in this song, farmer says she "hopes for a better world, and confesses that she was perhaps misled glorifying misery. however, (...) [for her], that hope is just an inaccessible dream". "rêver" ends in a different way from other farmer's songs: not with the chorus, but with the phrase ""j'ai rêvé qu'on pouvait s'aimer / j'avais rêvé du mot aimer"". french author erwan chuberre says "rêver" is probably one of the most moving songs of farmer's directory.
