Verb or noun in "Dream a little dream of me"?
Is the second 'dream' verb or noun in this song?
Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper "I love you"
Birds singin' in the sycamore trees
Dream a little dream of me
My guess it is 'dream a little, dream (verb) of me'. Or is it like have a little dream about me?

Your second idea is correct.
Dream (verb) a little dream (noun) of me.

Your second idea is correct. The first "dream" is a transitive verb, the second "dream" is a noun. Interestingly, for some reason the phrase "to dream a dream"--and variations on it, like "I dreamed a dream"--are actually quite common. "I dreamed a dream" is almost as common as "I had a dream." Something about the repetition is pleasing.
"I Dreamed a Dream" is actually a song title from the musical "Les Miserables."
