Dream Theater is the twelfth studio album by American progressive metal band Dream Theater. The album was written, recorded, mixed, and mastered between January and May 2013 at Cove City Sound Studios in Long Island, New York, the same location as the band's previous album, A Dramatic Turn of Events. The album's songs are shorter on average than most Dream Theater songs, with the exception of the 20-minute closer "Illumination Theory". Strings for the album were arranged by Eren Basbug, a Berklee College of Music student.

In calling the album Dream Theater, the band tried to define who they were and emphasize that they were moving forward. Reflecting on the decision for Guitar World, John Petrucci said, "We wanted to make this album a reference point for fans as far as what Dream Theater is all about. That was the goal and the mission, and it set the tone for the entire project." In an article for Grantland, Steven Hyden noted the album's stylistic similarities to Rush, writing, "There are songs on Dream Theater that are just straight-up Rush imitations, most notably 'The Looking Glass,' which crossbreeds 'Limelight' with 'Freewill' while leaving out Neil Peart’s misanthropic individualism." Speaking to MusicRadar, keyboardist Jordan Rudess was complimentary of John Myung, feeling that Myung made more of an impact on the album than ever before. In a separate interview, Myung called the record "a lot of fun" and described its energy as "electric".

Dream Theater moved 34,000 units in the United States in its debut week and became the band's second highest charting album ever behind 2009's Black Clouds & Silver Linings. In early 2014, the band toured Europe and America in support of the album, and recorded their performance at the Boston Opera House for a live release.
