Lunar Dreams is a mini event that starts on the third Friday of every month at 12am WDT and lasts until 11:59pm WDT the following Thursday, unless explicitly stated otherwise (e.g. February 2021, as this is when the event was first introduced).

Below, we have provided a helpful timetable of when the Lunar Dreams event will start and end for the remaining year of 2021.

Duration (12am WDT to 11:59pm WDT)
January	N/A
February	27th through 4th
March	19th through 25th
April	16th through 22nd
May	21st through 27th
June	18th through 24th
July	16th through 22nd
August	20th through 26th
September	17th through 23rd
October	15th through 21st
November	19th through 25th
December	17th through 23rd

The currency for this event is Lunar Tears (LT), which are gained by exploring the Dreamlands. They can be used to purchase items from the Lunar Shoppe. Any LT you do not spend during a Lunar Dreams event cycle will remain on your account for future event cycles.

In order to access the Dreamlands, you must first gain Lunar Essence (LE), which is a secondary resource you will spend in place of Energy on explore steps. While exploring regularly will drain your Energy, exploring in the Dreamlands will drain your Lunar Essence. You cannot explore without Lunar Essence, so be sure to gather as much as you can!

When you visit the Wolvden Events page, you will be able to view how much Lunar Essence you have in total and how much you have collected for the day, as well as two separate buttons: one that takes you to the Dreamlands (if it is night time only) and one that takes you to the Lunar Shoppe (which can be accessed at any time of day, so long as the Lunar Dreams event is ongoing).

The button to visit the Dreamlands is greyed out if it is not night time, and a hover message stating "Dreamlands isn't available until night time!" will display. You cannot get around the night time requirement—the Dreamlands creatures don't want to come out until it's dim and dark!

Earning Lunar Essence  

So, we have learned that Lunar Essence is required to explore the Dreamlands. How do you earn Lunar Essence, anyways?

Upon each rollover, you will generate 25 Lunar Essence automatically. This generated Lunar Essence does not count towards the 100 Lunar Essence you can earn from Explore.

When exploring the regular map during Dawn, Day, and Dusk, each time you click on the paw to take a step, you have a chance of generating either 2 or 3 Lunar Essence. This Lunar Essence is automatically applied to your account and does not require you to confirm that you would like to collect it. If you come across Lunar Essence, you will receive the following Explore text:

"Some strange sparkling dust..
+(2 or 3) Lunar Essence"

You can only gain 100 Lunar Essence through exploring each rollover, even if you expend your Lunar Essence all the way down to 0. Any Lunar Essence you have left over before rollover will carry over through rollover and will not count towards your 100 Lunar Essence daily cap. This means that if you have 50 Lunar Essence on your account before rollover, you will then have a total of 75 Lunar Essence upon rolling over, and you will still be able to gain an additional 100 Lunar Essence from exploring.

Exploring the Dreamlands  

Work-in-progress.

You can explore the Dreamlands during Night time on Wolvden, provided you have the Lunar Essence to do so. Lunar Essence can only be earned during Dawn, Day, and Dusk, not at Night, so be sure to save your regular Energy until then!

If your scout is currently rescouting a biome, you will not be able to traverse that biome within the Dreamlands unless you recall your scout early.

Battling  

Not everything within the Dreamlands is peaceful and serene. While exploring the Dreamlands, you can come across other creatures that will want to battle you! All Dreamlands battles will drop at least 1 Lunar Tear, regardless of your lead wolf's level. Unlike standard battle trophy drops, your lead wolf does not have to be within a set level range of a Dreamlands NPC in order to gain LT.

You'll want to battle as much as possible! Battling in the Dreamlands uses up your standard Energy, not your Lunar Essence. That being said, you can also successfully battle against lunar NPCs even if your standard Energy bar is depleted!

Other than being able to battle without Energy, Dreamlands battles work similarly to regular battles. In addition to LT, you will gain Experience and can gain Silver Cones, Medicine: Healing Salves, Meat Chunks, and stats.

Just like the Explore UI, the Battle UI also has a dream-like blue tint to indicate you are within the Dreamlands.

A Cnitharian Fox is preparing the area and setting up a trading post to exchange goods with wolves.
Action	Result	Reward
Offer 5 SC *	The fox looks surprised. It's probably the first time someone has offered to pay him without buying anything. You humbly explain that you're just wishing him a good start. The fox seems touched and asks you to wait for a moment. He comes back with a pile of gifts and promises to remember you when the trading post is ready.	+1 Lunar Tear +1 Rabbit Carcass -5 Silver Cones
Offer Acorn *	The fox looks pleased and takes the acorn with a smile. He explains there is always a high demand for them when he's trading with other creatures. He offers you something in return. You have a feeling it's worth much more than an acorn.	+1 Lunar Tear +1 Glowing Spores +1 Stoat Carcass -1 Acorn
Offer Help	The fox accepts your help with visible relief. It's an exhausting job, but the time flies fast when you work and chat together. When the trading post is ready, the fox thanks you for your effort and promises you a discount when you visit him next time!	+1 Lunar Tear
Biome Tags: Found in all biomes. * The options to "Offer 5 SC" and "Offer Acorn" only appear if you have the required assets on-hand when coming across this encounter.

Jellyfish-like Cnitharian Mice are gathering supplies for the time when lunar essence is more scarce.
Action	Result	Reward
Steal	You observe the mice for a moment. They're very busy and organised, but you notice there are times when no one is guarding the supplies. Who wouldn't take such an opportunity?	+1 Lunar Tear +1 Acorn
	You observe the mice for a moment. They're very busy and organised, but you notice there are times when no one is guarding the supplies. You managed to get close, but it took you too long, and you were noticed. You're surprised at how furiously these little critters will fight for their goods! You were bitten once or twice, but you escaped with a trophy!	+1 Lunar Tear -1 HP
Help	You feel a sudden hint of sympathy. Everyone is just trying to survive, no matter the place nor dimension. The mice don't trust you at first, but they are moved by your honest intentions and slowly get used to your presence. You don't want anything in return for helping them, but they insist!	+1 Lunar Tear +1 Acorn
	You feel a sudden hint of sympathy. Everyone is just trying to survive, no matter the place nor dimension. You do your best to help, but you're too big for their tiny piles of supplies. You've made a mess with your clumsy paws, and it took some time to gather everything back in place again. At the end, you're exhausted, but the mice appreciate your effort.	+1 Lunar Tear -1 HP

You encounter two wolves traversing this world, much like you are. They seem to have gotten into a quarrel. Lunar essence is charging between them!
Action	Result	Reward
Rush In Barking	You rush between the wolves, barking angrily! This is no place for negative energy, it's so beautiful and special! There's enough food and shiny things for everyone! The wolves snap at you, it's none of your business what happened between them! All three of you bark at each other until the other guys roll off into the bushes, fighting. Whatever they left, is yours.	+1 Lunar Tear +2 Silver Cones
	You puff up and trot between the wolves, barking at them! Time to snap out of it, this negative energy might turn into a real nightmare! The wolves huff and groan, but they do part ways, leaving some charged sparks behind.	+1 Lunar Tear
Calm Them Down	You shake your head and walk between them, calmly explaining there is no time to waste. This place is special and offers so much, there's no territory to claim, no den to protect - such a great oppoturnity to explore and learn about this world. The wolves whine a bit, but eventually, they agree and decide whatever they were fighting over should be yours.	+1 Lunar Tear +2 Silver Cones
	You approach the wolves and ask what is the matter. At first they seem snappy, but eventually they explain the situation. You offer a solution that maybe would not benefit them both, but a solution that makes everyone content. They seem pleased to the point you're given a thank you gift.	+1 Lunar Tear

Unidentified glowing orbs are circling around you. You feel uneasy.
Action	Result	Reward
Run Away!	These glowing orbs are making you seriously uneasy. Your instinct is sending all kinds of alarms through your body, which cause you to turn around and run! On your rather accidental path, you trip over something and chip a bit of it off. Thankfully, it wasn't your tooth!	+1 Lunar Tear -1 HP
	You freeze in fear. These orbs are seriously eerie, and you cannot make out what they are. They seem to be the most lunar thing you've witnessed here so far, to the point that you suspect they may have come from the moon itself! They suddenly stop, and you twitch, worried that they may be planning something. Nope. You curl your tail between your legs and run like hell, until you drop among some glowing flowers, mushrooms, cones, and rocks.	+1 Lunar Tear +2 Silver Cones
Dance In Circles	You perk your ears. These orbs seem to be friendly, otherwise they would have already made a move... right? They seem so in-tune with this world, and you wonder if they may even be influencing it. You bark and bow playfully. They continue to follow you, so you begin to dance, twirl, and hop on your hind legs! You give them the performance of the week, and the orbs dance with you, pulsating in a rhythm and doing their own synchronised moves. This is amazing! One of them begins to spark and falls suddenly to the ground. The rest of the orbs immediately fly away to the night sky. You curiously lower your head to check out the fallen orb. Oh... Was it a gift?	+1 Lunar Tear
Pounce	They're probably just some insects or local critters. Nothing unusual. You hope. You jump around and try to grab one with your teeth... Oh! You did it! It burns your tongue a bit, so you spit it out. It rolls onto the ground, then stops moving completely. So, this is what the orbs turn into? What's that next to it?	+1 Lunar Tear -2 HP +1 Lucky Foot
	You make calculated jumps, considering the orbs to be your prey. These local critters take many creative shapes and forms, so this one shouldn't be any different... You manage to strike one down! You cock your head to the side in confusion. How do seemingly-alive orbs turn into these?	+1 Lunar Tear

You walk into a large cave converted by crafty and skilled paws into an impressive marketplace adorned with many crystals and trinkets. There are quite a few wolves just like yourself wandering around, browsing the wares displayed on rocky shelves, hanging strings, and curled tree roots. In the darkness, everything is illuminated by the lunar essence. Its blue light creates a water-like ripple effect on the cave's stone walls.

In the most visible area, you find two Cnitharian wolves who are busy organising and trading. It's safe to assume these ladies are in charge of this place.

"Hello! Let us know if you're interested in purchasing anything. We accept all Lunar Tears, as long as they aren't cracked!" The wolf's excited voice makes you feel very welcomed.

"We just might accept coyote tears, too," adds the other wolf, chuckling gently as she combs her jellyfish-like veils.

Work-in-progress.

The Lunar Dreams event lore is scarce, though there are plans to build it up as time goes on. The current lore for the event is in regard to the creatures found within the Dreamlands, which was brought up in the first Lunar Event News post.

"Aggressive Pherris creatures come from the northern areas of the world. Their fur is long, and their reddish colour is based on iron, which they specialise in smithing by using lunar essence. Whenever the Dreamworld lights up, they venture out to claim more land. You may notice their battle paints and creations. The name comes from an English word for "iron" or "ruddy".

Volukros creatures specialise in stealth. They have feathered growths and darker tones, and they inhabit the warm tropical forests of the south. As the world gets warmer, they are able to wander further north to pillage new lands for lunar essence, thus clashing with the Pherris warriors. The name was inspired by French words for "flying" and "plunder".

Cnitharian creatures have jellyfish-like tendrils, pulsating patterns of light, veils, and other various mutations. These beings are peaceful and inhabit the entirety of the Dreamworld. They specialise in trade and enjoy dancing and music. The name was inspired by the Latin name for the phylum of these strange aquatic creatures that inspired the designs."

While this is not integral to the Dreamlands, the Cnitharian wolves that run the Lunar Shoppe are canonically female and are in a relationship with each other, as confirmed by a site developer within a player-made theory topic. These two ladies are unofficially referred to as Curiosity (left) and Cassiopeia (right) by the playerbase.
