PG *draumijaną, Dutch dromen, German träumen, derived from the noun PG *draumaz, ON draumr, Dutch droom, German Traum. The same sense is not attested for OE drēam “joy,” and so it is unclear whether the noun ME drēm, MnE dream was inherited from PG or borrowed from ON. Accordingly, the verb ME drēmen, MnE dream either represents PG *draumijaną or derives from the ME noun. Preterite variant dreymdi, participle dreymdr.
