Command syntax

/dream :<message>

e.g.

/dream :of a white christmas

The server then replies:

You are now a dreamer

A /whois now shows your dreams:

/whois Capt

Capt is Capt@dyn229-ras4.screaming.net * Capt
Capt using london.uk.eu.dreamwave.org UK's Dreamwave server
Capt is dreaming of a white christmas
Capt has been idle 48 secs, signed on Sat Aug 21 18:06:16
Capt dwave-16452.screaming.net
Capt End of /WHOIS list.

To clear your dream:

/dream

simple :)

Possible Problems

Problem Solution
The /dream doesn't seem to work.  Not all IRC clients will accept the /dream command without it being set up inside the client.   To work round this, most IRC clients will allow raw IRC commands.  The two usual ways to do a raw command are given below:

/raw dream :<message>

/quote dream :<message>

My dream isn't shown as part of the /whois output.  If your server has been upgraded, this is probably as you are using some script to perform the /whois that ignores or handles differently the servers response.

Try a /raw whois or /quote whois to test.
