Binding of Isaac: Rebirth Wiki

(in Repentance)

Dream Catcher is a passive item added in The Binding of Isaac: Repentance.

Effects[]

  • During the transition between floors, Isaac's nightmare shows the item that will be found in the Treasure RoomTreasure Room and what Boss will be at the end of the floor.
  • Grants a Half Soul Heart upon entering a new floor (this includes each floor of the Ascent).

Notes[]

  • On Curse of the Labyrinth floors, both items and bosses are shown.
  • If the floor Isaac is going to has no Treasure Rooms, Dream Catcher will simply show the floor's boss. If there are no Treasure Rooms or bosses on the floor (i.e. in The ShopThe Shop, Ultra GreedUltra Greed, and HomeHome), the dream will instantly be skipped.
  • Dream Catcher cannot show glitched items generated by TMTRAINER. Instead, it will just show The Sad Onion.
  • Dream Catcher will show a poop in the Treasure Room if there are no item pedestals in the room.
  • On CorpseCorpse II, the boss will appear as a blank space; on the special MausoleumMausoleum/GehennaGehenna II floor that leads to HomeHome, it will appear as Mom.
  • On The VoidThe Void, the Dream Catcher will show all the bosses that can be found in the various boss rooms, starting with Delirium.
  • Having the Dream Catcher is useful for attempting to get a Planetarium, as you can skip the current floor's Treasure Room if you know the item inside it is bad.

Synergies[]

  • Book of Revelations: If the floor boss is revealed to be one of the horsemen, therefore Book of Revelations can be used early, as the downside is no longer relevant.
  • Satanic Bible: If the floor boss is revealed to be one of the horsemen, and if the player has no interest in the Cube of Meat or doesn't mind paying health for it, Satanic Bible can be used early.

Interactions[]

  • Devil's CrownDevil's Crown: Dream Catcher will show what the Treasure Room will have if Isaac chooses to enter the room without the crown.
  • Found SoulFound Soul: The soul will receive half a soul heart for every new floor he follows Isaac to, allowing him to survive multiple hits and gather up to a maximum of 12 soul hearts. His health resets when the trinket is dropped.
  • More Options + DownpourDownpour/DrossDross, etc.: Dream Catcher will not show the third item if going to the alternate floors.
  • Red Key: When on alt path, if a bonus Treasure Room is encountered before the regular Treasure Room, the left item showed in the dream sequence will appear in that red Treasure Room, but the right item showed in the dream sequence will still be in the regular Treasure Room.
