Why is it masculine?

Sueños is masculine because it derives from Latin "somnum" (neuter), which became masculine in Spanish following sound changes and analogical patterns that shifted many Latin neuter nouns into the masculine gender during the language's evolution. The -o ending, which typically marks masculine nouns in Spanish, reinforced this classification.
