A Dream Within a Dream - Nox Arcana

[LackOfPaitents]

I bought this CD back in fifth grade :'D

[Lazenshia1]

Art thou suffering?

Come with me into the eternal darkness.

Where we belong together.

Into a dream within a dream.

[g1gavet]

I dream inside my dreams, and wake up in one. Makes actually waking up really difficult when your brain is telling you you're already up!

[Yoharashi]

I don't get what the Inception shit is about.

[02Blackbeard]

A microcosmic dream within a macrocosmic dream.

[GreekPiranha]

happened to me once (i was really drunk that night), the bad thing is that if you die in your dream inside your dream the brain doesn't know from which dream to wake up!!! gives you a bad headache in the middle of the night, combined with the alcohol ofc... 

[FangsAnimations]

poe hear you liked dreams, so he put a dream in your dream

[herromaylaherro]

INCEPTION!!

WE NEED TO GO DEEPER

[FiveSilverStars]

@herromaylaherro You mustn't be afraid to dream bigger, darling.

[Eldwinn]

inception.

[95SweetDream]

All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream...

[thaurgurth]

@95SweetDream and you feel like reading Poe again...

[LoveThatAddiction]

Wow. This song actually gave me chills. <3

[RockingAnimeFan235]

This song makes me think that maybe we have been dreaming our intire lives and that everything we see, touch,hear smell and taste are just fragments of our imagination.

[nevernosam]

this is all a dream

[newnemesis666]

looks like nox arcana is a great band, i'm not gothic and i don't know about music, but nox aracana are awesome >:)

[sergiogarza]

yo dawg i heard you like dreams

[masterspector]

I apologize, and I know this has nothing to do with it, but when I saw the title I was like "Theres going be INceptionists.... =_='l|" and here we are... Oh well :P

[Damirok]

See first comment, type INCEPTION

[Tsuriri]

... What does this song have to do with 'Inception'?

[celerystalker19]

@Tsuriri In that movie, the guy had a dream within a dream within a dream.

[TheKoolkrow]

Every time I hear I feel like I'm in a ballroom and I gonna dance to it

[Morzansdaughter]

The whole "Dreamception" thing was funny the first time.

[FoxyGrandpa690]

Inception.

[DuchessAliana]

*insert generic Inception comment here*

Oh, btw, both Poe and the Nolan brothers are awesome.

[JstGoinForIt]

This ENTIRE ALBUM is based on Edgar Allen Poe's works. I love it!

[nycpd75]

all i can say is INCEPTION

[Dragonastra]

Edgar Allen Poe is probably my favorite Romanticist... Time to read Poe while listening to Nox Arcana...

[Angelke01]

@Dragonastra Now that you say that, I feel like reading the Raven again whilst listening :)

[scarlit1]

hey are there any lyrics in nox arcana ?? 

[LivingDeadGirl13100]

@scarlit1 In the songs Blood Of Angels, Past Time With Good Company, Vigil, and several others....

[scarlit1]

@LivingDeadGirl13100 are those the lyrics Past (Time With Good Company, Vigil, and several others..)

ps you have a cool user name :D

[LivingDeadGirl13100]

@scarlit1 I'm a bit lost with what you've said but what I meant is that those are some of Nox Arcana's songs with lyrics. Also thank you, I do love Rob Zombie!

[scarlit1]

@LivingDeadGirl13100 Ah.. its ok I normally dont make sense anyway :) but thanks... thats cool but dont know too much about rob zombie :P

[Numi50]

I have dreams within dreams all the time

[xViolinxManiacx78x]

i love the harpsichord in this <3

[Urnam7]

At the beginning it even has a faint resembance of one of the Inception soundtracks. :> I think that OST was inspired by this soundtrack somewhat. C:

[margielazou]

Edgar Allan Poe: "For what is Life, but a Dream within a Dream..."

[DreamingRay]

this title is inception...

[animelove2021]

Life is but a dream within a dream.

close your eyes

you are immortal

[vivecanada1]

@lunasky2 Or is it waking to reality, and life the true dream within a dream?

[LbenNicaragua]

Take this kiss upon the brow! And, in parting from you now, Thus much let me avow- You are not wrong, who deem That my days have been a dream; Yet if hope has flown away In a night, or in a day, In a vision, or in none, Is it therefore the less gone? All that we see or seem Is but a dream within a dream.

[ollenlil]

It is really cool that there are some orchestras that appreciate Edgar Allen Poe's work. Nox Arcana for the win. Everytime I listen too this song it gives me chills it so dark but beautiful

[forensicerror]

Is that the harpsichord?

[MyMidnightMistress]

@forensicerror Definitely sounds like a harpsichord to me. But... what do I know lol

[Blackheartedhethan]

@forensicerror yep it is

[kateluvscoffee]

omg--this is so--beautiful...

[Willgtl]

lol it's funny how everyone jumps to Inception when they hear something to do with a dream within a dream as if Nolan was the first person ever in the whole 200,000 years of human life to think of that.

They just renamed Poe's poem after Inception, before that it had nothing to do with a dream...

[iShadow64]

We need to go deeper.

[ViperRob42]

Actually INCEPTION is a dream within a dream within a dream, with an extra 4th level of infinite raw purgatory

[Cybeldina]

Do they never sing in their songs? Sorry, I am new to the band so I am just wondering because all of the ones I have listened to are just like this. ^ ^

[grimstone442]

@Cybeldina Most of Nox Arcana's music is instrumental, but they do have a handful of songs with vocals like "Winter's Eve," "Fate Of The Tempest," "Treasure of the Four Crowns," "Spellbound," "Coventry Carol," and "Past Times With Good Company." They also have several songs with narrations and chanting. It's all very moody.

[TeaISImportant]

Yo dawg.

We heard you like dreamin', so we put a dream inside a dream

So you could dream, while you dreamin'.

|D

[landship92]

YOU JUST GOT INCEPTION !!!!

[emmilittlemuffin]

I love the poem that this is based off of....own of Poe's best, in my opinion. I pity all the emos who think that listening to pretty little ditties like this make them "different and dark". I wear black all the time, and listen to different music, and wear eyeliner. But that's cuz I just like the way it looks. I express my being different by the way I think, not the crap I buy!! Show the true you. THINK in a rebel way. mature.....and show the world how great it is to grow up!!!

[LemonadeShadows]

Oh why can't I hold all these limes?!

[w00tEpixx]

For crying out loud, stop spamming "Inception"! This is based on a magnificent poem by Edgar Allan Poe, titled "A Dream Wiithin A Dream". In fact it's highly possible that mr. Nolan was influenced by this poem in his film.

[TheGreatTrollSlayer]

@w00tEpixx Got to love this album. I believe everything on Shadow of the Raven is based on Edgar Allan Poe.

[UncleSpankification]

@w00tEpixx Poeception.

[hnrksl]

A dream within a dream?

INCEPTION.

[wandererlain]

This has a PHANTASM sound to it.

[girlfromwintercourt]

Dream within a dream = Inception :))

[MsSchwarzerrabe]

ihr habt doch nen ARSCH auf

[madybear72]

you may wander through the dark skies at night but be warned that once you enter and fall asleep, you'll wake up within another dream, and you will never wake up, because if you try, you'll enter another dream within a dream i warned you now i hope you never enter into the raven's gates because you will never wake again.

[willowdeadsun]

The despite whips falls child calls 

[micanikko]

"She walks in Beauty, like the night

Of Cloudness climes and starry skies,

And all that's best of dark and bright

Meet in her aspect and her eyes."

[Suuz1997]

Everytime, when the full moon rises, and the forest fills with unpredictable mist, she is standing there... The women with no name... People call her a witch, a demon, immortal... All she could see was death and despair... No human being would survive her cruel deeds... Blood of her victim, is spread over the floor... Once you meet her, you won't have a chance of surviving... Is she real... or a dream... A dream, within a dream...

[mackey087]

hickory dickory dock, the mouse ran up the clock, and so on, this got so many thumbs up it became number one.......

[nightnano]

z clone sector 4 dreams. galaxy portol.  reading a thanking for your gift.

[Xxemma181997xX]

this is just amazing it gives a eery vibe from listing 2 it

[bloodi01]

Inception is fine...but it really should have detail the way they actually invade others dreams.....

[PeterTheMob]

inception

[Raquel66688]

@lunasky2 dude thats what the sarah chic played by mia farrow says when she reads the paper inside a candy skulll r in the 2nd crow movie

[BleedingHearts37]

I may have to buy the album. It's too good not to pay for it.

This is great to listen to when you're working.

[shisumi1]

INCEPTION!!!!! sorry but i just had to. this song was just begging for it. i am not a troll. please dont get mad.

[Khardix]

@shisumi1 Well, Inception... it was too much technical and real-seeming in order to be a true dreamscape, in my opinion. Dreams should be bound only by imagination :)

[shisumi1]

@Khardix i meant the movie.

[Khardix]

@shisumi1 I meant the movie, too. The dreams i that film was too realistic for me :)

[Dietrichsgrlforlife]

Can someone tell me where I can download music besides Itunes because they want too much money & I think Zune is the same as Itunes. Somebody HELP!

[grimstone442]

@Dietrichsgrlforlife Don't steal the music, buy it. Nox Arcana's cds are only 9.99 on itunes (only 8.99 on Amazon), and each cd has 21 songs, so that's less than 50 cents per track. That is a great price for all you get. Don't be cheap. Don't be a thief. Support the artists.

[koolapplecottesmore]

edgar allen poe?

[Moonhawk47]

Inception.

[purplecat747]

@JakobsMovieTutorials that's what she s- no. I'm not going there. I will resist.

[xReicheruxchanx]

I swear, they actually had this song in the movie Inception... or at least something that sounds like it.

It's certainly epic enough for the movie. The song makes me think of someone in a restless sleep, trying to escape their dreams but finding no way out...

[50033836]

Run, darlings. Run back behind your walls of white, cower in supposed safety. For I will come for you, and the name of Duke Muthrag Warpmind will be the last thing you understand, before my will is all that you will know, darlings.

[Aerodil]

This is my favorite Nox Arcana song ever!

[6Thanos6Daemon6]

Because all what we see is a dream within a dream of a forgotten God King 's dream.. Lucid Dreaming ♥ ♥

[ItsAllChaos]

It's 3:13 am and I want to go to fucking sleep but I just can't stop listening to nox arcana...

[trashyelektro]

@ItsAllChaos haha i know the feeling nox arcana rules!

[sebagisbert1]

INCEPTION

[nuvenine17]

@sebagisbert1 thats what i was thinking

[booasaurus]

dreams within dreams,wheels within wheels,is reality truth or that of a distant memory lost in the never ending dreamscape of time.

[themetalman92]

inception

[gommbario]

We need to go deeper.

[TheRonaldShow]

Wow.

[LightSpectra]

This song should've been in Inception...

... why is everyone booing at me?

[chywawii64]

my nwest theme song im so indecisive

[bloodyrockfire]

the very curel core of my heart fed by the rough beauty of the judgemental prophecy,after the scorn of those who pretend beyond of beeing,the cult of essence splendoring throughout the cosmic realm

[tylerhaunted]

I sit in the utter darkness, my eyes are heavy; heavy is my breathing I must succeed in another grasp of fresh air. I compose these last words in the language of notes on the lines of music.... I try to write but nothing is concieved from my pen. I hear the harpsichord - the bells, the choir; could it be? Hath my time cometh?! "No, wait," I plead to that dark shadow, "I wish to finish this!" I fall to my knees as they crack, "Please do not take me; yet have I to ask of redemption...."

[gothicangelred]

brilliant!My love to you ...The artist.

[KakosXronos]

μικρη σταγονα διαστροφης.που ολοι εχουν μεσα τους εστω κι αν δεν το συνειδητοποιησαν ακομη

[DarkReflection666]

@KakosXronos sostoooooos,,,,,,opos ta les file oloi mas exume 8elume i oxi ligi psixanomalia mesa mas

[DarkReflection666]

whenever i hear this song i feel weird but i like it.....cant explain how exactly but...i like it

[Bobmarleyisthebest98]

@DarkReflection666 The same with me.

[darthd95]

1 word ! : ORGASMIC!

[XxXhellokitteh97XxX]

i have to do a gothic project and this music is perfect!!! reminds me of edgar allen poe and tim burton too...o.O

[serpiccio]

i feel so hoplessly void

[stuffedXcucambor]

the title reminds me of inception.

[yismerlove]

allan poe

[gaisensie]

ugh im looking for the song name on myspace and cant find!!!!!!!!!

[gingrasr1]

this sounds like guitar pro midi's sound. but melodys are great

[RoxasNaoCi]

@gingrasr1 I agree. :O

[luvfranzferdinand]

my words are childish and pathetic, as am i, you'll only notice me when i'm gone, as is with all things

[luvfranzferdinand]

i look out the window, The window in my soul, I see the smiling people. They understand this life, The life which I cannot fathom, I am chained in this realm, A realm of dark'ning shadows, As I scream to be saved

[frgtnhvymtal]

Stuck inside my inner realm

Her dark beauty impails his cold, pale flesh

Intoxicating in it's own way

A chance to breath in a warm breeze

During this violent winter storm

Oh, how then I awake so fragile -- and so old!

[702mrshadow702]

I think that it is amazing how something with no words speaks so much.

[VanillaFirefly1]

mannn this is AWESOMMEEEEE the thins im reading all of you are just *singing voice* Amazzziiinnnggg

[siraneek1]

Life is full of chance. Therefore you won't understand words or meanings unless you are able to have sanity out of the most bizarre meanings of speech. And in order to do this you need chance to be, oh, how do you call it? More on the bright side of things?

[siraneek1]

Your fears do not exist in your mind.

They simply live out of it

[siraneek1]

Her deepest fear is not what lies in the dark The dreams of possessed souls go on and on. Her deepest fear is not what the future contains. When nights come as the sun is rising Her deepest fear is not if she doesn’t wake up And creatures chase her to hell and back Her deepest fear is not if she contains it She screams without a voice Her deepest fear is not her freedom And wanders without a mind Her deepest fear is not her nightmares Because when you are in a dream within a dream

[xxGothicxxKittyxx]

@siraneek1 this is my favorite that i've read out of everyones so far :)

[siraneek1]

@xxGothicxxKittyxx thanks. I wrote this poem literally in a minute right when I heard the song. You should see the poem I wrote for Lenore, Nox Arcana. I write as I go I guess. Songs influence me so much, you'd be amazed...

[bestfriends230]

i see... Wandering down the hall a woman goes looking around as if in seach of the buildings secrets. bells sound and she is another person, a past life, a body to a spirit. she is marched down a corridoor to her new life, as a spiritless body...

[ShadowSoldior]

Who dat at mah chamber door?

[RunningWolf24]

This is something I would expect to come from Europe

[NassuSitt11]

It likes like a raven and the music is verry cood the best ... I like the band.

[rockpop1]

this is so beautifull i can see in my mind a gothic ball room in a big mantion in the middle of the forest and they dancing to the light of the full moon

[Lollipop417]

Watch me now

As I fulfill my vow

To be within the land

of dreams

And those who follow thee

Shall be the final destiny

Within a dream

A dream does lay

Within the dream at bay

[WargoDsssss]

Nex est a decorus usus

[2010Astarte]

this music makes me feel the touch of the shadow of death...exploring the darkness within is a new, wonderful experience to me. thank you, Nox Arcana!

[Skyragansal]

pretty,beautiful... there are not adjective to describe this song

[ultramaria]

Dark the night

But soon the light

will reach you from afar

Your kaffir mind

is soon to find

Islam, Allah Akhbar!!

[shadowwalker83]

Alone i fall asleep into the depths of darkness deep. My eyes are open wide, but i know i've fallen to the other side.Where demons fight with all of their might, and i'm losing control of the fading light. Now that the light has faded away will i be hidden in this dream to stay. Are the angels dead and gone, to leave me with the devils all alone. Lost in a dream within dream, but agony of reality is what it screams

[Sideriel]

It could be a reality within reality.

[ori11494]

beautiful romance

[TheKoolkrow]

I own this album as well as Necromonicon and I love them both. This song reminds of a gothic ballroom dance.

[444DeathAngel777]

love this song..its awesome....

[whiteangelwampire]

Beautiful...

[rockpop1]

damn ppl gave me -3 i only said that this is not a song in original its a poem

[noobkillaz]

Yo dawg, we heard you like dreams so we put a dream in your dream so you can dream while you dream.

=D

I love this track by the way.

[Sadalmelek]

How few! yet how they creep

Through my fingers to the deep,

While I weep—while I weep!

O God! can I not grasp

Them with a tighter clasp?

O God! can I not save

One from the pitiless wave?

Is all that we see or seem

But a dream within a dream?

[Sadalmelek]

Take this kiss upon the brow! And, in parting from you now, Thus much let me avow— You are not wrong, who deem That my days have been a dream; Yet if hope has flown away In a night, or in a day, In a vision, or in none, Is it therefore the less gone? All that we see or seem Is but a dream within a dream. I stand amid the roar Of a surf-tormented shore, And I hold within my hand Grains of the golden sand—

[anahowana]

i read your poem along with the intro of Dream withtin a dream! it was splendid!! almost like king diamond, cradle of filth& empyrium

[kittylover6639]

@Sadalmelek babes, that was amazing <3 ily

[fallenangeldemon666]

having no lyrics just adds to how great of a mood it can set...i think if they had lyrics it'd totaly offset the whole aroma.

[MegumiKurai]

I agree with you fallenangeldemon666. I've always liked songs like such without lyrics because you actually feel more connected to it personally and have your own interpretation of the song.

[fallenangeldemon666]

mhm...it lets you think w/e you want when you listen to it...instead of the song having its own meaning you can deside that for you own personal way.

[nikkurasu]

Sounds like if Castlevania were real.

[fallenangeldemon666]

i love castlevania...your right it does....it could be possile that they sometimes used there songs or parts of there songs.

[SilCruxNana]

omne of my favourite songs..

[rockpop1]

this is not a song its a poem my friend of Edgar Allan Poe

[DrinkDrankPunk72]

I bet Edger Allan Poe was a very intense person to be around wish we had time machines so I could meet him

[mila203]

me too.

[101Swiftflick]

The first 45 sec remind me of exploring Shinra Mansion in FFVII.

[nik0prinZe90]

And now as i am bleesed by sweet music, My soul now shall ponder to this world tormenting creatures .......

[ILuvThisBand]

Its So Beautiful... Its almost enough to put you in a trance...

[EmperorAhmedGran]

My love, welcome to House of Upper Dreams: Two doors One Blue, the other Green One will awaken you The other will not! choose wisely Many have not! Green is your choice Now follow my voice We'll ascend to the highest realms The dream of dreams for Queen of Queens overwhelmed? This could be you're ultimate destiny Stay with me and you will feel this pleasure for eternity.

[bacon19921124]

that is SICK!!!! love it what is that from or did u make it up?

[EmperorAhmedGran]

Thanks, made it up.

[msSexypearls]

@EmperorAhmedGran luv what u wrote

[Allornon]

Take this kiss upon the brow! And, in parting from you now, Thus much let me avow- You are not wrong, who deem That my days have been a dream; Yet if hope has flown away In a night, or in a day, In a vision, or in none, Is it therefore the less gone? All that we see or seem Is but a dream within a dream.

[MartyredxMaiden]

I sang this.

I have avideo uploaded of it.

I love EAP and I thought it would be respectful to recite his immortal words in melody.

[rockpop1]

@Allornon Edgar Allen Poe.....R.I.P

[TheKemico]

@Allornon I stand amid the roar or a surf tormented shore. and I hold within my hand grains of the golden sand. How few! Yet how the creep through my fingers to the deep. While I weep-while I weel. Oh god! Can I not grasp them with a tighter clasp? Oh god! Can I not save one from the pittiles wave? Is all that we see or seem but a dream within a dream?

[Skyragansal]

the life is a dream within a dream??

[Eydu128]

Maybe.

[MakaiDeSenkei]

My Dear Aice, sit up straight! Surely you have attended my party before? I may be mad, but my memory is quite exccelent!

-Sorry Mr. Hatter, but I would probably have more incentive to sit straight if I knew that you didn't plan on killing me after the biscuits and jam-

Oh excuuuse me alice, but need I remind you that you were invited?

-So you call an assortment of card guards with their lances threatening to stick me lest I came a good enough invititation Mr. Hatter?-

Well, you did come.

and that mr hatter is the beginings of a madman
