Sweet Dream Lyrics

The message of the songs seems to be that no matter how much parents try to control their children (most likely a daughter in the case of this song), they can't control their child's dreams. Also, all the attempts at control will likely cause said child to rebel anyway.

My Interpretation

@Krendall2006 It could be a teenager boy or girl,because no mention of he or she.Sweet dreams could also be about opiate addiction,because living a life in a day and tied up in some coat(addiction) and a resting place,is all in a sweet dream only.
That issaid very well by NIN in there song:Hurt:....You Are Someone Else,I Am Still Right Here...
