正夢

[tōkai devotee]

How do you read the following Kanji?
正夢?
I know it's means true dream, but is it しょうむ？せいむ？or what?!
Neither of them seem right. They're not in my dictionaries at least. Is there another reading for 夢 other than 'mu'?

Thanks!

まさゆめ。。。 That's what I found. I haven't studied that word, ever tough. So if someone else answers, I'd probably go with theirs.

According to my dictionary, 正夢 is pronounced まさゆめ. I guess it means "true dream", but rather, a dream that came true or to fruition, as the saying goes. With that said, 夢 is pronounced ゆめ, not mu. This is the "dream" part of the compound above. Also, if Chris, Tony, or Mike would enjoy chewing me apart because I did something horribly wrong here, I'm ready. At least I know I tried

Thanks, people!
I know 夢 on its own is pronounced ゆめ、but I didn't think it'd be so next to another kanji.

Yes it is.

Mu is the on-yomi (Chinese reading) and yume is the kun-yomi (Japanese reading).

For example:
悪夢: あくむ　(Nightmare)

According to tradition, the first dream of the new year is a 正夢 so whatever you see in that first dream will come true.

tokai devoteeさん　こんばんは。
正夢はWWWJDIC にありますよ。
「夢」で検索をかけると、いろいろ出てきます。

My guess would have しょうむ like tokai, so I'm no help.
