Dreams, Dreams, Dreams is the sixth album by the Canadian rock band Chilliwack. This was the eighth album (including two as The Collectors) done by the band's core of Bill Henderson, Glenn Miller and Ross Turney, and the third with Howard Froese. After Chilliwack's failure to find an audience with Rockerbox, this album (with the same lineup) marked the band's return to the top 10 in Canada with "Fly at Night" (which also charted in the US, at #75), while "California Girl" and "Baby Blue" were also Top 40 hits there. "Rain-O" was a remake of Chilliwack's first hit. Dreams, Dreams, Dreams was the first Canadian Platinum album for the band.
