of my dream

Post by Hung Tao »

Please explain the meaning of " of my dream" in the sentence below:
You are the girl of my dream.
Does it mean "you are the girl I saw in my dream" ?
Thanks a lot.

It's not English: it should read either 'of my dreams' (=of my fantasies) or 'in my dream' (= of whom I recently dreamed).
