What song makes you feel like you're in a dream?

Runnin' Down A Dream by Tom Petty is a song that makes me feel like I'm in a dream or dreaming. Somewhat because of the lyrics but also because of the video that is 100% worth watching.

[Verse 1]
It was a beautiful day, the sun beat down
I had the radio on, I was drivin'
Trees went by, me and Del were singin'
"Little Runaway," I was flyin'

[Chorus]
Yeah, runnin' down a dream
That never would come to me
Workin' on a mystery
Goin' wherever it leads
Runnin' down a dream

[Verse 2]
I felt so good, like anything was possible
Hit cruise control and rubbed my eyes
The last three days, the rain was unstoppable
It was always cold, no sunshine

[Chorus]
Yeah, runnin' down a dream
That never would come to me
Workin' on a mystery
Goin' wherever it leads
Runnin' down a dream
