I think the reason for no one meeting Kate via "The Dreaming" is that, to my
understanding, it made the least impact on the British charts.  It was a
pretty startling departure/continuation of her usual sound, and some people
found it just too weird.  Also, I don't think the singles were well
promoted.  (this is all what I read in the Illustrated biography)
