"In My Dreams" was the Norwegian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 2005, performed in English by Wig Wam.

The song is a glam metal number, in keeping with the band's view that "rock'n'roll is the new schlager". Lead singer "Glam" wonders whether his relationship is "real or just a fantasy", and tells his lover that he is "Scared of waking up and you'll be gone/Face the truth and I'll be all alone", a fear that he puts to rest by suggesting that they should "get into the groove" and live for the moment.

The performance was as flamboyant as the music suggested, with the band dressed variously in grey spandex (Glam) and wearing a military hat (Teeny) among other things. Paying tribute to the Orange Revolution which had taken place in host country Ukraine the year before, Glam attached an orange banner to his microphone stand.

As Norway had not finished the Eurovision Song Contest 2004 in the top ten, the song was performed in the semi-final. Here, it was performed thirteenth, following Estonia's Suntribe with "Let's Get Loud" and preceding Romania's Luminiţa Anghel & Sistem with "Let Me Try". At the close of voting, it had received 164 points, placing 6th in the 25-strong semi-final and qualifying for the final.

In the final, it was performed fifth, following the Romanian entry and preceding Turkey's Gülseren with "Rimi Rimi Ley". At the close of voting, it had received 125 points, placing 9th in a field of 24, guaranteeing Norway a place in the final at the next Contest.
