Sleeping requires a Bed and can only be done at night, which will progress the Day and Night Cycle to the start of the next day (morning).
Dreams may occur while the player sleeps in a bed or dragon bed. Available dreams include 24 standard dreams and 5 boss dreams (which only occur for the next boss).
The sleeping first selects a random available dream and then checks the random chance of that particular dream; if this random roll passes, the dream is shown, otherwise no dream occurs. With all dreams unlocked and excluding boss dreams, a player will have a 38.33% chance to see a dream on average.
