"These Dreams of You" is a song written by the Northern Irish singer-songwriter Van Morrison on his 1970 album Moondance.
The words are introspective and obscure, but the musical structure and assured playing give the piece its necessary coherence.
"[1] Van Morrison describes it as:[2] The result of a dream I had about Ray Charles being shot down.
The song is basically about dreams.Brian Hinton goes on to say, "Nightmares more like, with Van's lover telling lies, walking out, ignoring his cries, throwing him out, and slapping him on the face; odd behavior for an angel.
Van's voice sounds almost strangled on the final chorus.
