The Dreams and Dark Design quest is quite lengthy, as players need to collect many items in Disney Dreamlight Valley. Make sure to complete the prerequisites; otherwise, Aurora's quest won't trigger, and you will not get the Once Upon a Dream outfit at the end.

How To Unlock Princess Aurora In Disney Dreamlight Valley (The Tales That Bind Quest)

Unlocking Princess Aurora is a lengthy process that requires completing a lot of quests in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

Dreams And Dark Designs Quest In DDV - Disney Dreamlight Valley

The Dreams and Dark Designs is the final friendship quest for Princess Aurora in DDV, which means she must be friendship level 10. Players also need to have Maleficent and Hades level 10 and complete all Hades' quests. The quest starts with a frantic Aurora asking players to check on Flynn and Merida, as they have been having awful nightmares.

Speak with the two characters who admit to seeing blue and green flames and then waking up tired. Inform the princess about the situation and then head to Hades' house to find out more.

There, you will not only find the god of the underworld, but Maleficent as well. Talking with them only confirms that they're the culprits, but they keep trying to act innocent. After taking Aurora's advice, collect some materials in Disney Dreamlight Valley to craft a Dream Spinner:

Materials

Location

Star Sapphire x4

  • Mine any node in Everafter.

Volcanic Rock x10

  • Dig the ground in Everafter and Mythopia
  • Remove the green flame obstacles

Petrified Wood x20

  • Mine any node in The Bind and Everafter
  • Remove the petrified wood rock obstacles

After gathering the required materials, you still need to find a Sacred Spring to get the most important material of them all, Dream Threads.

How To Get Dream Threads In DDV - Disney Dreamlight Valley

To get Dream Threads in Disney Dreamlight Valley, dreamers must go to the Sacred Spring. You can find it tucked in a corner located northwest of the Elysian Fields. Head to the glowing Sacred Spring and get the Dream Thread, then use a crafting table to make the Dream Spinner. Give it to Aurora, only to find out Merida and Flynn are refusing to sleep because of the nightmares.

Seek out Remy and take some spices from him, and gather some ingredients to make Warm Spiced Milk. The ingredients are:

Ingredients

Location

Milk x2

Buy it from Chez Remy.

Ambrosia x2

Buy from Goofy's Stall in Mythopia.

Nutmeg x2

Harvest Nutmeg trees in Mythopia.

Remy's Spice Blend x2

From Remy.

Give them the milk and then wait for the Dream Spinner to drop a Memory Orb. Interact with it to see the first half of the memory, showing a location on Mount Olympus.

How To Look For The Area In The Dream Image In DDV - Disney Dreamlight Valley

To look for the area in the dream image, travel to Mount Olympus and head north towards the gates, where players have completed a trial previously in DDV. Once inside, you need to reach the end to complete the current task.

Proceed forward and use the Royal Net to turn the wheel twice and summon a bridge. Next, use the net again on a wheel to open two gates; push the cube from one gate and then move forward through the other. Once you reach a switch, continue to the stairs leading down and push another cube. Now, players can use the switch to lower the bridge. Cross to the other side and turn the final wheel to reach the end of the realm.

Interact with the rift to spawn another Memory Orb, which reveals the second half of the memory. Head to the Lorekeeper and Aurora and speak with them about what you discovered. Finally, head to Maleficent's castle to confront her and Hades, which ends the Dreams and Dark Design quest in DDV.

Once Upon A Dream Outfit In DDV - Disney Dreamlight Valley

As the quest ends so abruptly, and dreamers are supposed to receive an outfit from Aurora, it could confuse some players. To get the Once Upon a Dream dress, go to your mail and open Aurora's message to claim the outfit.
