Dust and Dreams is the eleventh studio album by Camel. Released in 1991 after a seven-year hiatus during which Andrew Latimer and Susan Hoover moved from England to California to set up their own Camel Productions label, the album was inspired by John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath.{{cite web |last1=Peacock |first1=Tim |title='Dust And Dreams': How Camel Found The Promised Land |url=https://www.udiscovermusic.com/stories/dust-and-dreams-camel/ |publisher=uDiscoverMusic |access-date=26 June 2022 |date=10 September 2021 |quote=Perhaps influenced by his new surroundings, the song cycle Latimer conceived was for a concept album evoking the spirit and themes of John Steinbeck’s Pulitzer (and later Nobel) Prize-winning 1939 novel, The Grapes of Wrath.}}
