means The images, stories, and sensations that play out in the mind during sleep — and, by extension, the hopes and ambitions a person yearns to achieve.

from From Old English 'drēam,' which curiously meant 'joy, mirth, music, noise' rather than sleeping visions. The modern 'sleep-vision' sense seems to have entered Middle English, possibly reinforced by related Norse and Germanic words (compare Old Norse 'draumr' and Dutch 'droom'). Scholars still debate whether the cheerful Old English word and the night-vision sense are truly the same root or two streams that merged — a fittingly hazy origin for a word about haze.
