The phrase "dreary of" is not a commonly used expression in English.
It is possible that it may be used in some contexts, but generally it would not be considered a grammatically correct or widely accepted construction. One possible way it could be used is in a sentence like: "The dreary of winter seemed never-ending." However, even in this example, it might sound more natural to say "the dreariness of winter" or "the dreary winter." Overall, it would be best to avoid using "dreary of" and instead use alternative phrasing that is more commonly used and accepted in written English.
