Dreamier

/ˈdriːmiər/ adjective

Definition

Comparative form of dreamy; more characterized by dreams, imagination, or a distant, abstracted quality.

Etymology

From dreamy (adjective) + -er (comparative suffix). The -er suffix creates the comparative degree of adjectives, comparing two instances.

Kelly Says

Dreamy → dreamier → dreamiest follows English's regular comparative pattern for short adjectives, but it sounds slightly awkward since 'dream' has only one syllable—this is why speakers often say 'more dreamy' instead.
