Thanks bibblebub.

But what has minstrelsy got to do with dream?
One could have a bad dream also.
Second definition of Dream in Chambers shows joy;mirth;minstrelsy
Chambers: dream ²: mirth; minstelry; music; sound

(sorry for not putting this originally but i couldnt' be bothered to get up to fetch the dictionary)
(oops, missed out 'joy' as the first definition)
She'll be upset....
i also put the pirate-free version of minstrelsy
Question Author
Thank you all.
It just means that I have to buy Chambers. One Look is not sufficient.
What edition of Chambers is best to buy?
I have the 12th edition - not sure if there's a later edition yet?
i only have the 11th edition
