# memory-core dreaming: 03:00 cron, light→REM→deep; only deep writes MEMORY.md

## When
Use when daily notes should compact into MEMORY.md overnight.

## Stop
Only deep writes MEMORY.md. Never let light/REM mutate durable memory.

## Steps
1. Dreaming is enabled by default.
2. Phases (one schedule, in order): Light (stage, no MEMORY.md) → REM (themes, no MEMORY.md) → Deep (score gates then rewrite MEMORY.md).
3. Review output in `DREAMS.md`.

## Load
OpenClaw dreaming cron 03:00. MEMORY.md write on deep only.
