Past tense of dream; experienced dreams during sleep or indulged in daydreams and aspirations while awake.
From Old English 'drēam' meaning 'joy, music, mirth,' not sleep visions. The modern sense of sleep imagery came from Old Norse 'draumr.' The two meanings merged in Middle English.
The past tense 'dreamed' versus 'dreamt' represents an interesting linguistic split - 'dreamed' is more common in American English, while 'dreamt' predominates in British English, yet both are equally correct.
