"Are You Dreaming?" is a song by Dutch group Twenty 4 Seven, released in November 1990 as the second single from their first album, Street Moves (1991). Nancy Coolen performed the vocal parts, and Captain Hollywood the rap parts—with Fixx it & Janks. The song was a top 10 hit in Denmark, Finland, Italy and Switzerland. In the UK, it reached number 17.

Critical reception

British magazine Music Week described the song as a "pop-rap galloper".[1] David Quantick from NME wrote, "I wish I was called Captain Hollywood. This is shamelessly happy Euro pop rap and keeps threatening to turn into Modern Romance's 'The Best Years of Our Lives'. Ay ay ay ay, it's a new romance. Ay ay ay ay, it makes me want to dance."[2] Miranda Sawyer from Smash Hits concluded, "Still this tune is good in an annoyingly sparkly-eyed, keep fit sort of way."[3]
