Prepositions - question no. 3: worth dreaming of/about

Hello there,

Yesterday I told some of my friends that Dodge Challenger is the only car worth dreaming about and I instantly started thinking if I should have used of instead of about.

Are both equally correct?

Thanks

Perfect Stranger I instantly started thinking if I should have used of instead of about. You need to change your priorities. That is the problem here: students get fixated on trivia, and the advice they get sometimes just exacerbates that problem.
