Related also to Old Norse draugr (“ghost, undead, spectre”), Dutch bedrog (“deception, deceit”), German Trug (“deception, illusion”).\n\n\nmore details\n\nThe derivation from Old English drēam is controversial, since the word itself is only attested in writing in its meaning of “joy, mirth, musical sound”. Possibly there was a separate word drēam meaning “images seen while sleeping”, which was avoided in literature due to potential confusion with the “joy” sense. Otherwise, the modern sense must have been borrowed from another Germanic language, most probably Old Norse.1 Since this is the common sense in all Germanic languages outside the British isles, a spontaneous development from “joy, mirth” to “dream” in Middle English is hardly conceivable. In Old Saxon, the cognate drōm did mean “dream”, but was a rare word.\nAttested words for “sleeping vision” in Old English were mǣting (Middle English mæte, mete), from an unclear source, and swefn (Modern English sweven), from Proto-Germanic *swefnaz, from Proto-Indo-European *swepno-, *swep-; compare Ancient Greek ὕπνος (húpnos, “sleep”).\nThe verb is from Middle English dremen, possibly (see above) from Old English drīeman (“to make a joyous sound with voice or with instrument; rejoice; sing a song; play on an instrument”), from Proto-Germanic *draumijaną, *draugmijaną (“to be festive, dream, hallucinate”), from the noun. Cognate with Scots dreme (“to dream”), West Frisian dreame (“to dream”), Dutch dromen (“to dream”), German träumen (“to dream”), Swedish drömma (“to dream, muse”), Icelandic dreyma (“to dream”)." ], "typelist": [ { "name": "Noun", "meanlist": [ { "mean": "Imaginary events seen in the mind while sleeping.\nSynonym: (archaic) sweven\nhave a dream\nscary dream\nvivid dream\nerotic dream\nfeel like a dream\nbe in a dream\nHyponym: nightmare\n1700, Dryden, “The Cock and the Fox: Or, The Tale of the Nun’s Priest, from Chaucer”, in Fables Ancient and Modern; , London: Jacob Tonson, , →OCLC:\nDreams are but interludes which fancy makes.\n1914, Louis Joseph Vance, chapter II, in Nobody, New York, N.Y.: George H Doran Company, published 1915, →OCLC:\nShe wakened in sharp panic, bewildered by the grotesquerie of some half-remembered dream in contrast with the harshness of inclement fact, drowsily realising that since she had fallen asleep it had come on to rain smartly out of a shrouded sky.\n1982, Roland Orzabal (lyrics), “Mad World”, in The Hurting, performed by Tears for Fears:And I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had" }, { "mean": "(figurative) A hope or wish.\nhave a dream\nfulfil a dream\nharbour a dream\nrealize a dream\n1908, W B M Ferguson, chapter IV, in Zollenstein, New York, N.Y.: D.
