Graveyard Keeper 2 dream dust

Dream Dust is mixed, not crafted. No recipe in the game makes it, but the Laboratory resolves it from 23 reagent combinations in this build — and one of them is a single Ash.

How to make Dream Dust

Common questions

How do you get dream dust?
Mix reagents at the Laboratory (Laboratory I or II): 23 combinations resolve to Dream Dust in this build. Ash on its own works, and so do Stick + Seed oil, Water + Blood and Alchemic Powder + Alchemic Powder. No crafting recipe produces it.
What is dream dust used for?
Two Formulation Bench recipes: Crop Boosting Fertilizer II (2 Peat + 1 Dream Dust) and Fancy Incense (1 Melted Fat + 1 Fragrance + 1 Dream Dust). Neither is required by the main path.
What rune cost does dream dust have?
1 green and 1 blue rune, which is the figure the game's own formula table carries.
Is dream dust a quest item?
Yes — the Plague Doctor in the Abandoned Tower asks for it. The step that teaches the recipe pays the Alchemy start research, and handing over 1 Dream Dust pays a Story and the Alchemist's Clothes.
