Dream into Action is the second studio album by the British pop musician Howard Jones. It was released in March 1985 and reached No.2 in the UK Album Charts. The album also reached the top ten in the US. The album went gold and platinum in many countries including the US and UK.

The album contained the hit singles "Things Can Only Get Better" (UK #6, US #5), "Look Mama" (UK #10), "Life in One Day" (UK #14, US #19), and "Like to Get to Know You Well" (UK #4) though this was not included on the original UK vinyl or cassette editions. The version of "No One Is to Blame" that is featured on this album is not the hit single version; this song was entirely re-recorded in a substantially re-arranged version by Phil Collins for single release. The re-recorded version of "No One Is to Blame" reached #16 in the UK and #4 in the US in 1986.

In 2010, the album was remastered and re-released along with Jones' debut album Human's Lib. A huge world tour accompanied the albums original release with Jones playing Wembley Arena and the Birmingham O2 Academy in the UK, and arena size venues in the US, Europe and Japan.

All songs written and composed by Howard Jones.
