rubbed thyme is rubbed down to a powder. dried thyme is the leaves dried out, without it being rubbed down to a powder.
you can use dried thyme - but remember that dried herbs are stronger that fresh ones so you need less of them. If you dont have thyme, then you could try a bay leaf, parsley or even garlic powder
