Propaganda – Dream within a dream

“A Dream Within a Dream” is a poem written by Edgar Allan Poe, first published in 1849. The poem is 24 lines, divided into two stanzas. The poem questions the way one can distinguish between reality and fantasy, asking, “Is all that we see or seem but a dream within a dream?”

Propaganda, along with The Alan Parsons project and several other musicians have used this famous poem to inspire the lyrics of their work.
