"Dreamer" sits third on Down to Earth, Ozzy Osbourne's 2001 album, and it finds Ozzy in a reflective mood, looking out at people wrecking the planet they live on. In the liner notes to his Prince of Darkness box set, he called it his own take on John Lennon's "Imagine", which tells you where his head was.
He wrote it with Marti Frederiksen and Mick Jones, and Tim Palmer produced it and mixed it with engineer Mark Dearnley, with Zakk Wylde on guitar, Robert Trujillo on bass and Mike Bordin on drums. As a single it climbed to 10 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, and the Japanese and European pressings added an acoustic version.
