History
Dream Theater was formed in September 1985, when guitarist John Petrucci and bassist John Myung decided to form a band to fill their spare time while attending the Berklee College of Music in Boston. They then met a drummer, Mike Portnoy, in one of the rehearsal rooms at Berklee, and after two days of negotiations, they managed to invite Mike Portnoy to join. After that, they all want to fill the two vacant places in the band, and Petrucci asked his band mates, Kevin Moore, for a keyboard player. He agreed, and when Chris Collins invited to become a vocalist, the band was complete.
With five members, they decided to name the band by the name Majesty. According to the documentation DVD Score, five of them were lined up tickets for the Rush concert at the Berklee Performance Center while listening to Rush with a boom box. Portnoy said that the ending of the song (Bastille Day) sounds very "Majestic". That's when they decided Majesty is a good name for a band, and remained good until now.
At the time - that time, Portnoy, Petrucci and Myung is still struggling with their studies, also with a part-time work and teaching. Their schedules become tight tips so they must decide between pursuing a career in music or end the band Majesty. But eventually Majesty win and the three of them came out of Berklee to concentrate on a music career. Petrucci commented about this in the documentation DVD Score, said that while it is very difficult to ask parents to go to music school. And more difficult again to convince her parents that she should drop out of school.
Finally, Moore came out of school, SUNY Fredonia, to concentrate with the band.

Characteristics of songwriting
Some of the unique songwriting technique has been performed by Dream Theater, which mostly occur in the future - the present, when they can experiment with their own record label.
Starting with the Train of Thought, Dream Theater has begun to enter the elements - small and hidden elements in their music, and includes such elements to the more fanatical enthusiasts. Characteristics of the most famous (commonly called "nuggets") hidden in the "In the Name of God", which is the Morse code of "eat my ass and balls" (eat my ass and my cock), which is the word - the famous words of Mike Portnoy . Since then, many enthusiasts - Dream Theater enthusiasts began trying to find things - small things that usually do not appeal to ordinary enthusiasts.
Some of them are well-known techniques include:

    The sound of the phonograph in the suffix of "Finally Free" on the album Scenes from a Memory is the same sound at the beginning of "The Glass Prison" on their next album, Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence. And ending the last key in "As I Am" with a key that is used on the next album, Train of Thought. Also, the piano notes are played in the suffix "In the Name of God" in the 'Train of Thought is not the same as the opening of "The Root of All Evil" on the next album, Octavarium.

    The three parts of "The Glass Prison" on Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence, two parts of "This Dying Soul" at the Train of Thought and the two parts of "The Root of All Evil" on Octavarium show the first seven points of the twelve points - points in the program of Alcoholics Anonymous by Bill Wilson, in which the program was followed by Mike Portnoy. He also said that he would make a song - another song that includes five other programs, which will be aimed at Wilson

    Dream Theater song writing sometimes uses a technique in which part - part of a song is developed each time they played. For example, the song "6:00" from Awake. After leading the song, they almost play the chorus, but repeats the song of the prefix again (at minute 1:33). And when the chorus was supposed to be played at the next moment, they repeat again from the prefix, at minute 2:11. This technique can also be found in "Peruvian Skies", "Blind Faith" and "Endless Sacrifice"

    Repeated use of notation - also re-used, which are well known from the songs - songs of Charles Ives, for example :

        The theme song "Wait for Sleep" appears in "Learning to Live" (minute 8:11) and also appeared twice on "Just Let Me Breath" (minute 3:39 and 5:21)
        The theme song "Learning to Live" appeared in "Another Day" (2:53 minutes)
        The theme song "Space-Dye Vest" is used several times in the album Awake.
        Opening theme of "Erotomania" is used in "Voices" on Awake (4:51 minutes).

One of melody - a melody in "Metropolis Pt 1 (The Miracle And The Sleeper)" is repeated in the second chorus in "Home" from Metropolis Pt 2 (Scenes From A Memory), by just changing one word. Some lyrics from "Metropolis Pt 1" just use "Home". Basically, the whole album "Scenes From A Memory" is full of musical / lyrical / conceptual variations of elements - the musical elements of "Metropolis Pt 1" and "The Dance of Eternity" is actually constructed from variations - variations on the musical elements of songs - songs in album.

 Part - baguan of each song on the album "Octavarium" has been used in the fifth part of the same titled song, "Octavarium".
Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence, their sixth studio album, contains six songs and had a character - character number six in the title - the title song. Train of Thought, their seventh studio album, contains seven songs. Octavarium, their eighth studio album contains eight songs and the album title is taken from the word octo, which is a Latin word that means eight, meaning that one octave of a musical term, which is the distance from one note to another note are eight notes in the diatonic scales . More titles of this CD is 24 minutes, a multiple of 8. The front page of the album also contains a character - a character associated with 5 and 8. For example, a set of boxes - white boxes and boxes - black boxes, have the meanings an octave of the piano.
The song "Octavarium" was once like to end with a flute that is similar to the prefix echo song. But the piano is replaced with the same notes of the album Octavarium prefix. Mike Portnoy has said that the series prefix - suffix album will stop here, for the upcoming ninth album will not be preceded by the suffix "Octavarium"
Detailed analysis of the "nuggets" in "Octavarium" (called by Mike Portnoy as "a giant nugget") has been published in an independent site
