   Hi Tim,

   I watched Little Dorrit, the BBC series. When Mr. Clennam woke up, he said to Dorrit, who was beside him:”I dreamed of you.”

   Is that the same? 

   Thanks,

     Hello Amanda. I’m not the teacher Tim, but If I may be so bold, I would like to answer that question.
     Dream of means to consider possible or fitting, to think about something that you want very much.
      For example: wouldn’t dream of disturbing you. 
     I dream of one day working for myself and not having a boss.

     Does it make sense? 
     Regards,
     Joilson

       Yeah, It makes sense.
       Thank you very much indeed!

     Thank you for posting the answer here, Joilson. That’s the way I use it, too.

   Hi Tim. “I hadn’t dreamed for a very long time, but If I could choose I would be dreaming about a nation with no corruption under God.” Changing the subject, I’d like to suggest an idiom for one of the next podcasts. “Bem feito”. When your parents say something like, “Nao faca isso! Voce teima e faz!” Eles dizem, “Bem feito! Eu te avisei, voce nao escuta!” em ingles seria assim, como voce ja deve saber, “Serves you right, I told you, you don’t listen!” Abracao Tim, Deus esteja abencoando o teu trabalho.

     That’s a good dream to have, Vagner! It reminds me of Martin Luther King’s speech, “I have a dream”. Thank you for the suggestion. We’ll do that!

   Hello!

   Is it ok to say: I had a dream about it,  instead of: I dreamed about it?

   Tks! 🙂

     Yes, you can say that, too, Melina.

   Hi Tim, 
   I dreamed about my son-in-law (that is a show-off person), coming back from Miami
   wearing a funny hat and sunglasses, and bragging about himself all the time.
   It was really weird but funny!! rsrs

   Hi, Tim! I’m glad to hear you again…

   So… I dreamed about my youngest son last night. He has moved to Espirito Santo and I miss him…

   Thanks for your help…

     It must be hard to have your son so far away, Irene. I hope you can see him in person soon.

   Hi, people.
   Agreeing with what Joilson said to Amanda: “I always dreamed of being rich and famous”.
   I’m kidding. That’s just a statement. 

   P.S.: Where’s Tim?

     I’m here! 🙂 Sorry, had a rather busy day today. Good sentence, by the way! That’s the way I use “dream of”, too.

      Hello, José Luiz! I perfectly understood your sentence; but the correct preposition is “look forward TO”. The rest of the sentence is correct.

        Tim, I don’t know how many times I said “Thanks”, but once more “Thanks again”.

      You can already travel to Japan, Custodio! Just “jump in the water” and start talking to people! 🙂
