The DreamOn series is a set of demo discs for the Sega Dreamcast, distributed in Europe. They can be seen as a successor to the Sega Flash series for the Sega Saturn, as like the Sega Flash series, each disc contains a number of playable demos and watchable videos of upcoming video games.

The DreamOn series lasted throughout the Dreamcast's lifespan in Europe. The discs came from Sega themselves, and were distributed montly via the Official Dreamcast Magazine. DreamOn Volume 1 was initially bundled with Dreamcast consoles, but was later replaced by entries under the DreamOn Collection title, which usually contained more content than their Volume counterparts.

When the Dreamcast ceased production in 2001, the UK's Official Dreamcast Magazine had planned to keep printing issues for as long as new games were being released. However, difficulties arose when trying to print DreamOn demo discs. New demos were almost non-existent, with DreamOn Volume 22 merely being a compilation of demos seen in previous editions of the magazine. Finding it difficult to justify the price of the magazine without a demo disc, the magazine was halted despite claiming new issues would be released.

Though the DreamOn discs usually contained just demos and videos, there are a few exceptions. DreamOn Volume 8 included the full game Sega Swirl (which was not available in stores). Christmas and summer themed Toy Commander missions were exclusive to the series. Some discs contained slideshows of screenshots, such as Ecco the Dolphin: Defender of the Future in DreamOn Volume 6, and Metropolis Street Racer, seen in DreamOn Volume 7 was marked as a "rolling demo" (an unplayable demo rendered in real-time).
