In 1992, Gary Wright re-recorded a longer version of "Dream Weaver" for the ''Wayne's World'' movie soundtrack. According to Gary Wright, the song was inspired by ''Autobiography of a Yogi'', which was given to him by George Harrison.〔(The Dream Weaver Inspiration ) – Gary Wright's homepage5〕 Paramhansa Yogananda's poem "God! God! God!" made reference to "the idea of the mind weaving dreams." The expression "Dream Weaver" was popularized by John Lennon in 1970 in his song "God", taken from his solo album ''John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band''. This song depicts Lennon's declaration that he was the dream weaver of the sixties, breaking away from the influences and dogmas that influenced his life. The song is widely considered the first synthpop hit song, with all instrumentation created by synthesizer except for the Keltner percussion. == In popular culture == While the original inspiration for "Dream Weaver" was spiritual, a brief snippet of the chorus has become a Western pop-cultural cliché following its serious, and later comically parodic, use as the soundtrack for sudden infatuation or love at first sight. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dream Weaver」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
