Etymology


The phrase "to dream about" combines the verb "dream," which comes from Old English "drēam" meaning joy or music but evolved to mean visions during sleep, with the preposition "about," indicating the subject of the dream. Did you know that originally, "dream" was associated more with joy than with sleep visions?
