"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.
The song is dedicated to Yetunde Price (the elder half-sister of tennis stars 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 of the song was released 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 featuring The Notorious B.I.G. from Jay-Z's 2002 album The Blueprint 2: The Gift & the Curse. It combines a chopped and screwed version of B.I.G.'s acapella verse on "A Dream" with 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 music video shoot for the song was where Dr. Dre first met Bishop Lamont who he eventually signed to Aftermath.
