I am writing a neo-gothic poem in English and Ulfilan Gothic. It is inspired by one of many depressing events that happened to Greuthungi around 280-300 a.d. 

This verse, entitled Lady Ranilo's Dream , is proving difficult for me to write in Gothic. In fact, I am in over my head, not an unusual occurrence for me. the poem begins

"I dreamt of raging borderlords
Whose wrath consumed the plains
For ancient wrongs, hard-riding hordes
Did burn, and burn again."

Trouble is, I cannot find a Gothic word for dream, neither noun nor verb. Have I been looking in all the wrong places? I ask your assistance.

If we don't have an attested word handy, I will suggest something like draum(s)/draumjan which could arguably be consistent with the West Germanic and North Germanic expressions, as to conjugation, anticipation of umlaut, etc.

Many thanks for your kind help.
