Q
Added 2022-09-13 12:20:22 +0000 UTCIs there a reliable way to separate the concept of:
1) dreams (what we see at night)
and...
2) dreams (our best hopes for the future)
in English? 🤨

Sadly the only reliable way to distinguish the two ways of saying dreams is in the way you word a sentence or phrase

2022-09-14 13:00:52 +0000 UTCI would stick with dreams for what we see at night, but alternative words for our best hopes for the future could be; hopes, aspirations, desires, wishes, ambitions. Whenever I'm stuck on things like this I cheat and use this site; https://www.thesaurus.com/

2022-09-13 17:57:16 +0000 UTCI believe so too. I think the only way to seperate the two is the establish the context?

2022-09-13 15:51:42 +0000 UTCYou can say what I dreamt of last night (sleep). My hopes and dreams for the future (conscious thoughts) Essentially using the surrounding words to emphasize what you are referring to
