Feeling the way a dream feels, even though it is really happening. It describes a real scene or experience that has gone strange in the particular way dreams go strange: things are beautiful but slightly off, time moves oddly, ordinary rules seem loosened, and you feel a step removed from it all, as if watching.

Feeling the way a dream feels感覺起來像做夢一樣，even though it is really happening即使那是真實發生的事。It describes它用來形容 a real scene or experience一個真實的場景或經歷 that has gone strange in the particular way dreams go strange以夢境特有的方式變得奇怪：things are beautiful but slightly off事物很美卻又有點不對勁，time moves oddly時間流動得怪怪的，ordinary rules seem loosened平常的規則好像鬆動了，and you feel a step removed from it all而你會覺得自己好像抽離了一步，as if watching像在旁邊看著一樣。

That's what separates it from 'strange' or 'unreal' — dreamlike carries a soft, floating, hazy quality, usually pleasant or at least beautiful, not frightening. For frightening you would say 'nightmarish'.

That's what separates it from 'strange' or 'unreal'這就是它跟'strange'（奇怪）或'unreal'（不真實）不同的地方——dreamlike carries a soft, floating, hazy qualitydreamlike帶有一種柔和、飄浮、朦朧的感覺，usually pleasant or at least beautiful通常是愉悅的，或至少是美的，not frightening而不是令人害怕的。For frightening如果是令人害怕的感覺 you would say 'nightmarish'你會用'nightmarish'（噩夢般的）這個字。

It is a favourite word of film and art writing ('a dreamlike sequence', 'dreamlike imagery'), and it works for places too: fog on a mountain, a quiet street at four in the morning, the first hour after very good news.
