“Dream a Little Dream of Me” is a popular song written in 1931 by Fabian Andre, Wilbur Schwandt, and Gus Kahn. It was first recorded by Ozzie Nelson and His Orchestra, but Doris Day’s 1962 version brought the song new warmth and helped cement it in American popular culture.

The song has also been covered by Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, and The Mamas & the Papas. Its enduring charm lies in the dreamy, intimate mood, making it suitable for both jazz and pop arrangements, from slow ballads to intimate lounge performances.
