# Archive Dream

> Archive a completed Dream.

`POST /api/v1/cloud/dreams/{id}/archive`

Archives the specified Dream. Only terminal-state Dreams (`completed`, `failed`, `canceled`) can be archived. Calling archive on an already-archived Dream is idempotent. Returns the updated [Dream object](/cloud-agents/api/dreams/schemas#dream-object).

Archived Dreams are excluded from list results by default unless `include_archived=true` is passed.
