Arguably the most exciting part of this second summer update for many players was the return of dreams. For anyone who is not familiar with this feature &#8211; dreams allow players to visit each other&#8217;s islands at any time.

One player who received a message like this thinks they were banned due to their island featuring Star Fragment Trees. Other players are posting on social media how they have <a class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/pinky_crossing\/status\/1289034127719542784\">received the same message<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>While dreams can be reported, there&#8217;s no way at the moment to appeal the decision if your island is deleted from this part of the game &#8211; and noticeably, Nintendo says the decision is final.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nintendo Life Earlier in the week, Nintendo rolled out version 1.4.0 of Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
