways of the home;
and the cries
from the stran gers out at night,
they don’t keep us up at night; we have the cur tains drawn and closed.
We (C#m)all
are liv ing in a (E)dream,
but life ain’t what it (Amaj7)seems.
Oh, ev ’ry thing’s a mess.
And all
the sor rows I have (E)seen,
they lead me to be (Amaj7)lieve
that ev ’ry thing’s a mess.
But (C#m)I wan na dream,
I wan na dream;
leave me to dream.
In the eyes
(C#m)(Ooh,
(E)ooh,
oh,
(C#m)oh.)
I know all your rea sons to keep me from see ing (Amaj7)ev ’ry thing is ac tual ly a mess.
But now I am leav ing, out of this world re treat ing.
(Amaj9)Ev ’ry thing is ac tual ly a mess.

I wan na dream;
leave me to dream.

About “Dream”
- Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "Dream"?
- Yes — the score is rendered server-side from the publisher MusicXML using Verovio (the same engine RISM and OpenScore use). Standard piano notation, treble + bass staves, real chord symbols, key signature C#. Print-quality and identical to what you'd see in a printed piano book.
- What key is "Dream" by Imagine Dragons played in?
- Dream is arranged in the key of C# on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.
- What's the tempo (BPM) of "Dream"?
- The arrangement plays at 72 BPM. Use the speed control (10-200%) to practice slower or play faster.
- Is "Dream" easy to play on piano?
- This is a medium-difficulty arrangement. Most players can learn it within a few practice sessions using the speed control.
- Can I download sheet music for "Dream"?
- Yes — registered users can download PDF sheet music, plus MIDI and MusicXML files for use in other notation software.
- Who composed "Dream"?
- "Dream" was originally performed by Imagine Dragons. The Super Simple Piano arrangement is simplified for beginner-to-intermediate players.
- What chords are used in "Dream"?
- This arrangement uses 10 chords: A, Amaj7, Amaj9, B, C#m, C#m7, C#min, C#sus4, +2 more.
- What other songs by Imagine Dragons can I play here?
- Try "ON TOP OF THE WORLD", "BIRDS", "AMSTERDAM". All are in our player with color-coded notes; pick the one matching your level.
- Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
- Yes — "Dream" is rendered at engraver quality (the Verovio engine, the same toolkit RISM and OpenScore editions use) from the original publisher MusicXML. You get standard piano notation: treble + bass clefs, key signature C#, time signature, beams, dynamics — everything a printed sheet music book would have. Great for piano students learning to read music properly.
- What's the difference between Sheet Music and the other modes here?
- Sheet Music is the "classic" view — the one your piano teacher uses. Other modes (Beginner, Fall Down, Simple Sheet, Lead Sheet) trade real notation for color-coded notes and falling shapes to help absolute beginners. Use Sheet Music once you're ready to read both hands at once from real notation.
- Can I practice from this view at my own pace?
- Yes — slow the tempo from 72 BPM down (or up) without changing the pitch. The score scrolls in time and the currently playing note is highlighted, so you can drill a tough bar at half speed and bump it up once it feels comfortable.
- Why can I click a note in the score?
- Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
- Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
- Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
