Dream pod

Energy: 6Stress Relief: 3Environment: 3Comfort: ++
The Dream Pod is a bed featured in The Sims 3: Into the Future. It can be bought in the Bed section in Buy Mode or the Beds section under Comfort. Unlike other beds, the Dream Pod can change a Sim's life by providing a unique dream, which grants the Sim special effects when they wake up. Sims can gain advanced technology skill while they are selecting a dream. Dreams can also be shared with other Sims who sleep in other nearby beds or tents.
It is supposedly possible with Double Dreaming, where involved Sims will have 2 dreams at the same time, but this has not been researched well. .package game files also mention a "Dream about Ex-Wife" interaction, which has been even less researched, to the point it's unclear if it even exists in-game.

Different dreams provide different need and skill adjustments, depending on the situation.
Sims may have bad, neutral, or good dreams while sleeping in the Dream Pod. If a Sim is having a bad dream, the letter "Z" above their heads will become red, if a dream is neutral, it will become white, and if a dream is good, it will become green.
==Influence dream==
"Influence dream" is an interaction that affects the type of dream the Sim is having. It is only available when a Sim is dreaming. This option has four sub-options, and these options can be different depending on the dream theme. Each of these sub-options can influence the dream towards being a good or bad dream. If a player selects a good dream option, green smileys will appear above the Sim's head, otherwise bad smileys will appear.
Under normal circumstances, the top and right options are good (The knowledge of which can turn Dream about Waking Up into a gamebreaker), while the bottom and left options are bad. It is hard to tell if this is case for all players and installations.
==Dream effects==
There is no minimum amount of time the Sim must dream in order to get effects from dreams, and they can get effects after dreaming for mere minutes before waking up again.
===Need dreams===
Waking up from these dreams alternate Sims' motives. Good dreams will increase the need while bad dreams reduce them. No dreams for Entertainment are known to exist.
