It all depends...see note


Explanation:
You really need to supply a sentence here, I think. If this is something like
vacaciones de ensueño or casa de ensueño then "dream" holiday/house would be accurate. Paisaje de ensueño would be dreamscape so it would all depend in English. It could also mean dreamlike or even dreamy...
