You target a creature you know on the same plane of existence. You or a willing creature you touch enters a trance state to act as a dream messenger. While in the trance, the messenger is Incapacitated and has a Speed of 0.
If the target is asleep, the messenger appears in the target’s dreams and can converse with the target as long as it remains asleep, through the spell’s duration. The messenger can also shape the dream’s environment, creating landscapes, objects, and other images. The messenger can emerge from the trance at any time, ending the spell. The target recalls the dream perfectly upon waking.
If the target is awake when you cast the spell, the messenger knows it and can either end the trance (and the spell) or wait for the target to sleep, at which point the messenger enters its dreams.
You can make the messenger terrifying to the target. If you do so, the messenger can deliver a message of no more than ten words, and then the target makes a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the target gains no benefit from its rest, and it takes 3d6 Psychic damage when it wakes up.

Posted Sep 11, 2024This version of the spell took about the part about races that don't sleep being untouchable by the spell. Does that mean elves can now be affected by Dream, or are we supposed to infer that they can't be?

Since races that don't sleep never go to sleep, the messenger never gets the chance to enter their dreams, presumably.

Posted Oct 23, 2024Range should be "Special" not "Self" according to the PHB.

Posted Oct 30, 2024This spell has no duration, despite the spell mentioning one. Presumably it's 8 hrs like the "legacy" version, or the duration could be however long the target is asleep.

Posted Feb 16, 2025I'd say that elves don't need to sleep, but they can choose to. If they do, they could be targeted by this, but if they merely take their typical 4 hour meditation to rest instead, then the spell has no effect on them.
I think removing such wording just allows for the edge case where an elf does choose to sleep, but in most cases doesn't change any (and is quite redundant if the elf doesn't sleep, as sleep is a requirement for the spell to work)
