"Land of Dreaming" is a song recorded by German band Masterboy. It was the third single from their album, Generation of Love. The song was released in January 1996 and features female vocals performed by Trixi Delgado. Several remixes were produced for the various formats, two of them were mixed by Italian Eurodance act Cappella. The song was a big success in Latín American countries Like Chile and México , but in Europe was unable to duplicate the same performances than Masterboy's previous hit singles. It reached its highest peak position in Germany where it was number 12 and charted for 17 weeks. It was also a top-20 hit in Switzerland, Finland and the Netherlands. In France, the song was ranked for ten weeks in the French top-50 Singles Chart and reached number 22. On the Eurochart Hot 100, "Land of Dreaming" peaked at number 42. In 2006, it was re-recorded in a remixed version with Freedom Williams and Linda Rocco in featuring and this version is included on Masterboy's 2006 studio album, US-Album.
