Decoding the Dream: A Comprehensive Guide to Breeding Dream Dragons in DragonVale

So, you’re on the hunt for a Dream Dragon in DragonVale, that elusive master of the ethereal Dimension of Dreams? You’ve come to the right place. Breeding for a Dream Dragon can feel like chasing, well, a dream. But armed with the right knowledge and a little bit of luck, you can add this fantastic creature to your DragonVale park.

The core of the Dream Dragon lies in this: The Dream Dragon can be bred by using any two dragons, in either order, containing the Light, Dark, and any two other elements at any Breeding Cave. Think of it as a puzzle; you need to combine the correct elemental pieces to unlock the possibility.

Understanding the Dream Dragon’s Breeding Requirements

The key phrase here is “any two dragons, in either order“. This gives you incredible flexibility! You don’t need specific named dragons, just dragons that collectively possess the required elements. Here’s the breakdown:

Light Element: You need a dragon that possesses the Light element.
Dark Element: Similarly, you need a dragon that possesses the Dark element.
Two Additional Elements: These can be any two other distinct elements (e.g., Fire, Water, Earth, Air, Plant, Metal, Cold, Lightning). The Light and Dark elements can’t be counted here again.

Choosing Your Breeding Pair

Here are some examples of breeding pairs that would satisfy the requirements:

Light Dragon + Dark Dragon: You would then need to breed these with dragons that cover two other elements that were not light or dark. You would then need to breed these with dragons that cover two other elements that were not light or dark. For example, these dragons would need to have plant and air.
Light Dragon + Dark Dragon: This duo covers the Light and Dark requirements. Now, you need two more distinct elements. You could then pair these with another set of dragons like Fungus + Ember. This pair brings Plant and Fire.
Light Dragon + Plant Dragon: Then this pair would have to be bred with a Dark Dragon + Lightning Dragon. This pair contains the Dark and Lightning elements.

Optimizing Your Breeding Efforts

While technically any combination that fulfills the elemental requirements can work, some are more efficient than others. The “best” combo is subjective, but here’s what to consider:

Shorter Fail Times: Choose dragons that, if they result in a failed breeding attempt, have relatively short incubation times. This maximizes the number of attempts you can make within a given time frame.
Dragons You Already Own: Work with what you have! If you already possess high-level Light and Dark dragons, use them as a starting point.
Breeding Cave or Epic Breeding Island: It doesn’t matter which breeding location you use.

A Word on Patience and Perseverance

Breeding a Dream Dragon is not guaranteed. DragonVale relies on a complex algorithm with percentage chances. You may succeed on your first attempt, or it may take dozens. Don’t get discouraged! Keep experimenting with different combinations and be patient.

Dream Dragon FAQs: Your Burning Questions Answered

Here are some of the most common questions about breeding and acquiring Dream Dragons in DragonVale.

Is the Dream Dragon still available in DragonVale? Yes, the Dream Dragon is still available through breeding, as described above. It might not always be available for direct purchase in the market.
What’s the best combo for the Dream Dragon to ensure shortest breeding times for fails? As mentioned earlier, combinations like Light/Dark + Lightning/Plant tend to have shorter breed times if you don’t get the Dream Dragon. But don’t be afraid to test out variations based on the dragons you already own!
Can I clone a Dream Dragon? The Dream Dragon can only be obtained by breeding two dragons with light, dark, and two other elements.
What if I don’t have a Light or Dark Dragon? Focus on breeding for those first. There are various combinations for Light and Dark dragons available online and within the DragonVale community.
Does the level of my dragons affect my chances of breeding a Dream Dragon? While the exact mechanics are not officially revealed, many players believe that using higher-level dragons can improve your chances. Leveling your dragons up can improve breed times also.
Can I breed a Dream Dragon in the Cooperative Breeding Cave? Yes, the Dream Dragon can be bred in any Breeding Cave.
I keep getting the same fail dragons. What am I doing wrong? Nothing! That’s just how DragonVale works. It’s based on probability. Keep trying different combinations and be persistent.
Are there any special events that increase the chance of breeding a Dream Dragon? Sometimes, DragonVale hosts limited-time events that may offer boosted breeding odds for specific dragons. Keep an eye on in-game announcements.
What are some other dragons that are difficult to breed? Many dragons in DragonVale are considered rare or challenging to breed, often requiring specific elemental combinations or breeding times. Dragons Classified as Rare, Arctic Dragon, Vortex Dragon, Halo Dragon, Trench Dragon, Lapis Dragon, Amber Dragon, Jet Dragon and Jade Dragon are all considered hard to breed.
Is there a list of all possible breeding combinations for the Dream Dragon? Given the “any two dragons” rule, there’s a vast number of potential combinations. Focus on the elemental requirements rather than trying to memorize specific pairings.

What are opposite dragons and why can’t they be bred together? Opposite dragons possess opposing elements (e.g., Light and Dark). They cannot be directly bred with basic dragons of the opposing element. This usually necessitates using hybrid dragons in the breeding process.
How do I find out about DragonVale breeding hints? Pay attention to in-game announcements and DragonVale community forums and websites. Players often share their successful breeding combinations and tips.
What is the Dream Dragon’s habitat? The Dream Dragon requires a Dream Habitat. These habitats are specifically designed for dragons native to the Dimension of Dreams.
