Mientras junto al balcón hacía saltar los pedacillos de boj entre sus dedos, cada pensamiento suyo era un dolor. Veía en el porvenir su vida, una vida triste y monótona. Ella también soñaba en el amor y la maternidad, y si no lloraba en aquellos momentos al ver la indiferencia de los demás, era para que sus lágrimas no dejasen huellas en el bordado. (Águeda, Pío Baroja 1872-1956)

She too dreamed/dreamt of love (and motherhood)
There is nothing wrong with Robert's answer. This is another option. I liked rendering "maternidad" more literally, as it is a state of being, a state of mind. I have used "too" instead of "also" for clarity. The form I have used requires a different of preposition: of. I don't know if you need to make this a British English or American English translation. Notes: Americans may slightly prefer dreamed and the British dreamt, but both occur frequently in American ... Default Re: Dreamed / dreamt ... Home Country: UK.
