Do give it a look: alongside our celebration of some of the very best creations and moments from the past 12 months in Dreams, we had all sorts of special celebrity guests drop by to say hello!

What an incredible year in Dreams it’s been. If you’d like to check out any of these award-winning creations for yourself, you can simply boot up Dreams, and the front page of DreamSurfing will raise you aloft on a wave of curation magic and gently set you down in front of the relevant playlists… (Basically, we’ll show you where to point your imp.)

Oh, and our playable Impys hub is also still available to explore in-game  – it’s a stylish underground gallery space, featuring Mm-made art exhibits inspired by some of our favourite moments of coMmunity-led collaboration and creativity from throughout Dreams’ history. (We can’t believe it’s now been over two years since Dreams launched!) It’s packed with fun interactive doodads, unexpected secrets and cheeky coMmunity Easter eggs for those of you in the know.
