Dreams and Nightmares was well received by critics.[1][5][6] Dragon comments that "the enchanting imagination that suffuses Dreams and Nightmares gives Changeling a spirit of whimsy new to the Storyteller line."[6] Casus Belli described it as an "absolutely essential" supplement for Changeling: The Dreaming players, calling it cute and full of funny ideas.[1]
In a review for InQuest, Rebecca Schoenberg stated that the at times vague rules made the supplement "a bit difficult for new players to use", but that it was a "definite treasure for imaginative roleplayers".[7]
