Cultural Note
'Rêve' is central to French romantic expression. 'L'homme/la femme de mes rêves' (the man/woman of my dreams) is a classic phrase. The surrealist movement, born in France, elevated dreams as a source of truth and beauty. 'De rêve' after a noun means 'dream' as in ideal: 'une vie de rêve' (a dream life).
