El proyecto de ley estadounidense llamado "Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act" (Ley de Fomento para el Progreso, la Asistencia y la Educación para Menores Extranjeros) se conoce también como "DREAM Act", que en este contexto puede traducirse como "ley por un sueño". A partir de este acrónimo "DREAM", se ha creado una nueva acepción del sustantivo "dreamer": se trata de un juego de palabras que aúna los significados de "potencial beneficiario de la ley por un sueño" y "soñador", término estrechamente vinculado a la historia de Estados Unidos y su sueño americano. 1, record 1, Spanish, - so%C3%B1ador

soñador: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que el sustantivo "soñador" es una alternativa al anglicismo "dreamer", utilizado en los Estados Unidos para aludir a los ciudadanos indocumentados que llegaron a ese país siendo menores de edad. 1, record 1, Spanish, - so%C3%B1ador
