Dreams In Stone is the seventh studio album by Michel Berger produced by him and Philippe Rault, released in 1982.

Made in the prospect of starting a rock opera in the United States, the album was recorded in studios in California with many musicians U.S. renowned, including members of the group Toto, as David Hungate, Steve Lukather and Jeffrey Porcaro and with the percussionist Paulinho Da Costa. Because of its low public impact, the album remains as the model of a beautiful American musical dream could become a kind of Starmania made ​​in USA.
