"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.
[3] 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.
[citation needed] Stewart Mason, in a retrospective review for AllMusic, described the song as "dynamite", and wrote: "['Dreaming'] is easily the group's best single since 1983's 'Telegraph'...
"[4] Classic Pop's Mark Lindores called it a "massively underrated OMD anthem".
[5] Conversely, McCluskey named "Dreaming" as a track he wishes OMD had never released, while criticising its lyrical content.
