Like a Dream is an album by Darek Oleszkiewicz. This was Oleszkiewicz's first album as leader. He had previously appeared as a sideman. Oleszkiewicz composed and arranged all but one of the tracks. The first five tracks are duets with pianist Brad Mehldau. Two tracks are quartet recordings, with saxophonist Chuck Manning, guitarist Larry Koonse and drummer Mark Ferber. The last four songs feature a trio with pianist Adam Benjamin and drummer Nate Wood", with tenor saxophonist Bernie Maupin added for one.

Darek Oleszkiewicz, a native of Poland and member of the music faculty at the California Institute of the Arts, makes his recording debut as a leader with this remarkable CD. Not yet thirty-years-old at the time of these sessions, the bassist shows surprising depth as a composer, arranger and soloist, with a gift for lyricism and a virtuoso technique reminiscent of Niels Pedersen. The first five songs are sterling duets with pianist Brad Mehldau (with whom he has worked in the past).

Darek Oleszkiewicz: Like A Dream by Jim Santella, published on October 11, 2004. Lyricism remains the emphasis as Oles solos lovingly with heartfelt compassion. The album's high point comes on Bennie Maupin's searing cameo, giving the program a fitting conclusion. Several of Cryptogramophone's new releases, including Like A Dream, come with a ten-track sampler that highlights the label's artists. Mehldau and Oles lead off the compilation with "You Don't Know What Love Is," from the above session. Cellist Erik Friedlander follows with "Consternation," featuring an acoustic, chamber jazz ensemble with a powerful voice.
