"In my dream, I ran through a meadow full of flowers" -> 夢の中で、花がいっぱい草地で走っていた

Question

So, I'm trying to build "In my dream, I ran through a meadow full of flowers" in Japanese, but I'm having some problems...

Is 夢の中で a valid way of saying "In the dream"?
Should that comma be there?
The 花がいっぱい草地で　to say "In a field/meadow full of flowers" part is correct?

See この道をまっすぐ行ってください。 Why を and not で?. — istrasci, Mar 17 '21 at 00:10

@A.Ellett That only answers part 3 of the questions, but not parts 1 and 2. — ajsmart, Mar 17 '21 at 19:07
@ajsmart Very true. I had a brain fart maybe? Thanks for bringing it to my attention. — A.Ellett, Mar 17 '21 at 19:44

Yes.

It doesn't matter.

The 花がいっぱい草地で　to say "In a field/meadow full of flowers" part is correct?

No. Your sentence is perfectly grammatical but 花がいっぱい走っていた means "flowers were running in flocks". You have to say 花がいっぱいの草地を走っていた. いっぱい without の is an adverb that modifies the next verb (走る). With this の, 花がいっぱい is parsed as a relative clause that modifies 草地:

草地は花がいっぱいだ。
The field is full of flowers.
花がいっぱいの草地
the field which is full of flowers

And to say "through/across", you need to use を before 走る. See: この道をまっすぐ行ってください。 Why を and not で?

thanks a lot! This is a very well explained answer. <3 – Victor Bittencourt Mar 21 '21 at 14:54 — Victor Bittencourt, Mar 21 '21 at 14:54
