Comment:        Re: SHK 5.1015  Dreams
 
I hate to throw cold water on Epstein's comment on "dreams are made on," but
most (if not all) editors gloss "on" as "of." See E. A. Abbott, A SHAKESPEARIAN
GRAMMAR, paragraph 181, who quotes various examples, e.g., "Enamour'd on his
follies," 1 Hen. IV (5.2.71).
 
Yours, Bill

Okay, I waited my obligatory day to comment on this.
 
Notwithstanding Bill's comment above:
 
Prospero says "dreams are made on," while Bogart as Sam Spade at the end of
the *Maltese Falcon*, answering Ward Bond's question about the dingus, "What is
it Sam?," replies, "It if the stuff that dreams are made of."
