Dream house (also known as dream trance), is a dance music style which had a big success on the dance scene between 1995 and 1997. Its main feature is the importance of melody, usually a very dreamy one (hence its name), typically played on a piano, or in some cases a violin, saxophone, etc. And now, as of 2006, for most of the cases, synthesizer sounds. Spanish DJ Dario Nunez used in 2008 dream house parts in his track Looking at Me.
