I used to believe it is "Dreamt", but I've recently noticed that "Dreamed" is used a lot as well. This confuses me so much! Which one is correct? O:

I think "dreamt" is correct as well.
Then again, I'm too lazy to check a dictionary.

Same here, I believe that it is 'dreamt' but then again, with the English language, you can never tell.

I have never seen it used as 'dreamed.' I always see it as 'dreamt.'

You'd think more people in this guild would've heard of a dictionary.

Both "dreamt" and "dreamed" are correct, but one or the other might be more common depending on where you are. If I remember this correctly, "dreamt" is more commonly used in British English, and "dreamed" is more common in American English.

Dreamed is just the lazy way of adding "ed" to a verb to make it past tense. Dreamt is the appropriate and should be used on College papers and Thesis.
