'To dream about' differs from 'to dream of'.
The difference is caused by the ambiguous meaning of the word 'to dream'.
- 'To dream about' means to see dreams about something when you sleep.
- 'To dream of' means to have a wish, an ambition, a dream that is beyond reality but can can true in the future.
So the sentence 'I dreamed about a lot of jobs' must be corrected to 'I dreamed of a lot of jobs.'
