معنی
Wishing someone well while sleeping.
زمینه فرهنگی
Turkish people often combine multiple goodnight wishes. It's common to hear 'İyi geceler, tatlı rüyalar, Allah rahatlık versin' all in one go. In some regions, dreams are discussed the next morning over breakfast, but only if they were 'sweet'. Bad dreams are often told to running water (like a tap) so they 'flow away'. In urban settings, 'Tatlı rüyalar' is the go-to sign-off for dating app conversations to show interest and warmth without being too aggressive. While 'Tatlı rüyalar' is secular, more conservative families might prefer 'Allah rahatlık versin', though both can be used together.
Add an Endearment
To make it sound even more natural, add 'canım' (my dear) at the end: 'Tatlı rüyalar canım'.
Watch the Plural
Never say 'Tatlı rüya'. It sounds like you're rationing their dreams!
