The Dream is an album released by ambient techno group The Orb in September 2007(U.S. release 17 June 2008). The album features somewhat of a return to the earlier sound of the Orb (notably, "The Truth Is..." features the same vocal sample as the group's early-90s single, "Blue Room"), and shares much more in common with their 2004 album Bicycles and Tricycles than with their minimal 2005 release, Okie Dokie It's the Orb on Kompakt.

The album is reported to be inspired by Kate Bush[1].

The album was first announced on The Orb's website, with a blurb revealing that the album would feature Orb creative force Alex Paterson collaborating with Youth, Steve Hillage, and Dreadzone's Tim Bran, among others.

The Japanese release of the album features the exclusive bonus track, "Let The Music Set You Free".
