I Have Dreamed is an album recorded by Doris Day in May 1961 and issued by Columbia Records on August 14, 1961 as catalog number CS 8460. Doris Day was backed by Jim Harbert's Orchestra and the cover photography was by Leo Fuchs.

As the name suggests, many of the songs have titles or lyrics referring to dreaming.

An interesting excerpt from the Richard Rodgers Wikipedia page: "After Doris Day recorded "I Have Dreamed" in 1961, he wrote to her and her arranger, James Harbert, that theirs was the most beautiful rendition of his song he had ever heard".
