Hi! We got a few reports about the Dreams of Flying not loading properly when entering the Special from the Elevator: the clouds would not disappear and the area would be locked. Before the workaround just was "exit to the Home and then re-enter the dream" but this is a patch so that the dream just Works™ the first time you enter it. OK that's all thank you for reading and thank you to everyone for making reports! Hope you had a GREAT weekend 💛 /the Triband team
