The Dream Weaver is the third solo album by American singer and musician Gary Wright, released in July 1975.
Dream Weaver was one of the first rock and roll albums to be performed mainly on electronic keyboards, and was described as "revolutionary" in this regard in a retrospective review by Allmusic. The performers include David Foster, Bobby Lyle, and Wright himself on keyboards, and Jim Keltner and Andy Newmark on drums. The track "Power of Love" features Ronnie Montrose on electric guitar.
The album made little impact upon first release but slowly gained attention, and The Dream Weaver eventually peaked at number 7 on the U.S. Billboard Top LPs & Tape chart in the spring of 1976. It was certified Gold in 1976, Platinum in 1986 and 2× Platinum in 1995. The album spawned two hit singles: "Dream Weaver" and "Love Is Alive" both peaked at number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart.
