Mensagem:  I do understand your point upon the difference about "tired of / tired from", but it does not apply the same way as it is said/thought in Portuguese, I mean, this difference is not this clear to native speakers. As I said before, the most usual form is tired of. Here's an example: i) "to speak/talk to" somebody "to speak/talk with" somebody ii) "to think/dream of" something "to think/dream about" something -- both ways are right.
