Rock Dream is a collaborative live album between Merzbow (Japanese noise musician Masami Akita) and Japanese experimental doom band Boris. The 2CD release consists of material recorded at a live show from 2006 entitled "Boris with Merzbow Oneman". The Southern Lord version has a die cut cover and is limited to 5000 (machine numbered). "Flower Sun Rain" is a cover of the Japanese super-group PYG. The vinyl version contains the bonus track "Dyno-Soar" which is not available on the CD version.
