No, though I'm guessing you've probably seen it in song lyrics with the furigana for ゆめ?
This is a technique when the songwriter wants to focus on a particular meaning of a word by providing the Kanji for it, in this case幻 想 - fantasy, illusion, vision dream, but prefers the sound of a more generic word, ie 夢 「ゆめ」meaning dream. It's a quite common technique that you see often.
