OpenClaw Dream

Automatic memory consolidation — turn scattered daily notes into clean, organized long-term memory.

Overview

Memory files accumulate noise over time: relative dates lose meaning, contradictory entries confuse the agent, duplicates waste context, and stale information causes hallucinations. Dream fixes this by running a structured consolidation pass.

When to Run

• Manual: User says "dream", "整理记忆", "consolidate memory"
• Cron: Schedule via openclaw cron add for daily execution (recommended: 3-4 AM)
• Heartbeat: Add to HEARTBEAT.md as a periodic task (every 3-5 days)
• Condition check: Only run if memory/.last_dream is older than 24h AND new daily notes exist since last dream

Execution

Always run as a sub-agent to avoid blocking the main session:
