OpenClaw Dreaming Setup — Memory Consolidation Config

| Problem | Check | |---------|-------| | Dreaming never runs | heartbeat.every must be > 0 (e.g., 30m) | | Status shows "blocked" | Default agent needs heartbeat enabled | | No promotions | Need more daily notes and variety | | MEMORY.md growing too fast | Adjust minScore threshold |

Heartbeat dependency

Dreaming rides the default agent's heartbeat. If heartbeat is broken: 1. Check agents.defaults.heartbeat.every — must be positive (e.g., "30m") 2. Don't override heartbeat on a specific agent without including the default 3. /dreaming status will say "blocked" if heartbeat is missing
