in esperanto: Mi ne havas memoris de mia revis nakton antau.
Is everything correct in my esperanto sentence? If so how could i fix it
note*revis-revi is a word i made up (I couldn't find the right word on the net),
I took from the french word reve meaning dream. Since esperanto is an evolving langauge i thought i would give it my two cents.

The word "revo" means "dream" in Esperanto, but only in the sense of a strong desire or hope (having dreams for your children, dreams of a better future, etc). The word "sonĝo" means "dream" in the sense of what happens when you sleep, and is the most appropriate word for the meaning you're after.
Remember that in Esperanto, the -is ending is for verbs (past tense), so "memoris" means "remembered". "Mi ne memoris" = "I didn't remember". Or else "Mi ne havas memoron" = "I don't have memory". Therefore, "revis" is actually a correct word (from "revi") but it is also a verb, meaning "dreamed", according to the meaning I gave above. It will help your Esperanto a lot if you remember to distinguish between nouns (-o ending, -oj for plural) and verbs (-i, -as, -os, -is)
Also, don't forget to take advantage of the lernu dictionary. I know you said you couldn't find the Esperanto word for "dream" online, but it is found in the lernu dictionary, so I encourage you to take advantage of that as a resource!

Let us consider two cases as examples; there are of course many other possibilities:
(a) We have a statement of fact, which refers to the author's waking moment:
'Vekigxinte, mi ne memoris iu ajn songxon de la pasinta nokto.'
(b) We have a complaint, and the author is trying to remember the dream at the moment of reporting, but cannot:
'Mi ne povas memori iu ajn songxon de la pasinta nokto.'
