Morphology

dreamlessly = dreamless (semi-transparent) = dream + less + ly

Although the form is analyzable as 'dream' + '-less' + '-ly', the sense 'lacking imagination or aspiration' is a figurative extension and not fully predictable from the literal components.

Etymology

The word dreamlessly comes from dream and the ending -less, where -less means 'without', like in hopeless. So, dreamlessly can also mean living or acting 'without hopes or imagination'.
