"Sweet Dream" is a song recorded by the English rock band Jethro Tull on 31 August 1969, at Morgan Studios, London. It was their second straight UK Top Ten single, reaching number 7 in the UK singles chart.[4] The b-side was a non-album track, "17", recorded on 11 September 1969, also at Morgan. It later appeared as a bonus track on remastered versions of Stand Up.[5] "Sweet Dream" has appeared on many Tull compilation albums, while "17" has been rarely seen. In the UK, the single was the first release on Chrysalis Records.

The song is in the key of E minor.
In 1981, a music video was made for the Slipstream tour. Ian Anderson is dressed up like a vampire and it shows clips from old horror films.
