Item 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER

This Schedule 13D relates to the shares of Common Stock
of Dreman/Claymore Dividend & Income Fund ("DCS" or the "Issuer").
The principal executive offices of DCS are located at

Dreman/Claymore Dividend & Income Fund
2455 Corporate West Drive
Lisle, IL 60532


Item 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND
This statement is filed on behalf of Bulldog Investors,
Phillip Goldstein, 60 Heritage Drive,Pleasantville, NY
10570 a principal of Bulldog Investors and Andrew Dakos,
Park 80 West,Saddle Brook, NJ 07663, also a principal of
Bulldog Investors. Mr.Goldstein and Mr. Dakos are self-employed
investment advisors.

On January 31, 2007 the Acting Director of the Securities Division
of the Massachusetts Secretary of State (the Securities Division)
filed a complaint against Bulldog Investors, Messrs. Goldstein,
Samuels, Dakos and Das and certain related parties (the Bulldog Parties)
alleging that they violated Massachusetts law by making information about
certain unregistered investments available on their website and by
sending material about such investments to an individual who requested
such material.  On October 17, 2007 the Secretary issued a cease and
desist order based on the same allegations and ordered that a fine be
imposed on the Bulldog Parties of $25,000, but stayed the imposition of
sanctions until the Massachusetts Superior Court issued a ruling on
the Bulldog Parties motion described in the next paragraph.
On November 15, 2007 the Bulldog Parties filed a timely appeal in
Massachusetts Superior Court of the Secretarys October 17, 2007 order.
On July 18, 2008, as part of the appeal, the Bulldog Parties filed a
motion in Massachusetts Superior Court for summary judgment setting aside
and vacating the Secretarys order. On March 23, 2007 the Bulldog
Parties filed a lawsuit in Massachusetts Superior Court to enjoin the
aforementioned enforcement action on, among others grounds, that it
violates the Bulldog Parties right of free speech under the
First Amendment to the Constitution.  On December 21, 2007 the
Massachusetts Superior Court ruled that information communicated by
the Bulldog Parties has not been shown to be either misleading or
related to unlawful activity but denied the Bulldog Parties motion for a
preliminary injunction because the Court is not in the position of
evaluating evidence and making ultimate findings as it would do after trial.
On January 18, 2008 the Bulldog Parties filed a notice of appeal with
the Massachusetts Superior Court of that Courts denial of their motion
for a preliminary injunction.  Any appeal from a ruling of the Massachusetts
Superior Court would first be decided by the Appeals Court of Massachusetts or,
at its option, by the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts.
The Bulldog Parties also intend to pursue their First Amendment
Claim at trial.
On March 25, 2008 the Bulldog Parties filed an amended complaint in
Massachusetts Superior Court to include a claim that the Secretary does
not have personal jurisdiction over them.  On April 4, 2008 the Secretary
filed a motion to dismiss the Bulldog Parties claim of lack of personal
jurisdiction. On July 18, 2008 the Bulldog Parties filed a motion
in Massachusetts Superior Court (1) for a preliminary injunction on the
grounds that the Secretary does not have personal jurisdiction over them
and (2) for reconsideration of their motion for a preliminary injunction
based on their First Amendment claim. In September 2008, those motions
to reconsider were denied and have been appealed to the Massachusetts
Court of Appeals.

ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS AND OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
Shares of the Issuer have been accumulated on behalf of managed
accounts.

Item 4 is amended as follows:

Senior Managing Director, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary
Claymore Advisors, LLC

Dear Mr. Robinson:
The board of trustees of the DWS Dreman High Return Fund recently terminated
an investment management agreement with Dreman Value Management. I am the
beneficial owner of shares in the Dreman/Claymore Dividend & Income Fund with
a value in excess of $2,000.00. I have held these shares for over 12 months
and plan to continue to hold them through the next meeting of stockholders.
Pursuant to rule 14a-8 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 I am proposing
that shareholders of Dreman/Claymore Dividend & Income Fund also terminate its
investment advisory agreement with Dreman Value Management.  The proposal and
a supporting statement for inclusion in managements proxy materials for the
next meeting of stockholders are presented below.

********

RESOLVED:  The investment management agreement between Dreman/Claymore Dividend
& Income Fund and Dreman Value Management, LLC shall be terminated.

SUPPORTING STATEMENT

On September 24, 2007 I made one of the worst investment decisions of my life.
On that day, I purchased 3,000 shares of Dreman/Claymore Dividend & Income Fund
(DCS) at $19.90 per share for a total of $59,700.Given David Dremans prominence
as a columnist for Forbes and his reputation as an accomplished value investor,
I thought I was in good hands. I was wrong.

By March 16, 2009, my investment had declined to $3,630, a loss (excluding
dividends) of 94% in less than 18 months. Admittedly, market conditions have not
been ideal recently but who would ever expect to incur losses of that magnitude?
At its peak,the net asset value of DCS common shares was more than $1.1 billion.
By early March 2009 the NAV had fallen to $63 million.  Thus, Mr. Dreman ' s
management generated a peak-to-trough loss of more than $1 billion -- in less
than 18 months!

How is it possible for a value oriented closed-end mutual fund to lose so much
money so quickly? The answer is a fatal combination of horrendous stock picking
and excessive leverage.  Back in October 2007, Mr. Dreman was heavily invested
in financial companies like Washington Mutual because he felt it is likely the
stock will begin to recover in advance of earnings improvement. Other big
mistakes were Wachovia and Bank of America, which he said were strong companies
that have the ability to recover from industry-wide mortgage problems. Finally,
Mr. Dreman invested almost 13% of DCS assets in Fannie Mae in the erroneous
belief that its mortgage losses . . . are likely to be much lower than those
incurred by commercial and retail banks.

These terrible stock picks were leveraged through the issuance of $425 million
in auction rate preferred shares.  When DCSs NAV began to fall precipitously,
it had to redeem a significant percentage of the preferred shares. That, in
turn, led to forced selling into an illiquid market and the Fund went into
what was effectively a death spiral.

I wrote to Mr. Dreman to see if he had an explanation for his poor performance
but he did not respond.  Perhaps he has no remorse about losing $1 billion of
our money.  I have concluded that shareholders of DCS, given its tiny size, are
unlikely to recoup much of their losses as long as Mr. Dreman is managing the
Fund.

In my opinion, DCS is effectively a zombie fund.  I dont know why the board of
directors has not yet fired Mr. Dreman.  Perhaps they are shell shocked.
In any event, shareholders can vote to terminate his advisory agreement.
Otherwise, the NAV could eventually go below zero because DCS is still
leveraged.  The choice is clear.  It is time for Mr. Dreman to go!

Very truly yours,

Phillip Goldstein
Principal
