In Dreams was recorded with Will Putney at The Machine Shop Recording Studio in Belleville, New Jersey. The album's title refers to the themes explored within the lyrics, which deal with concepts of dreams, reality, and the subconscious mind.

The album received generally positive reviews, with critics praising its musicianship, experimentation, and songwriting. Some criticism was directed towards the integration of clean vocals, with opinions varying on their effectiveness. Key tracks on the album include "Of Dream and Day," "Aspiration," and "Virga." In Dreams charted on the Billboard 200, reaching number 66.
