Origin

Middle English: of Germanic origin, related to Dutch droom and German Traum, and probably also to Old English drēam 'joy, music'.

Although it corresponds to Dutch droom and German Traum and thus comes from a Germanic root, dream is not recorded in Old English. In the main modern sense dream did not appear until the Middle Ages, although an earlier dream meaning ‘joy’ and ‘music’ did occur in Old English and may be related. Dreams are often pleasant, sometimes unrealistically so, and numerous popular phrases refer to this. To go like a dream is recorded from the early 20th century; in your dreams is from the 1980s. The city of dreaming spires is Oxford. The name comes from a line in the poem ‘Thyrsis’ (1866) by Matthew Arnold.
