What does SWEVEN mean in Scrabble?
noun
archaicpoetic
A dream or vision seen during sleep.
Sweven is an old poetic word for the images that come to a sleeper, and it turns up almost only in medieval-flavoured verse and in fantasy writing that wants an antique tone. It carries a hint of prophecy that the plain word dream lacks, since such sights were once thought to foretell events. Because it is short and unusual, it is also a favourite among word-game players.
