You’ll unlock the Dream Wardens reputation fairly early in the Patch 10.2 main campaign, right after you start and complete the Home in the Dream quest that’s part of the Enter the Dream chapter. Once you unlock the Dream Wardens, you can start earning reputation with them.

Enter the Dream chapter is the second chapter of the story that you’ll start and complete after The Coalition of Flames chapter from Patch 10.1.7. The second chapter starts with the Call of the Dream quest that you should automatically get upon logging in if you completed The Coalition of Flames. 

Is the Dream Wardens reputation account-wide in WoW Dragonflight?

Unfortunately, no, reputation with Dream Wardens isn’t account-wide. This means you’ll have to grind it separately for your main and all your other characters on your account. Account-wide reputations will come with the next WoW expansion, with a feature called Warbands

Why is the Dream Wardens reputation important in WoW Dragonflight?

The Dream Wardens have amazing rewards like Enchanted Dreaming Crests that will allow you to craft great gear, Flightstones, and various cosmetics. But the reason you really want to be friends with them is Dreambound Augment Runes. Essentially working like regular runes, these are permanent, and you won’t need to spend copious amounts of gold to buy them at the auction house. These runes increase your Agility, Strength, and Intellect by 87 for one hour. But since this is such an amazing item, it will cost you 100,000 gold.
