docs: dream cycle setup for both OpenClaw and Hermes Agent

Browse Source 
OpenClaw ships DREAMS.md by default. Hermes users get a cron job
recipe with session_search + gbrain + memory consolidation, plus
Honcho for dialectic reasoning.

This is what I actually use day to day. The agent runs while I sleep... literally. The dream cycle scans every conversation from the day, enriches missing entities, fixes broken citations, and consolidates memory. I wake up and the brain is smarter than when I went to sleep. OpenClaw ships this as DREAMS.md. Hermes Agent can do the same with a nightly cron job (see the [SKILLPACK](docs/GBRAIN_SKILLPACK.md#the-dream-cycle) for setup).
**You don't need Postgres to start.** The knowledge model is just markdown files in a git repo. The [skills](docs/GBRAIN_SKILLPACK.md) and [schema](docs/GBRAIN_RECOMMENDED_SCHEMA.md) work with any AI agent that can read and write files. Start there.

#### OpenClaw
Ships with DREAMS.md as a default skill. Three phases (light, deep, REM) run
automatically during quiet hours. Entity sweeps, memory promotion, and a narrative
dream diary are built in.
#### Hermes Agent
Hermes has all the pieces but doesn't bundle a dream cycle by default. Set one up
with the cron scheduler:
```
/cron add "0 2 * * *" "Dream cycle: search today's sessions for
entities I mentioned. For each person, company, or idea: check
if a brain page exists (gbrain search), create or update it if
thin. Fix any broken citations. Then consolidate: read MEMORY.md,
promote important signals, remove stale entries."
--name "nightly-dream-cycle"
```
The scheduled job spawns an isolated agent session that can call `session_search()`
to scan recent conversations (FTS5 over SQLite), `gbrain search` / `gbrain get` to
check the brain, and `memory(action="replace")` to consolidate. Enable Honcho
(`plugins/memory/honcho`) for automatic dialectic reasoning on top.
Key Hermes files for reference: `tools/memory_tool.py` (MEMORY.md/USER.md ops),
`tools/session_search_tool.py` (past conversation retrieval),
`cron/scheduler.py` (gateway tick loop).
