News of his death was shared by the band’s drummer Mike Portnoy, who recently rejoined the band. He took to his social media channels on Friday (November 17) to post his tribute. A mere day before it was set to be released to the market in 2008, Dream, Extinguished was withdrawn by Danny himself, much to the surprise of anticipating fans. For reasons unknown Danny abandoned the entire project, leaving only a sparse quantity of promotional copies in U.S. circulation. As a result Dream, Extinguished became the first and, to date, only title in Danny's discography to not be released, making it the most coveted record in his extensive catalogue. Concluding the post, Portnoy described his death as “a tremendous loss to everyone in the DREAM THEATER family”, and urged fans to watch a documentary from his time in the band called I Can Remember When….

I was texting with him as recently as a few weeks ago when he texted me to congratulate me on my return to DT on the day of the announcement. He was so happy and excited for us all…” he added. The title itself is an allusion to Danny's well-publicized 2006 "retirement" in which he decided to briefly discontinue, or "interrupt", his long-time goal, or "dream", of hitting it big in the music industry. With the success of his third studio album Charm and his subsequent signing to Definitive Jux Records for an EP and music video, Danny has since released a sequel to Dream, Interrupted, aptly titled Dream, Fulfilled.

Dream, Fulfilled, like Dream, Interrupted before it, begins with an excerpt from "Cry Of A Dreamer" by The Sylvers. The album's tagline -- "23 years. 23 more beats. One man. One hour. One destiny."—also bears similarities to that of Dream, Interrupted. The tagline is once again misleading as "Intro" is not an instrumental, giving Dream, Fulfilled a total of 22 full-fledged beats.
