Well, the BG was moving and had account problems. I'm back now.
In answer to your question, no, there is no noun for "dream". What is a
"dream", anyway? It all depends on the context. It could be an event -
<wanI'> - or a time period - <poH>. You're simply not going to find a simple
noun or noun phrase that you can generically plug in for "dream". That's
what makes languages fun. Here are some Klingon sentences about dreaming.
Let's see how you would translate them into English.
Do'Ha' 'eqqu'mo' vemmeH repwIj, ngaj najmeH poHwIj.
Qel, wa'Hu' ram jInajtaHvIS, toQ vImoj. yIpoj. nuq 'oS?
najlu'chu'DI', wanI' Dun law' yuch Dun puS.
