Bunnyland Dreamsim

Out-of-tree Bunnyland plugin that adds an expansion-pack-sized sleep & dreams pack. It builds on top of the core sleeping model (SleepingComponent, the sleep/wake verbs) rather than replacing it: while a character is asleep, this plugin composes a dream and grades their rest.

Everything is assembled deterministically from the sleeper's own state — recent memories, mood (AffectComponent), and the room around the bed — so it runs fully offline with no LLM or network call. Given the same world and epoch you always get the same dream.

The mechanics that ship out of the box:

• Dream on sleep — a per-tick consequence detects sleeping characters and, on a cadence, composes a DreamComponent woven from their recent memories, mood, and room. The dream is also written back into the sleeper's private memory collection when a memory store is available.
• Insight & omen — a safe dream can resurface an older memory (an insight); a dream in a dangerous room (a threat present, darkness, or an unsafe room) surfaces an omen.
• Nightmares — dangerous or unsafe sleep yields a nightmare that lowers rest quality and shifts the sleeper's mood toward fear; safe, comfortable sleep yields a pleasant dream that nudges mood the other way.
• Sleep quality — a RestQualityComponent derived from the BedComponent in the room plus room safety. Better rest means better recovery, and on waking a prompt fragment surfaces the remembered dream ("You wake from a dream of ...").
• Recurring dreams & motifs — every dream reinforces a motif: a subject the sleeper's dreams keep returning to, tracked as its own entity linked by a DreamsOf typed edge. A subject that surfaces on enough nights becomes a recurring dream (RecurringDreamEvent), and surfaces in the sleeper's own prompt.
• Foreshadowing — a recurring nightmare is an omen: when the core storyteller is running, the sleeper's dread folds a little extra threat into its incident budget (DreamOmenEvent), so a coming incident is quietly pulled nearer. Standalone, the omen stays purely narrative.

Cross-pack tone (optional, no hard dependency)

Dreams read the sleeper's own recent memories — where other packs already record the day's events — and let them tilt the night: a remembered fright (a cryptid sighting, a haunting) drags an otherwise-safe night into a themed nightmare, while a remembered celebration (a festival, a feast) sweetens it. This works through the shared memory store, so no partner pack is required. When the specter pack is installed, a sleeper whose sanity has frayed additionally carries that dread into the night. All of this is soft: the pack is complete and delightful on its own.

This repo intentionally keeps all dream work outside the main bunnyland-server repo.

Verbs

• recall-dreams — reflect on the dreams that keep returning to you. A private, free reflection that surfaces your recurring dream motifs (and flags whether any is a nightmare). Rejects with "you have no recurring dreams to recall" when nothing recurs yet.

Layout

• server/ - Python Bunnyland plugin package with the dream/rest/bed components, the dream and rest-quality consequences, the deterministic dream composer, prompt fragments, a bed spawn factory, and tests.

Server Plugin

The plugin exposes bunnyland_dreamsim.bunnyland_plugins() and contributes:

• DreamComponent, RestQualityComponent, BedComponent, MotifComponent - dream, rest, furniture, and a recurring-dream motif.
• DreamsOf - a typed edge linking a dreamer to each motif their dreams return to.
• DreamConsequence - composes a deterministic dream for each sleeping character on a cadence, records it as a memory, reinforces its motif, shifts mood, and foreshadows the storyteller on a recurring nightmare.
• RestQualityConsequence - grades each sleeper's rest from their bed and room safety.
• RecallDreamsHandler - the recall-dreams verb (private reflection on recurring dreams).
• dreamsim_fragments - renders the dreaming/remembered-dream, rest, and recurring-dream state into prompts.
• DreamComposedEvent, NightmareEvent, RecurringDreamEvent, DreamOmenEvent, DreamsRecalledEvent - domain events for other systems to react to.
• spawn_bed - spawn factory for a comfortable bed.

Optional synergy is declared in DependencyContribution.recommends (bunnyland.spectersim) and consumed only through a guarded import, so the pack still runs standalone.

Running

This package builds no containers. It is loaded into the stock server via --module:

bunnyland serve --module bunnyland_dreamsim

default_enabled=True, so no --plugin flag is required once the module is imported. The bunnyland_dreamsim package must be importable by the server (installed into the server's environment, or on PYTHONPATH).

Development

Run server tests against a sibling bunnyland-server checkout (no install required — server/tests/conftest.py puts both packages on sys.path). From server/:

uv run --project ../../bunnyland-server -m pytest
uv run --project ../../bunnyland-server ruff check src tests

See server/README.md for more detail.
