Dreams Beyond Control is the seventeenth album by the American jazz group Spyro Gyra, released in 1993 by GRP Records.

[4] Alex Ligertwood, formerly of Santana, sings on "Patterns in the Rain" and "Send Me One Line".

It was the first time a Spyro Gyra album contained vocals in English.

[8] The Chicago Tribune deemed the album "a rather leaden excursion into R&B-flavored pop-fusion.

"[10] The Boston Herald concluded that "beneath this somewhat tougher exterior beats the same faint musical heart, full of sweet melodies, perky rhythms and chatty solos—but every bit as empty of risk and guts as ever.
