Did I do this right?

"in the water of my dreams" = в воде моих мечт

Is the Russian correct?

No, word "мечта" has no Plural Genitive. It has a strong comic effect.

But you could say "В воде моих мечтаний" or "В воде моих грез" (it means the same as your sentence). The latter is more poetic.

Can you elaborate a bit on how it's used? :)
And would it be better if I used сонов for this phrase?

EDIT

Греза! I see it in my dictionary now. I like that. Спасибо!

Снов (The second "o" is not needed). You may say so, of course, but note that in Russian "сны" and "мечты" usually mean different things (even if in English you have the same word for them). "Сны" are images you see in your sleep, "мечты" are your utmost desires.

Yeah, it's my fault, I omitted the dots. It should be "грёза"- "грёз"
In Russian we often use "e" instead of "ё" in written speech (but pronounce it as "ё" anyway). "Ё" is usually used only in childrens books. Then kids learn to omit it too. :)

в водах моих мечтаний
or
в море моих грез (it is poetic translate)

Is it a poetry? Your task is difficult. It would be more easy if I knew more than one line.

Is the nominative сон? Is it just a special case of losing its "o"? It might be a rule I haven't learned yet, so sorry for all the questions. ^^

That's what my book said too. XD I don't want to develop a habit of writing ё if it's not normally used. But I definitely appreciate it when I'm learning a word for the first time.

It's poetic, but it's not a poem, so there's only one line. ^^ I want to write it on my homepage, because my domain is DreamwaterSprings.com.

Спасибо :-D
I wasn't sure if вода was the right term to use.
