An example from canon to consider in the meantime:

    bInajtaHvIS qeylIS Daghomjaj.
    May you encounter Kahless in your dreams! PK

This can be translated more colloquially as "May you dream of meeting Kahless!"

All of these are work-arounds for the fact that the verb {naj} "dream" 
seems to be intransitive - i.e. it does not take an object.
