The Animal Crossing: New Horizons community is resourceful, always finding inventive ways to navigate the game’s annoying quirks and limitations. Thanks to fan-made tools, challenges like predicting turnip prices and forecasting island weather have become more manageable.
The ‘Wave 2′ update from Nintendo has added a novel feature — the ability to visit new islands by sleeping in-game and encountering Luna the Tapir. A helpful fan-made tool has emerged to assist players with this adventure.
Typically, visiting other islands that don’t belong to people you already know involves seeking out Dodo Codes or invites from communities online. These can be found in Facebook groups, subreddits, Discord servers, and even on Twitter. Dream codes make traveling to far-away islands and receiving visitors a lot easier. But, many may still wonder where you find them.
YouTuber CrossingChannel has created a dream code randomizer where you can submit your own island’s code and find new islands to visit. It works by getting as many people involved as possible to expand the database of codes.
But don’t worry; your privacy is secure. The codes do not reveal the name of your island, player names, or any other information relating to you.
How to use the dream island feature
For your character to dream, you need to go and lie on any bed in your house or use the special bed that Luna gifted to you when you downloaded the update.
You must have a Nintendo Switch Online membership in order to do this. The bed must be in your house; this cannot be done outside. You can then select “I want to dream from the menu” .
Luna will allow you to upload your own dream island, which is a memory of your island for other people to access, which can be updated once a day. Once you’ve uploaded or updated, Luna will give you a “dream exchange ticket,” which you can sell in Nook’s Cranny for 5,000 bells.
Players can dream by sleeping on any bed in their house
Any player can visit your dream island if you give them the dream address that Luna provides. The address can be accessed in your passport, too, alongside how many people have visited your dream island.
Visitors will not be able to change anything or take or leave any items as the feature is designed for exploring only. Visitors can, however, see your custom designs and copy the codes from those. Luna will also give you the option to visit another dream island by entering its code.
