"Living in a Dream" is the first single from Canadian alternative rock band Finger Eleven's sixth album, Life Turns Electric. It was released in August 2010. This song, along with "Paralyzer" from their last album, has a "dance rock" feel to the track.

The song failed to be as big a hit internationally as the last album's lead single, "Paralyzer" was, failing to hit the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States and reaching the Top 5 on any rock format.

The song is the official theme song for the 2011 WWE Royal Rumble event that is produced by WWE.
