"Inside Your Dreams" is a song recorded by German act U96, released in 1994 by various labels as a non-album track. It was a major hit on the charts in Europe, peaking at number-one in Finland. Additionally, it was a top 10 hit in Austria and Switzerland, and a top 20 hit in Denmark and Germany. On the Eurochart Hot 100, it reached number 29 in May 1994. Outside Europe, the single was a huge hit in Israel, peaking at number four. The accompanying music video was directed by Swedish director Fredrik Boklund, known for his videos for Army of Lovers. It was A-listed on Germany's VIVA in April 1994.[1]

Critical reception

Ian Gittins from Melody Maker wrote, "U96 are the German studio boffins who made the portentous novelty house hit, "Das Boot", complete with marine sound effects, submarine noises and the legendary lyric Techno, techno, a good year before 2 Unlimited, a huge hit across Europe. "Inside Your Dreams" is on more of a HiNRG tip and doesn't manage to be remotely as compelling and absurdly addictive."[2]
