dream of
Yearn for mentally
To dream of something is to imagine or fantasize about it, usually something desired but perhaps unlikely: She dreams of becoming a famous singer, I dream of owning a house by the sea.
The phrase often implies longing or aspiration.
In the negative, it means to consider even briefly: I wouldn't dream of asking for more money.
