Dream



A dream is an online feature in and  that allows players to visit other dream towns (dream islands in ). Unlike regular town visits. some areas (like Main Street or Town Hall) are inaccessible and player cannot take any items from this town (if they are lying on the ground).

While initially absent from, dreams were added in the 1.4.0 Free Summer Update Wave 2. Unlike the previous game, the player can sleep on the regular bed rather than in the Dream Suite.

In
Once a day, the player can share a dream of their own town with other players by lying down on the couch. Luna will ask the player whether or not custom designs from the town can be taken by visitors; if the player allows this, Wendell will appear in dreams of the town to provide the designs to dreamers. Luna will then tell the player their town's Dream Address and pay the player 5,000 Bells.

The first time the player uploads the dream of their town, Luna will add the town's Dream Address to the player's Town Pass Card. After later updates, Luna will tell the player how many other players have dreamed of their towns. The player may also talk directly to Luna to have the dream of their town deleted.

Before update, a Dream Address consisted of 12 digits; however, after update they now contain hexadecimal values. All towns shared before this update were removed.

In
To begin a dream, the player must lie down on the bed and pay Luna 500 Bells. They may then choose to visit a random town, input the Dream Address of a specific town to visit, or search for a town. They may then choose to visit a previously visited town or a random town, or to input the dream address of a new town to visit. While dreaming, the player may walk around the town and perform actions just as they would in the real world, but their actions will have no effect on the town.

While dreaming, the bed will be on the dream town's plaza. Luna and Lloid stand near it until the player decides to wake up. Players can borrow tools like a shovel and axe from Lloid to use within the dream. If the player lies on the bed a second time, they will leave the dream and anything they have in their pockets will be lost.

The player cannot go to Main Street or enter any buildings with doors besides homes. Additionally, messages left on the bulletin board cannot be read; instead, the board displays the town's name and Dream Address. If the player who uploaded the town chose to allow their custom designs to be taken, the dreaming player will be able to talk to Wendell to access the designs. Regardless, custom designs on display in the town, such as on the ground and in houses, will be visible. The player who uploaded the town can also be found walking about. When spoken to, they will say their recorded greeting.

Upon returning from a dream selected by Luna, if the player tells Luna that they had a nightmare, Luna will not send the player to the town again.

If the player attempts to enter Re-Tail, it will say "Temporarily closed forever." since it is just a dream. Main Street is also inaccessible because a train is in the way, and the Roost sign will say "Closed 24 hours."

If a villager that lives in the player's town is also in the dream town, the villager in question may comment on how "it's nice that at least you're here!".
