|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rilo Kiley | My Slumbering Heart | The Execution of All Things | Saddle Creek | A series of dreams, each less comfortable than the last. |
| Kate Nash | Skeleton Song | Made of Bricks | Fiction | A song about an imaginary friend overstaying his welcome, featuring a rather violent dream. |
| Neil Young | After the Gold Rush | After the Gold Rush | Reprise | An apocalypse built around dreams. |
| Cliff Edwards | I'll See You In My Dreams | The Vintage Recordings of Cliff Edwards | A personal favorite, and self-explanatory. | |
| David Byrne | The Dream Police | Rei Momo | Luaka Bop | Something one step away from 1984. |
| The Hush Sound | Don't Wake Me Up | Like Vines | Decaydance/Fueled by Ramen | That painful moment when you're pulled from a dream not quite done. |
| The Antlers | Every Night My Teeth Are Falling Out | Burst Apart | Frenchkiss | Prolific use of nightmare imagery. |

| Arctic Monkeys | Love is a Laserquest | Suck It and See | Domino | A stretch for this playlist? Perhaps. A fantastic song nonetheless. |
| Electric Light Orchestra | Twilight | Time | Jet | A song which is either about a dream, or it isn't. |
| Punch Brothers | Clara | Who's Feeling Young Now? | Nonesuch | The inspiration for this playlist. A fantasy. |
| The Innocence Mission | Fred Rogers | Hello I Feel the Same | Korda | Mr. Rogers does seem like the kind of man who might visit one's dreams. |
| Cake Bake Betty | Eleanor | To The Dark Tower | Infinity Cat | Compare/Contrast: a song about a strange woman whose name starts with "E." |
| The Hush Sound | Eileen | So Sudden | Decaydance/Fueled by Ramen | Compare/Contrast: a song about a dead woman whose name starts with "E." |
| They Might Be Giants | Good to Be Alive | Glean | Idlewild | A bookend for a playlist of dreams, a song of waking up. |
