I heard somewhere, years ago, that Falling Into Infinity was at one point going to be called Stream of Consciousness.

I've always believed that to be true, but is it?

Yes:  http://www.mikeportnoy.com/aboutmike/faq/answers/31.aspx#342

"How did the album title for Falling Into Infinity come about?
MP: Having sat with "Stream of Consciousness" (the original title) for a whole year, it gave everyone a chance to second guess themselves.  John Petrucci and myself still wanted to call it Stream of Consciousness, but the other guys were starting to think it was too pompous.  So we had to rethink an album title, and we did the usual method of going through all the lyrics, but nothing really knocked us out.  This was the first time that an album title didn't stem from any of the lyrics.  We actually toyed with the idea of just calling it "Dream Theater" because of the many changes and different approach, but we figured that was a cop-out.  Actually John P brought in the idea "Falling Into Infinity" and we all liked it."

Cool post idea, so I’ll have a crack:

FII: Rain
6DOIT: Illusive Mind (fits with the theme too)
TOT: Fearless
8V: I just can’t imagine this anything other than 8V, and is mentioned in the lyrics, so I’m gonnna leave this one.
SC: Through The Abyss
BCASL: The Great Ascent
ADTOE: New Realities (would also have fit perhaps somewhat controversially at the time with the MP/MM change up.
DT: Surrender To The Light
DoT: The Ghost Within

For 8V, how about "Fight or Flight".   based on a lyric in the album. Octavarium is hard to top though..

Yeah, that's the point of having a title, the song title is often mentioned in the lyrics of the vast majority of songs  ;D

You’re only picking on Octavarium, when he picked Forsaken for Systematic?

I can only think A Perfect Sphere for Octavarium. The Dark Eternal Night has a line that could a great title for another album in The Echo of the Universe, but I don’t think it would fit Systematic Chaos.
Thing is - a lot of the albums are perfectly named. Maybe not the self-titled, but when has a self-titled album ever been the perfect name for a record?

Here's my out of context version that made me laugh:

Falling Into Infinity - Throat The Size Of A Boulder
Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence - Beaten To A Pulp
Train of Thought - Touch The Way I Play
Octavarium - Your Ghosts For Me Rest
Systematic Chaos - To Rid Her Of Her
Black Clouds & Silver Linings - Goodbye To The Glowing
A Dramatic Turn of Events - A Demon You Crave
Dream Theater - Cry With Head
Distance Over Time - Limit My Viper

Sounds like the next TikTok challenge.
