I Trained My OpenClaw to Dream. Here's What It Learned Overnight.
Short summary
A nightly cron job (Dream Protocol) consolidates agent memory by scoring recall entries against three gates—uniqueness, recurrence, truth—and promoting only patterns meeting all thresholds to long-term storage. Only ~1 entry per ~740 reviewed gets promoted, ensuring memory consists of genuine behavioral signals. This treats memory as a learning system rather than filing cabinet, solving the plateau where more tools and context stop improving agent performance.
- •Nightly consolidation scores recall entries against three gates; only high-confidence patterns survive
- •~1 promoted entry per 740 reviewed creates strong behavioral signals with minimal noise
- •Pattern addresses agent plateau where additional tools and context provide diminishing returns
