    Following last week's theme of one-night stands, we remain in the bedroom, but for very different reasons. The topic is dreams, always a fertile source of musical inspiration. Of course, the easy option, especially for those with iTunes, is to pick out songs with the word in the title but there are many less obvious examples - take, for example, the line from Tim Buckley's Song to the Siren: "Did I dream you dreamed about me?" Please stick to the dreams that come with sleep rather than the Martin Luther King ("I have a dream") or Crowded House (Don't Dream It's Over) varieties.
