Weird Word Wednesday- Sweven

Tweet

Sweven is a new word to me. It's a noun, meaning a dream or vision. It's origin is Old English: swefn (dream). I think it would sound odd to use sweven in everyday conversation. It's a beautiful word though, and I can imagine it used in a poem or fairy tale. I've had vivid dreams since I was a child and I often remember them. Sometimes I write them down. My dreams have even helped me work through emotional turmoil, grief, etc. Have you ever heard the word sweven? Also, please share your experiences with dreams or visions.
