Etymology
Phono-semantic compound (形聲 /形声, OC *mids): abbreviated semantic 㝱 (“dream”) + phonetic 未 (OC *mɯds). Original form may have been an ideogrammic compound (會意 /会意): 宀 (“house”) + 爿 (“bed”) + 人 (“person”) – a person sleeping on a bed in a room. Compare ancient forms of 夢. From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *rV-mi(k) (“to sleep; to dream”) (STEDT under *r/s-mwəy). Cognate with Tibetan རྨི་བ (rmi ba, “to dream”), Tibetan རྨི་ལམ (rmi lam, “dream”).
