When I Dream

When I Dream is an album by the American country music singer Crystal Gayle. Released in 1978 at the height of Gayle's career, it was her second consecutive #2 Country Album on the Billboard charts. Two singles from the album reached #1 on the Country SIngles chart: "Talking in Your Sleep" (also a Top 20 Pop hit) and "Why Have You Left the One You Left Me For". The title song, "When I Dream", is a re-recorded version of a song that appeared originally on her 1975 début album Crystal Gayle, and reached #3. A fourth single, "Heart Mender", peaked at #58. "Hello I Love You" was featured in the 1982 movie, 'Six Pack', starring Kenny Rogers, Erin Gray, and Diane Lane.

The album achieved a gold disc the year it was released but was certified platinum by the RIAA in 1982. It was also Gayle's second album to chart in the United Kingdom, where it reached #25 and was awarded a silver disc by the British Phonographic Industry.
