Hello All,
Dream Word is a very nice extension to Pokemon Black and White, allowing various activities every day for 1 consecutive hour every 24 hours as of now (They have stated they might change this limit in the future)
To access the dream world, go to http://www.pokemon-gl.com and register an account. Remember to use the code that your cartridge tells you so your account syncs with your cartridge.
Why Friends are a Good Idea
However, to use Dream World effectively, a person should have several friends to gain points.
Heres a very nice link describing the process of gaining points (toward the bottom of the page)
http://www.serebii.net/blackwhite/dreamworld.shtml
As a person can see, by doing several tasks such as watering your friend's berries and trading items, you gain extra points. Thus, the more friends you have, the more points you can accumulate per day.
Why Points Matter
Quite simply, more points allows you to do more things.Here are the reasons to gain as much points as possible:
1) The more points you have, the more rows you get for your berry garden. Berries are very important. Without berries, you can't play some minigames, you can't make furniture for your dream house, and most importantly, you can't take a pokemon from dream world to your game cartridge.
2) By "gaining 500 points in one dream state, the pokemon will level upon next game sync" (taken from serebii, link in above)
3) Last, and most notably, if you have enough points you gain access to more dream isle areas and different items. These new dream isles contain different pokemon. Here is the list of the pokemon avaible and the points needed to access certain areas:

[SIZE="5"]Privacy Settings: VERY IMPORTANT[/SIZE]
When you first make your account for the dream world site, it will autimatically set your settings to PRIVATE. This will prevent your friends from your pal pad and other people online from being able to get on your island or even friend request you. It is very important to change this setting. Both friends must change this setting in order to see each other.
To change your privacy settings, follow these instructions:
1) Log into the pokemon global link site.
2)Click on Profile button under Pokemon DW (the Profile button has a symbol of the trainer card next to it)
3) Under Location (left side), click on the Privacy Settings.
4) From here a window should pop up, stating Profile and Privacy Settings for Dream World. You will see default is nobody for both options. Now, you must change both settings to the one you want.
So if you only want the friends from your in game pal pad to only access your island, change both options to Just Friends If you want everyone (including random people) to be able to access your island, set it to Everyone for both options. If you want nobody to access your island, then you are in the wrong thread and get out
Important Note
In order for your friends to appear in your dream world, you must have had at least one contact in the wifi room (center room) That means you can't just add their code in your pal pad and expect to see them. You must either trade or battle them once in order to appear. Also it takes a bit of time for them to show up. Around 24-72 hours. If they don't appear by then, you should both check your account settings and readd each other.
Also, if you made an account on http://www.pokemon.com for the eevee evolution promotion game, you must change those settings as well!. (For some reason the privacy settings are not synched up when both accounts become linked) (thanks for the confirmation ComanderJinn!)
[SIZE="3"]The Dream World Itself[/SIZE]
When you first log in, you'll be outside your house. At this screen, you can move either to your right, your left, or into your house. If you click on your house mat, you can see who visited you while you were not on! (You can also go to their dream island and send a dream pal request!) Lets go into the house for now.
Your House
This area helps keeps things in check. First thing to keep note is the little red book on the stand near the doorway. If you click on it, it will show recipes on the furniture you can make. These pieces of furniture require a lot of berries, so be sure to abuse the berry garden!
Also, you will see a trunk near the door. This trunk is where items are placed when found during the dream world. You send the items from dream world to your game via the trunk
Lastly there is the pokemon friend board. Here you can see the pokemon you befriended and what pokemon you sent to your game cartridge.
Important Note It has come to my attention by both ComanderJinn and Serebii forums that there is a limit on how many pokemon you can transfer to game cartridge. The limit is 50 and this is due to the friend board only have 5 pages (each page holds 10 "photos" of the pokemon you sent) The limit was removed on the japanese dream world, but it is currently unknown if and when the international dream world will remove the cap. (taken from serebii) In other words, be careful of what you take till you hear further news!
The Berry Garden
This is very important function of dream world. As mentioned above, berries do many things in the dream world. Also, since unova can't grow berries (they never gave a reason did they?), this is the only way to grow berries in 5th gen games.
Now, you start off with 2 rows, but with more points you gain more rows. I forgot the exact number to get more rows, but I know the max rows you get are 4. (will update once I find the information)
Some berries take longer to grow than others. For example, oran berries grow within 24 hours, so you'll be able to harvest a stack the next day. However, those berries found in the trunk when you first log in the dream world, will take at least 3-4 days. It is important to make friends because they will need to water your berries while you are gone since the soil will become dry (thus slowing the growing process!)
The Trading Post
This is relatively simple. This rack here lets you put one of your items up for trade, and if another person comes in, that person can swap one of their items for the item on the rack. It is a great way to spread the berry love
Dream World: The Isles
This is where you go for the meat of your action!. Now, you must keep in mind that after 10 steps, you will be at the dream tree (the place where you offer your berry to take one pokemon with you to your game cartridge. No matter what way you go, after 10 steps, you will arrive at the tree. When you start out, you will only be able to access one area that will always have the same pokemon and items, but as you accumlate more dream points, more areas (with different pokemon) and different items will show up!
Again this link is very usefulhttp://www.serebii.net/blackwhite/dreamworldareas.shtml
As of now, the minigames you can play on the first dream isle include ice cream scoop, pellipers flight, and hide n seek ( sky or undersea version). Keep in mind that in order to play ice cream scoop minigame, you will need to offer a berry first. The other two games do not require a berry.
After 10 steps, you will be at the dream tree, where you have two options. You can offer a berry to take one pokemon with you to your game cartridge, or you can return home without taking any pokemon. If you choose the first option, you will not be able to enter the dream isle again till the next day (and until you take the pokemon with you by waking up your pokemon!) If you choose to return home, you can re enter dream isle. You can keep re entering it until either you take a pokemon or until the 1 hour limit is up.
