OpenClaw 4.5 introduces a scheduled 'dreaming' feature to automatically prune, organize, and consoli

openclaw 4.5 added dreaming.

agent memory only grows. nothing gets pruned. your brain does it in your sleep. your agent doesn't.

now:

# openclaw.json
{
  "plugins": {
    "entries": {
      "memory-core": {
        "config": {
          "dreaming": {
            "enabled": true,
            "frequency": "0 */6 * * *"
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

# check what it decided:
openclaw memory promote-explain "deployment workflow"

runs on a schedule you set. three phases.

light tidies and dedupes short-term material.
REM extracts themes, writes reflection blocks to DREAMS.md.
deep decides what earns long-term memory, writes it to MEMORY.md.

memory has always been the weakest part of agents. they store everything but never organize.

now, let your agent get some sleep.
