Which is the right word to use dreamed/dreamt.?
I have dreamed of you?
I have dreamt of you?
Either one would be acceptable, I would think. Personally, I would go with the latter.
Me too,sounds better now I think about it.
I have dreampt of you........ past tense
I dreamed of you .....past tense but more present than dreamed
"Dreamt" is a bit old fashioned and comes across as self-consciously poetic.
I'd used "dreamed".
In either case, I'd drop "have". But that's just how I roll.
Both are correct. 'Dreamed' is generally preferred in America, 'dreamt' in Britain. (For all you trivia buffs, 'dreamt' is the only word in the English language which ends with the letters -mt.)
nice to meet you
i think so ,both are right. it's just my opinion.
