Dreams to Remember: The Otis Redding Anthology is a 1998 compilation album by Otis Redding. Advertised as a stopgap between the greatest hits album Very Best Of and the boxset Otis! The Definitive Otis Redding,^[1] this two-disc album offers most of Redding's greatest hits, a few album tracks and 4 live recordings taken from The Monterey International Pop Festival. In his review for All Music Guide, Stephen Thomas Erlewine states that while the music on the album is superb, it tries to be both a best of and a box set and so fails at both.^[2]

The album sold in excess of 40,000 copies and was voted 147th on the 500 greatest albums of all time by Rolling Stone Magazine. ^[3]
