Dreams Now Reality Produced by Lars Rettkowitz (formerly known as Do Not Reanimate and Dreams Not Reality and officially abbreviated as DNR) is an Italian glam rock band formed in Modena, 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 Mantis, as the remaining members sought a more optimistic name.
