Abstract

Dream is not simply a special event during one’s sleep. Sometimes it means all about one’s hope and expectation. Even a dream can build someone into maturity or bring someone to the beautiful past he used to live on. The purpose of the final project is to give a perspective and to prove that dream has such phenomenon which sometimes can not be far away from one’s life expectation. Stratovarius is one of thousands heavy metal band that is able to sing such philosophy perfectly. The Finnish musicians deliberately give their fans an atmosphere where adults sometimes expect and dream of going back to their childhood life and how they learn about the precious things of being a child. Although the process is not applied clearly in the real life for it is simply about a dream, the case becomes the most important issue in their work to concern about. The approach that is used in this final project is psychological approach. This approach is very reasonable because it relates closely with psychological factors of the musicians; how they dream it about and how they really expect to travel back to the life of their childhood. Besides, the approach is also used to interpret the adults’ dreams of childhood. Finally, by studying and analyzing the adults’ dream of childhood in “Dreamspace” and “Forever”, I conclude that being a child is impossible, but having the positive atmosphere from the memory of childhood is definitely a possible thing. We should dare to dream and make our life to be positive.
