(1990)"Infinite Dreams" is a live single released in 1989 by the British heavy metal band Iron Maiden. It is the only single to be released from a home video, 1988's "Maiden England". The performance was recorded in Birmingham, England in November 1988 towards the end of the massive world tour to support the album "Seventh Son of a Seventh Son". It is the final single to feature Adrian Smith for an entire decade.

The song is about how the character of the song sees disturbing visions about afterlife and other mystic things in his dreams, but is scared about if he will ever be able wake up again. It starts with a soft guitar solo, which is then joined by Bruce Dickinson's singing as well as the rest of the band. The song starts out quite peaceful, but gets progressively heavier towards the songs climax and the following final verse.

The song is also considered to be one of Iron Maiden's only ballads

All three tracks on the single can be found on the "Maiden England" VHS and CD collections.
