Is it "I dreamed" or "I dreamt"?

The past tense and past participle of the word dream is dreamt.

Either is fine.

Both are correct. In either case it is the past tense of the verb ‘to dream’.

Both are acceptable; it’s at your discretion. “Dreamt” was most likely the original and “dreamed” came about because of it’s similarity to other “regular” past-tense verb forms. Same goes for “leaped” and “leapt”.

I often hear my partner saying “I dreamed”, whereas I say “I dreamt”.

Thanks!

As long as you are both still dreaming about each other, it’s all good.

Enjoy

Both. Same as burnt and burned. I think it is regional differences.

British English is usually, “I dreamt”; American is, “I dreamed.” (Which is probably why your and your partner’s usage is different.)

Similar issues with “dived” and “dove,” and “hanged” and hung.” “Hanged” is pretty much reserved today for execution.

I say, “dreamt”. I think it’s pretty funny that the spell checker on fluther doesn’t recognize the word.

@janbb Must be! :)

@EmptyNest

Never heard “dremt” used. You sure you don’t mean “drempt?”

@CaptainHarley That’s a Yiddish word! :-)

@janbb: So’s_verklempt._

@CaptainHarley: dreamt.

My spell checker says it’s “dreamed.”

Again, Brit vs. American usage.

Also Southern US.I’ve used “drempt” my entire life.

Yes they both work just fine. Aesthetically from a literary stand point, I like “dreamt” just a tad bit more however :)

Both will work like said above but I’ve noticed from reading books by British authors that they tend to stick with using words ending in t rather than ed for past tense purposes like learnt instead of learned, etc.
