Scenario IV: Dread Dreams is the fourth full-length album by the band Sigh. It was released by Cacophonous Records originally in 1999.

This album shows the traits of Sigh continuing to explore their more well known avant-garde, experimental sound. An example would be on "Black Curse" where Sigh have a standard black metal sound that eventually part way through turns into a mild funk riff and a country guitar sound. Sigh would expand on this type of experimental sound on the album Imaginary Sonicscape .

This was their last album for the Cacophonous label. Their next album appeared on Century Media.
