How to open DREAM file?

An often recurring problem with Dream Animated Wallpaper Format is that DREAM is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file DREAM to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DREAM file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install DreamMaker

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that DreamMaker is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing DreamMaker into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open DREAM files.

Programs to open DREAM file

Remember to download programs supporting DREAM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of DreamMaker with DREAM files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the DREAM file to open in the DreamMaker application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the DREAM file with the DreamMaker application.

Step 3. Update DreamMaker to the latest version

If, however, after binding DreamMaker with Dream Animated Wallpaper Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Stardock Corporation website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DREAM file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The DREAM file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the DREAM file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our DREAM file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover DREAM files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the DREAM files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair DREAM file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Stardock, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file DREAM except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the DREAM file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file DREAM to close. However, some background programs may block the DREAM file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
