Dream house, also known as dream trance, is a dance music style that had 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. As of 2006, in most cases, synthesizer sounds had become prevalent. Spanish DJ Dario Nunez used dream house parts in his track "Looking at Me" in 2008.
