| Phrase | dream on |
| Text | In this podcast, the phrase "dream on" is an informal, slightly rude phrase used to show that what another person has asked for or is hoping for will not happen and is an impossible fantasy: "Do you really think Ted is going to pick you for the promotion? Dream on!" The phrase "to dream (something) up" means to think of a creative or unusual idea or plan, especially if it is unlikely to succeed: "How long did it take you to dream up that idea?" Or, "Who dreamt up that crazy plan?" Finally, the phrase "to dream away" means to waste time thinking about silly, unimportant things: "Gisele got a part-time job instead of dreaming away her summer vacation." |
