Lost in a Dream is a live album by jazz drummer Paul Motian, recorded at the Village Vanguard in February 2009 and released on ECM the following year.

Writing for The Guardian, jazz critic John Fordham noted that Lost in a Dream reveals Motian's trio to "demonstrate sublime improvising musicianship" and "flawless creative listening at once.

"[3] This symbiosis between musicians was similarly highlighted by reviews in PopMatters, AllAboutJazz and The Jazz Mann, with John Kelman describing Lost in a Dream to be the work of Motian's "empathic new trio.

"[6] In his review for PopMatters, Will Layman suggested that Lost in a Dream "should rank highly" within Motian's extensive repertoire recorded works, reporting that the trio's "combination of balladry and excitement, texture and melody, individual personality and group simpatico makes Lost in a Dream a serious standout.

"[4] Laura Marín Bertomeu, in a monograph on the ECM discography observed that reflections on Motian's collective body of work since his death have concluded that the musical intelligence and 'empathy' on display makes Lost in a Dream one of his finest recordings.
