"Tell Me I Was Dreaming" is a song co-written and recorded by American country music artist Travis Tritt. It was released in April 1995 as the fourth and final single from his album Ten Feet Tall and Bulletproof. It peaked at number 2 in the United States, and number 3 in Canada. The song was written by Tritt and Bruce Ray Brown.

Deborah Evans Price, of Billboard magazine reviewed the song favorably, saying that the "big ballad combines an impassioned vocal performance with Gregg Brown's nifty production touches." She goes on to call the song "country through and through."

The controversial music video was directed by Michael Merriman. It was filmed in Austin, Texas.
