Dream and Sleep Idioms

Average: 3.8 (6 votes)

This is a follow up to yesterday's Beyonce music lesson. Dreaming and sleeping are both extremely important to me! Here is a list of idioms related to the subject. Can you guess which sentence needs which idiom?

To 'sleep on it': to think about something overnight, rather than make a decision straight away.
To 'sleep like a log': to sleep heavily, without waking.
To have a 'lie in': to sleep until later than usual.
A 'pipe dream': a wish that is very unlikely to come true.
To be in a 'dream world': to constantly be thinking about what you would like to happen rather than what is happening.
A dream come true: a wish or hope that was realised.
To 'not dream of doing something: to state that you would never do a certain thing.
