About items being unloaded

[Smoopadoop]

What makes an object not loaded, and not tick forward in time? Has this changed since legacy?
Do I need to sit by the dreamcatcher for 20 minutes to get a dream?

Objects aren't exactly what is unloaded. I believe it works that a map tile that hasn't been loaded by a player (a player being able to see that minimap) for 15 minutes (think it was stealth changed from 20 mins) is considered unloaded until another player loads the map. I don't think it's something you should worry about, tanning and such instances seem to have been fixed.

You shouldn't need to sit next to a dream catcher to get dreams, they just take a bit of time.
