means A person who pictures a better or different future and lets that picture guide them, often more comfortable imagining what could be than settling for what is.

from From Middle English 'dreme,' meaning both 'dream' (the sleeping kind) and 'joyful noise' or 'music' — two senses that oddly merged in English even though scholars aren't fully certain they share a root. The older Old English 'dream' meant 'joy, mirth, music,' while the sense of nighttime visions may be related to a Germanic root connected to 'deception' or 'illusion,' seen in Old Norse 'draumr.' By the time 'dreamer' appeared, the word had settled into its night-vision meaning, and from there it was a short leap to anyone who indulges in visions while wide awake — the hopeful, the unrealistic, the ones already living in a future that hasn't voted yet.
