"Caught in a Dream" is a 1971 song by rock band Alice Cooper, featured on their first major label release album Love It to Death. It was released as a single in May 1971 and peaked on the US charts at number 94.
Coming just before the album's signature hit "I'm Eighteen", "Caught in a Dream" opens Love It to Death. It is a straight-ahead rocker that follows simple hard-rock formulas, trading heavy riffing with guitar fills and solos,[1] "Caught in a Dream" was the album's second single and featured irreverent, tongue-in-cheek lyrics such as "I need everything the world owes me / I tell that to myself and I agree".[2] As the album's second single[2] "Caught in a Dream" was released backed with "Hallowed Be My Name" in May 1971;[3] it peaked in the US at number 94.[2]
