"Dreamin'" ("Dreaming" in U.S.) is a song recorded by Cliff Richard from his 1980 album, I'm No Hero. The track was the first of three single releases and was the biggest hit from the album.

"Dreaming" became Richard's third and final U.S. Top 10 hit. It peaked at number eight on the UK Singles Chart, reached the Top 5 in Australia and was a hit in numerous European countries. "Dreaming" achieved silver certification for sales in the UK.

The song was co-written by Leo Sayer. Sayer's own hit, a cover of "More Than I Can Say" (U.S. #2) was on the charts concurrently with "Dreaming" during the last four months of 1980. Both songs were produced by Alan Tarney.

The release of the follow-up single from Richard's I'm No Hero album, "A Little in Love" was delayed by the release of his duet with Olivia Newton-John "Suddenly," from the "Xanadu" soundtrack.
