"Dreamin'" is a song released as an iTunes single (the fourth from the album) from alternative rock band Weezer's Sixth album, Weezer. It was released in digital form on May 27, 2008.[1]

In the booklet for the Rivers Cuomo's demo compliation album Alone, Cuomo describes how the song This is the Way was originally going to be used for The Red Album over Dreamin', then called Daydreamer. Eventually, Cuomo was able to persuade other band members to choose the "epic, 6-minute, symphonic type of art song" Dreamin' instead.[2]

Brian Bell has commented that this song was written in the sonata form and the breakdown of the song has a formal name ("The Dream Sequence") and that it is his proudest moment on the record [3].
