dream of doing– Something a person would never consider doing



Example 1:
Marco: Did you ever
imagine we would be trekking the Andes?
Chuck: Two weeks
ago, I wouldn’t have dreamed of it!
Marco: Yes, this is
an unbelievable experience.
Chuck: Next, we
should go trekking in the jungles of Guatemala.

Example 2:
Juan: I can’t
believe I’ve been living in Taipei for three years now.
Erick: Yeah, you
said you would never travel abroad.
Juan: It’s true, I wouldn’t dream of moving to Taiwan
before graduating college.

that’s how it goes sometimes.
