Despite mixed reviews upon its initial release, "The Dreaming" has since gained critical acclaim and is considered a landmark album in Kate Bush's career.
The album features a diverse blend of musical styles and makes extensive use of the Fairlight CMI digital sampling synthesizer. The album drew inspiration from a variety of sources, including old crime films, a documentary about the war in Vietnam, the plight of Indigenous Australians, the life of Harry Houdini and Stephen King's novel The Shining.
Many songs on the album explore personal themes, such as feelings of existential frustration and the need to acknowledge and express the darker sides of one's personality. "The Dreaming" has been included in several lists of the greatest albums of all time and has influenced many musicians such as Björk and Big Boi.
