Background

Rapid Eye Movement is the final installment of the Reality Dream Trilogy which has thus far included Out of Myself and Second Life Syndrome. The album is split into two parts, entitled "Fearless" and "Fearland", respectively.
A two CD Digipack version of the album had also been released and includes extra tracks and some video footage. There are also two outtakes from the last Reality Dream Suite, the title track and "Reality Dream IV". Instead, both are included in the bonus disk, and the final instrumental suite is titled "Lucid Dream IV".
The album was named as one of Classic Rock‘s 10 essential progressive rock albums of the decade.
In 2009, Century Media Records Ltd., under exclusive license from InsideOut Music, released a 2CD version including the bonus disk originally included in the 2007 Digipak version, without the video footage.
