Jeromes Dream is a three-piece screamo band that originally formed in Connecticut and is now based in San Francisco, CA. They were active from 1997 to 2001 and then again from 2018 onwards.

The band had a unique vocal style - singer Jeff Smith opted not to use a microphone while performing live, instead screaming unamplified at the top of his lungs. The band was known for playing very short sets, usually no longer than 10 minutes. According to Smith, they thought 10 minutes was all they needed to get their point across. The band's second full-length album, Presents, featured a drastic change in vocal style, abandoning the raw screams for processed "megaphone" style vocals.

However, Smith cites an anecdote in which while recording with Orchid his voice cut off and he passed out in the recording booth. Afterward, they changed their style overall.
