''The Dream'' is a poem written by
Lord Byron in 1816. It has been described as expressing "central Romantic beliefs about dreams". It also describes the view from the
Misk Hills, close to Byron's ancestral home in
Newstead,
Nottinghamshire. Mary Chaworth of
Annesley Hall, a distant relation for whom Byron had a boyhood passion, is the "Maid" of the poem.
