French term

rêve de partage

Non-PRO French to English Other General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters
Proche de la nature, leprenom aime la simplicité, le naturel et déteste les artifices. Elle a aussi l'âme romantique, des aspirations humanitaires et un ***rêve de partage***, d'osmose ou de symbiose avec les êtres qu'elle aime. Elle a un esprit charitable et sensitif qui la sensibilise à la religion, à la poésie, à la musique, au merveilleux, au lointain, aux voyages...

I can't for the life of me figure out how to translate this, especially with osmosis and symbiosis... I'd appreciate your help m'ssieursdames!

Well that's how I understood it, what do you mean exactly?
B D Finch Dec 15, 2011:
@Kelly She might, but that is not what the French says.
Kelly Harrison (asker) Dec 15, 2011:
She dreams of sharing through unity, cooperation and synergy...?
Bourth (X) Dec 14, 2011:
I had a dream I had a dream that words like "osmosis" and "symbiosis" were banned from the English language, except in scientific contexts, and were replaced by "merging, blending, cooperating" etc. in most other cases.
Kelly Harrison (asker) Dec 14, 2011:
It still sounds strange by osmosis...
B D Finch Dec 14, 2011:
Nightmare! The desire element is certainly there, but one needn't make the translation more explicit about it than the source.
kashew Dec 14, 2011:
"Darn that dream" de partage, d'osmose ou de symbiose avec les êtres - a lot of stuff with a lot of people!
Why not "desire"?
Verginia Ophof Dec 14, 2011:
partager/partage typo ?

she dreams of sharing

As for osmosis and symbiosis, it sounds like she could be quite overpowering to those she likes!
