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]]'', 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 gravitational singularity 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]]'', Pilgrimage: Gardens of Esila, Bridge</ref>. The nature of the singularity is unknown, but [[Arach Jalaal]] speculated that it could be the singularity that leads to the Distributary, the Awoken's original homeland.<ref>https://www.ishtar-collective.net/records/the-hidden-dossier?</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]]'', 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]], [[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]], Pilgrimage: Harbinger's Seclude, Eao's Nest''</ref>. [[Taranis]] would eventually meet Riven once he was able to find a path into the Dreaming City on his own and together, they would create whims.

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, the Taken 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]], [[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]], [[Reverie Dawn Armor#Reverie Dawn Casque / Helm / Hood|Reverie Dawn Helmet]]''</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]], [[Reverie Dawn Armor#Reverie Dawn Cloak / Mark / Bond|Reverie Dawn Class Item]]''</ref> Realizing the danger of their clutch being at risk of being corrupted, Taranis eventually grants his own wish to scatter Riven's eggs into the [[Ley Lines]].

===Taken Infestation===

===Siege of the God of War===

After the [[Expunge: Delphi|destruction]] of [[Quria, Blade Transform]] and the [[Override: Last City|Vex invasion]] of the Last City, the [[Vanguard]] [[Cocoon|tracked]] the lightless [[Warlock]] [[Osiris]] to the Dreaming City, where he was revealed to have been impersonated by [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen]] since he lost his [[Light]]. Encased in a crystal formed by Mara Sov, the Witch Queen had struck a deal with the returned Awoken Queen, who agreed to rid the Hive God of her [[Savathûn's Worm|Worm]] in exchange for getting Osiris back, with the intention of killing her as she came out of the crystal.  

===Finding Riven's Whim===

After the Guardian recovers one of Riven's eggs from the [[The Imbaru Engine|Imbaru Engine]] inside [[Court of Savathûn|Savathûn's Throne World]] and discovers a solution to bypass the portal into the Pale Heart created by [[The Witness|the Witness]], they return to the Keep of Voices. The Witness sends in the [[Sol Divisive]], a [[Vex]] collective loyal to it, to invade the Dreaming City and hamper their attempt to bypass the portal. They visit Riven's corpse and recover a tooth to allow the Techeuns to conjure her spirit along with the heart they extracted after her physical form was destroyed. Riven's spirit rises but refuses grant the 15th wish unless the remaining eggs are recovered from [[Riven's Lair|her lair]]. Despite the threat of having the Ahamkara terrorize the system again, Queen Mara agrees to Riven's bargian.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/11/28)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Wish]] - [[Final Wish (mission)|Final Wish]]''</ref>

 

Once the Guardian finds that the first egg is missing from its physical location, Petra proposes that eggs can be found inside the Ley Lines using the similar method to how they rescued the Techeuns from Xivu Arath's forces. They would recover more eggs as Osiris updates them on how [[The Veil|the Veil]] can be used to replicate the Witness's link to it using their Ghost. They begin to use Mara's [[Harbinger (Reef superweapon)|Harbinger]] to track the remaining eggs more efficiently once they obtain the Starlight Lodestone to guide it. As they recover more eggs, the Sol Divisive responds by deploying [[Oracle]]s throughout the Dreaming City and creating an Axis Mind capable of simulating the Techeuns. As the Guardian arrives too late to recover egg, they learn that egg has been transported into the [[Black Garden]]. They recover the egg from the Black Garden along with a Bow crafted by [[Taranis]], the Ahamkara that produced the clutch with Riven.

 

The Guardians cleanse a corrupted egg, then reactivate the Oracle Engine to recover the final egg. Once all of the eggs are recovered, Crow shares his plans with the Guardian, Mara, and Osiris: he volunteers to be the first Guardian to enter the Pale Heart via the Ley Lines since the 15th wish only allows one individual to enter it. The Guardian returns to the [[Wall of Wishes]] and enters the 15th and final wish. The final wish causes Riven to meet the same fate as Taranis before her, but allows Crow to enter the Ley Lines so Osiris can replicate the link with the Veil and allow [[The Coalition|the Coalition]] to enter the Pale Heart and finally confront the Witness before it can enact the [[Final Shape]].
