The first documented usage of the word "dream" dates back to around 1250-1300 and comes from the Old English word "dream," which originally meant "joy" or "music." The meaning evolved over time to refer to the experiences we have during sleep.

One of my competitors told me that another competitors' tactics were 'gnarly'.It really depends upon the usage of the word... in the first usage, only the plural of the base word 'competitor' is used.
