Sentence tense form
Is there any difference between these:
Last night, I had a dream of you.
Last night, I dreamed of you.
Is the use of 'had' in the first sentence correct, and are they both in the simple past form?
Thanks.

The past tenses are both correct. about is more natural that of in this case. Of would be more appropriate in something like "I dream of world peace".

Thanks. So do they both mean the same basically? And are they considered simple past tenses?

Note:
Most of the time you add -ed to a verb to put it in the past tense; jump becomes jumped, for example. So verbs taking an -ed are called regular verbs. The less common past tense forms that end with a t, such as dreamt, are called irregular verbs.
In my opinion dreamed is more likely to de
