    now I see the problem. Can’t even read others posts. wondering what might happen does not normally have the same meaning as dreaming of it.

    let me spell it out even though I’m now on ignore because I have developed a habit of pointing out his reinterpretations of his and others posts

    wondering typically means think about, contemplating, imaging. It’s a useful process because it can help to identify unintended consequences. It does not, under normal circumstances, have any meaning overlay of desire

    dreaming of typically means either the subconscious meanderings of the mind at night or day - which is very different from the intentional thought involved in wondering - or desirous of, wanting, imagining in an acquisitive sense. Again very different from the meaning of wondering.

    Most people wouldn’t muddle the two up either
