Dreams is the third offical (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.
Remixes
Currently, two official remixes exist of this song. The first can be found on The Game's mixtape You Know What It Is Vol. 3, and this version is a mash-up between Dreams and A Dream, which is a track by Jay Z featuring Notorious BIG, 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 A Dream, and the instrumental of Dreams.
The second remix features R&B singer Trey Songz, who replaces The Game on the second verse. It is notable that the second verse on this remix is double the length of the second verse of the original version.
