Cover art for Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This) lyrics by Eurythmics

I know the proper meaning. I don't mean to sound big-headed, but if you read her biography it tells you the meanings of all the songs. She said that this song means that everyone in the world is looking for fulfillment or they're looking for something & that some people want to use you or they want you to use them & some people want to abuse others, but others want people to abuse them & sweet dreams are made of anything that takes your fancy. I'd type up the exact words what she actually said, but it'll take me forever to find the page what it's on.

i know this is 5 years later, but thanks! this really helped, i needed something to say about this song for a school project

That's actually the way I interpreted it as well. Everybody tells you that this car (or this home, or a holiday in the Bermuda triangle) will fulfil you, but in the end we are all different. We should do what makes us happy.
