Dreams Not Reality
Dreams Now Reality, formerly Dreams Not Reality and originally known as Do Not Reanimate and officially abbreviated as DNR, is an Italian glam rock band formed in Bologna, Italy. They have performed domestically as well as internationally at venues in Russia, Japan, Ukraine, and Belarus. Their look is self-described as "Eurovisual" - taking influences from Japanese visual kei and Western glam rock. Luminor, formerly of Cinema Bizarre, has collaborated extensively with the band. The band's full name changed to Dreams Not Reality after the departure of DeLord and Mantis, as the remaining members sought a more optimistic name.
