Dream spheres are always dropped by bosses and on occasion dropped by normal enemies. They are used as currency for upgrades in the mind prison. These upgrades include heightened max health, damage, and follower cap, decreased spell cost, and the reforging of your starter sword.
Also known as
Players sometimes say dream orbs. The game and the community guides use the name Dream Sphere.
Where they come from
Bosses are the main source. The Wizard Lord, Slime King, The Necromancer, The Hunter, Meat Wizard, Knight of the Crystal and Limbok always drop one, while the Blood Golem and Worm Lord drop one half the time. A player reports getting money, health and a Dream Sphere from the Necromancer. Ordinary enemies drop them only occasionally.
What they buy
Spend them at the statues in The Hub (see Idols):
- Wiseman Idol: more maximum health (+10 per upgrade).
- Warrior Idol: more base damage.
- Wizard Idol: cheaper spell sigils.
- Golem Idol: a higher summon limit (starts at 2).
- Blacksmith Idol: reforging your starter sword, which costs 5 Dream Spheres.
Known problem
Spheres have been seen spawning half-submerged, notably in the Frog World boss area. The developer has acknowledged this loot bug. See Collectibles.

From the official manual
- The manual describes them as ethereal spheres that only great wizards can extract from Dream, often used as offerings to the gods of Blood Magic.
