If it's alone, it's wrong. If it's part of a longer sentence it has the same meaning as I said, but it's correct

A: @tathibichngoc Yep! In English, “manifest your dreams” is more of an idiomatic expression (the words don’t have a literal meaning). If you wanted to be closer to the definition of “manifest,” then you can say that the phrase means to “try to make your dreams appear.” This definition is a little unnatural sounding, so I changed it to “achieve your dreams!”

In some cases "dream of" can mean "think of" or literally 夢の中でやること,

I told you ABOUT your dream was a difficult one --- is not more detailed. It is simply incoherent.

You could say ---

Or
You told me about your dream

In ---
I told you THAT
the article That is directing the action. The verb is Told. What did I tell you? THAT the dream was difficult.

"About" indicates that you described the dream

They function completely differently

A: The first one doesn't sound very correct. When you say 'give up your dreams' it sounds like you are literally lifting up your dreams and giving them up (upwards). The second one means simply to 'give up'. Example: After i realised that my dreams were too self-centred i quickly gave up on them; Never give up on your dreams, except if they turn out not to be yours but the dreams of others.

A: Both are okay. (1) means the dream you cherish most and (2) means a dream which is very important and might be secret.

You can also just say "this is my dream". If you tell people about your dream, they will assume it is "fond", so you only have to say that if you want to.

A: - pretty good, just a couple of tweaks:
[a bit / a little] later [I dreamt] of him.
In this dream he's [wearing] his iconic shirt and he grabs my arm and tells me with a smile that he didn't mean what he said, that actually he [does like] me.
From that moment I've been hoping [for] this dream to come true.

A: Or perhaps you want to say “My hope is that you succeed, because your dreams are my dreams,”

A: other random options:
(kind of cutesy)
- nighty night
- sleep tight and don't let the bed bugs bite!
- sleep tight!

(simple, what I say in text chats)
