"Dream World" is a song recorded in September 1978 by Swedish pop group ABBA, with shared vocals by Agnetha Faltskog and Anni-Frid Lyngstad and solo passage by Agnetha. The song was recorded during sessions for the Voulez Vous album. Composers Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus decided, however, that "Dream World" was not suitable for release, and instead, agreed to scrap the recording.
The melody and chord sequence of the middle-eight of "Dream World" were re-used, with different lyrics, as the bridge for the middle-eight of the song "Does Your Mother Know", later released as the second single from the Voulez-Vous album.
In 1994, "Dream World" was released in Sweden, Germany and Australia as a promotional-only CD-single with other ABBA rarities to advertise the Thank You for the Music four CD box-set.
