Dreams is the third official (fourth overall) single by rapper The Game, taken from his debut album, The Documentary. It is produced by Kanye West and features a sample of "No Money Down" by Jerry Butler. This is also where Dr. Dre first saw Bishop Lamont eventually signed him to Aftermath
It is dedicated to Yetunde Price (the elder half-sister of tennis superstars Serena Williams and Venus Williams), who was shot dead on September 14 2003. The Williams' also came from The Game's hometown, of Compton, California.
A remix was made of this song on The Game's mixtape, You Know What It Is Vol. 3. It is a mix between Dreams and A Dream, which is a track by Jay-Z featuring The Notorious B.I.G., and is on Jay Z's 2002 album The Blueprint 2: The Gift & the Curse. It uses a chopped and screwed version of the acapella of B.I.G.'s verse on A Dream, and the instrumental of Dreams. There is also another remix of the song with Trey Songz where The Game raps his normal 1st & 3rd verse and Trey Songz singing the 2nd verse.
The song was well received by critics due to standout verses by The Game.
