As known, dreams usually aren't realistic. One thing that to me seems dreamy is saturation. Here, I am going to show in three easy steps how to make an image look dreamy with saturation in it, as well. This also gives a little bit of a difference compared to many dream photos that I have been seeing, lately.
Step 1: After having opened your picture, press ctrl+J to duplicate your layer.
Step 2: On the new layer, press ctrl+U. Increase the saturation bar until the colors are intense, but not too intense. (Make sure "colorize" is NOT checked.) I moved mine to 50. http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i2...ream/step2.jpg
Step 3: Duplicate the saturated layer. On the new layer go to filter>blur>gaussian blur and change the radius to about 3 px. Change the blend mode of that layer from "normal" to "lighten." http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i2...ream/step3.jpg

Anyways, It worked for me perfectly.
Sorry, I couldn't upload my result, files are too big. Imageshack needs to be < 1.5mb and tinypic isn't working for me right now.. But it works, thanks
