The '''Dreaming City''' is a [[Destination]] in ''[[Forsaken]]'', featuring many endgame activities, such as the [[Last Wish]] raid and the [[Blind Well]] horde activity.<ref name = "NewExpansion">[https://www.kotaku.com.au/2018/06/destiny-2s-next-expansion-is-changing-a-lot/ '''Kotaku''' - ''Destiny 2's Next Expansion Is Changing A Lot'']</ref> It is the most sacred location of the Reefborn [[Awoken]], and is where they study and meditate on greater paracausal powers through dreaming.<ref name = "ReallyDead">[https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2018-06-15-destiny-2-why-bungie-killed-cayde '''Eurogamer''' - ''Bungie says Destiny 2 expansion Forsaken really does kill Cayde for good'']</ref> It served as the prison of the last known Ahamkara, [[Riven]], before becoming cursed upon her death. It now serves as the backdrop for an endless battle between the [[Awoken]] with their [[Guardian]] allies and the [[Taken]], [[Hive]], and [[Scorn]]. [[Petra Venj]] is the world vendor for the city. To access the city, Guardians must complete the campaign of ''[[Forsaken]]'' and embark on a long and difficult questline.

The Dreaming City is the Reefborn [[Awoken]]'s most significant stronghold. It was created by [[Mara Sov]] after her departure from the [[Distributary]] as her personal realm. At one point, Prince [[Uldren Sov]] brought Mara a baby [[Ahamkara]] named [[Riven]]; whose assistance was proven essential in the City's construction with its wish-magic. The Dreaming City was built by Mara Sov and Techneun [[Illyn]], the Coven Mother; this artifical world was nothing but bare rocks when they started.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard'', Pilgrimage: Garden of Esila, View</ref>

The Dreaming City is built upon a flat disk, constructed from the remains of at least one unknown rocky celestial body. Its upper surface contains a "silver sea", water from which continually spills off the edge of the disk and is reclaimed by a stabilization ring that also holds the City in place. The entire city is a closed ecosystem, with water being recycled by hydrocapture systems within the bedrock<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard'', Pilgrimage: Harbinger’s Seclude, Cliffs</ref>.  

A massive ring-shaped structure can be seen in the sky of the Dreaming City, along with what appears to be a black hole directly overhead. The ring is a portal that controls access to the Dreaming City from the [[Tangled Shore]], and utilizes some form of cloaking technology to seal the Dreaming City off from the outside world<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard'', Pilgrimage: Gardens of Esila, Bridge</ref>.

The City is named after a group of unknown entities known as the [[Dreaming]], who are connected in some way with the will of the Awoken people as a whole<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard'', Pilgrimage: Spine of Keres, Cave</ref>.  

While Riven was instrumental in the creation of the Dreaming City, she was not the only Ahamkara who visited the Dreaming City. Another wish-dragon, [[Azirim]], was barred from entering the City but still visited the second solstice festival, massacred many Awoken by beguiling them into leaping from the cliffs<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:The_Dreaming_City#Azirim|Azirim]]''</ref>. [[Eao]], another male Ahamkara, resided in a chamber known as Eao’s Nest before he learned the secrets of the Awoken and escaped the City, threatening to reveal them to the Warlocks of [[the Last City]]. The Awoken, specififcally [[Sjur Eido]], hunted and killed him for this betrayal, with his bones becoming various [[Bones of Eao|powerful]] [[Knuckles of Eao|items]] for the Guardians of [[Earth]]<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, Pilgrimage: Harbinger’s Seclude, Eao’s Nest''</ref>.

During the onset of the Taken War, Mara Sov ordered the Dreaming City to be evacuated and locked down on the advent of the God-King [[Oryx]] and his [[Hive]] armadas, leaving Riven behind as its only prisoner. She and the Techeuns sealed off the Watchtower, barring the only known point of entry into the city, and charged [[The Spider]] with protecting the tower while turning a blind eye on his illicit dealings.

During the [[Battle of Saturn]] however, the Techeuns attempted to escape the death impulse of the [[Oversoul|superweapon]] from Oryx's [[Dreadnaught]] via emergency selfgates to the Dreaming City as the Awoken fleet was annihilated, but Mara remained behind as part of her gamble with [[Eris Morn]].<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:The_Awoken_of_the_Reef#Tyrannocide_V|Tyrannocide V]]''</ref> Unfortunately, Shuro Chi's efforts to save Mara left her selfgate open long enough for the Taken essence of Oryx's death impulse to seep into the Dreaming City,<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Reverie_Dawn_Armor#Reverie_Dawn_Casque_/_Helm_/_Hood|Reverie Dawn Casque / Helm / Hood]]''</ref> which resulted in the Techeuns becoming [[Taken]] by Oryx and causing the Dreaming City to be overwhelmed with Taken forces, which eventually made its way to Riven joining the Taken King.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Reverie_Dawn_Armor#Reverie_Dawn_Cloak_/_Mark_/_Bond|Reverie Dawn Cloak / Mark / Bond]]''</ref>

===Forsaken===

However, upon the death of Dûl Incaru, the Dreaming City reverted back to the state it was in when the curse was first unleashed. The curse then spread in the same manner it had previously, with it being revealed that the curse trapped the Dreaming City within a time loop that resets the events of Riven's death and Dûl Incaru's defeat. Through messages left by an unknown sender, it is revealed that the loop was made possible through the wish Riven granted upon her "death", and modeled upon Vex simulations overseen by the Taken Vex Mind [[Quria, Blade Transform|Quria]]. While the curse looping every three weeks, there is currently no way to permanently rid the city of the curse despite the efforts of both [[Rasputin]] and [[Osiris]]. Following every reset, the Guardian made reports to Mara Sov using the Oracle Engine, occasionally visiting her personally within her new throne world.

===Season of the Hunt===

Two years after the Taken Curse first settled on the Dreaming City, Xivu Arath turned her attention back on the city, following the Witch Queen's disappearance. Unburdened by the bond of siblinghood, the Hive God of War had her [[High Celebrant of Xivu Arath|High Celebrant]] establish at least three [[Cryptolith]]s in the Awoken city, creating powerful [[Wrathborn]] from the local Hive including [[Dul Arath, Retainer of Xivu Arath]] and [[Xillox, Oppression of Xivu Arath]].
