Dreams of Water is the debut album of the California/New York rock group Happy Body Slow Brain, which was formed by ex-Taking Back Sunday guitarist Matthew Fazzi and touring guitarist Isaac Bolivar. The idea for the album began as a side-project of Fazzi's during his tenure with Taking Back Sunday, however after being "let go" from the band in March 2010, Fazzi began to focus all his energy on Happy Body Slow Brain.^[5]

The album was produced by Saves the Day and Two Tongues producer Marc Jacob Hudson. The cover artwork was done by Brent Nunn, and individual paintings were made for each track on the album. The album was released September 21, 2010 through the band's website, and then through iTunes.^[6]
