WHAT YOU DO • Dream Desk — Patch, thread, mist, ring, and rhythm repairs on hand-crafted dream cards. • Sleeping Isles — Graft each bud where a name belongs. Tap a spirit for a Little Wave hello, or Watch Dream to see a companion fully awaken. • Bloom Atlas — Unlock story cards for the dreams you mended.
