How do dreams work in Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream?
Tomodachi Life dreams and how to see them
Miis dream at random while they sleep. A purple bubble with Zzz appears above the sleeping Mii. Select it to go into the dream. Some dreams play by themselves, and some need your input. When the Mii wakes up, you get an item that is linked to the dream.
Steps
- Check your island often, at night and during naps. Dreams happen only while a Mii sleeps.
- Look for a purple bubble with Zzz above a Mii. The Mii icon at the bottom right can also show a dream.
- Select the bubble to go into the dream.
- Watch the dream. In some dreams you must act. For example, you push a scared Mii in the bungee jump dream.
- Get the reward when the Mii wakes up. You can give it as a gift or use it as decoration.
