Sharing creations to named accounts
There are a lot of creations released to the public that are there, not because the creator wants them to be public, but because they want to show it to a friend or friends. There are ways around this such as adding people to creations as collaborators, or sharing as unlisted and giving the friend an indreams link, but this is not always what people want to do.
We should have the option to share Dreams to named accounts only. Advantages to this are:
1) You could have invite only releases so that friends can see it, but the general public dont
2) Those with Patreon accounts could have additional content that users pay to see - such as asset collections, tutorial content, extra game levels.
3) Hidden content that is revealed to players by solving a clue or getting on the scoreboard and the creator adds their name to an exclusive access section.
4) Invite only content for challenges or collaborations.
5) Invites are for people viewing the content unlike collaborations where they could alter it.
6) It could reduce down some of the social media style Dreams where Dreamers just post information text to friends to the public areas.

This would help bring people in just for playtesting too--without allowing them to edit the project, and force their names onto the credits list.
Essentially, all we'd need is for it to be exactly like the collaboration system, but without giving them permission to edit; only view.

I like the idea in principle to reduce some of the less desirable Dreams plugging up Dream Surfing.
On the flip side, i would hate for Dreams to become fragmented in to a bunch of paywalls.
On the flip flip side. Maybe then Mm could open Dreams to more diverse content and even allow some more mature Dreams if they are published to a private group not shown to the main Dreams community. (although Sony would never let go of their censorship)
