"Dreaming" is a song by English electronic band Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark initially released in January 1988 as a single from their compilation album, The Best of OMD.
It was a hit in the United States, reaching number 16 on the Billboard Hot 100, number 17 on the Cashbox Top 100 and number 6 on the Dance chart.
The track had limited success in the band's home country where it peaked at number 50 on the UK Singles Chart, while it entered the Top 40 in several other countries including Australia, New Zealand and Germany. The single was re-released in the UK in June 1988 in new 7" gatefold and CD single as well as 12" formats, reaching this time number 60 on the national chart.
The cover art was designed by Stylorouge, with photography by Andrew Catlin.
Until OMD's reformation in 2010, "Dreaming" was the last single to feature the group's original line-up; lead singer Andy McCluskey was the only core member to appear on their 1991–1996 output.
McCluskey performed the song live during the 1990s when Humphreys was no longer in the group.[citation needed]
