Dream Sower is a simple game. You’re in control of a Dream Sower - a small robot that is inside a dreamscape. Your goal is to fight off Nightmares and to keep the dream interesting by planting dream seeds. These seeds will alter the landscape, grow trees and refresh the land, all to keep it interesting for the dreamer (who will become bored if you don’t constantly entertain him).
