Sapnas, yes, that is dream in the sense of that thing we do when we sleep. Svajone, which I mentioned, is "dream" in the sense of "I have a dream" or "daydream".
I also find references to Lithuanian there when I look things up, it's a thing I enjoy about knowing the language, which is otherwise not very "practical". (I was born and still live in the US, so I speak it only with friends and family). It's a "conservative" language, meaning it is believed to have changed less over the years than a lot of modern Indo-European languages. It also has a grammar that is quite complicated compared to most.
