Our story of Jhream
Our story of Jhream is a story of a spelling and a word that changed sides. English had dream meaning joy and music, and then took a Norse word of the same shape meaning a sleeping vision, and the second sense drove out the first entirely. Jhream is a very recent American respelling of the modern word, appearing in the registers in the 2010s in small numbers. The word's history is remarkable; the spelling's is one decade long.
Meaning
dream
The Old English dream meant 'joy', 'mirth' or 'music', not a sleeping vision; the modern sense appears to have come from the Norse draumr after the Danish settlement. The shift is one of the sharper semantic breaks in English. The modern word is ordinary and its meaning undisputed.
