dream pop

Dream pop is a musical genre closely related to shoegaze, which originated in 1980s Britain with bands like the Cocteau Twins. It tends to be less associated with the walls of noise characteristic of shoegaze, and more with dreamy soundscapes and ethereal vocals. The vocals in dream pop tend to be more audible than those in shoegaze. The songs in general tend to have a more accessible, pop-orientated sound, and are less aggressive.

Many people erroneously use "dream pop" as a synonym for shoegaze. Some also argue that dream pop is in fact a subgenre of shoegaze.

Broken Social Scene, Yo La Tengo, Asobi Seksu, Cocteau Twins, Slowdive and Lush have all been associated with the term "dream pop".

Nested dream

When you awake in another dream, and think it's reality.

I awoke because of earthquake ruining my house, then I saw in window two bycicles riding on rainbow, I was not sure if I'm still dreaming or not. Then I awoke for real and realized it was nested dream… it looked so real!

Hood dreams

Ghetto dreams of big chains and big fame. Usually dreamt by a brotha's living in the projects, off their mamma's welfare check.

Basically dreams that involve anything of an extraordinarily big size, because big=success.

e.g. big rims, Phat booty etc

I used to have hood dreams, big fame, big chains, i stuck my d*ck inside this life until that b*tch came.

sweet dreams

Made of these. Who am I to disagree? I've traveled the world and the seven seas, everybody's looking for something! Some of them want to use you, Some of them want to get used by you, some of them want to abuse you, and some of them want to be abused.

Sweet dreams are made of these. Who am I to disagree? I've traveled the world and the seven seas, everybody's looking for something!

pipe dream

A vain dream that will never happen, given the harsh reality of life.

World peace and human equality are examples of pipe dreams because humans are more naturally inclined to kill off their competition than to cooperate.
