Dreamspace is the third studio album by power metal band Stratovarius, released on 9 February 1994 through Noise Records. It is the last Stratovarius album to feature guitarist Timo Tolkki on vocals (after which Timo Kotipelto became the lead singer on 1995's Fourth Dimension), as well as the first to feature bassist Jari Kainulainen. Sami Kuoppamäki was asked to record drums for some of the songs after drummer Tuomo Lassila was unable to finish the sessions due to tendonitis.

Critical reception

Steve Huey at AllMusic gave Dreamspace four stars out of five, saying that it "demonstrates the band coming into its own, honing its melodic Euro-metal attack to a razor-sharp point."
