This hidden currency is an important resource tied to Mount & Battle Pet vendor purchases in 10.2 "Guardians of the Dream". With the original name being ridiculous, I will just call it Dream Energy.

Because it is hidden in the currency tab and not mentioned in the chat log when gathered, the only way to learn about this resource is Elianna's Dream Infusion tutorial, unlocked account-wide by the "In Touch With Nature" perk when reaching Renown 5 with the Dream Wardens.
Even then the only way to see Dream Energy is an energy bar on Elianna that says "Complete activities in the dream to harness its energy!" but that isn't necessarily helpful when you have to visit the NPC in the Central Encampment of the Emerald Dream to see it. So I made a WeakAura to check it all the time:
DREAM ENERGY - WEAKAURA -> https://wago.io/7rnKZ4XPU
The currency is capped at 7000, and whenever you gather enough Dream Energy to reach that (Renown 5 is not required to start collecting Dream Energy!), the Dream Infusion quest becomes available on Elianna, rewards 1x Dream Infusion, and resets your Dream Energy on completion.(This quest has a character-specific daily lock-out right now. When you gather enough energy to be capped again on the same day, you won't see this quest until the next day, and also get stuck on energy gains 'til then)
While I was collecting data, I saw numbers between 2 to 3500 Dream Energy for different activities, and with that 7000 cap, you want to avoid wasting bigger numbers when you are already capped or close to the cap.
I hope they will add a Dream Energy bar that we can see wherever we want (e.g. as reputation bar), and notify players (we have Melsysra doing that with Dream Infused for the free Dream Infusion at Renown 18, it would make total sense), when they are capped and Dream Infusion is available in the Base Encampment.
Dream Infusion is the actual currency to "purchase" Mounts and Battle Pets, but we are dream-infusing regular creatures, so we also need to prove that we own their standard versions (for mounts the game is checking our collection, but the battle pets we have to summon once, but not necessarily close to Elianna to unlock the "purchase".

300 / 50 / 5	Emerald Bounty(Growing Dreamseeds)	When you contribute Emerald Dewdrops (Important! This is not about using Seeds!) to Dreamseed Blooms (no matter the planted Dreamseed's quality), at the end of their 3-minute growth cycle you are eligible for an Emerald Bloom reward based on the growth progress: 100% = Large Emerald Bloom + 300 Dream Energy 50-99% = Medium Emerald Bloom + 50 Dream Energy <50% = Small Emerald Bloom + 5 Dream Energy

At certain breakpoints, you'll receive a Dreamtrove Satchel that also contains Dream Energy: ~2600 Bloom = Sprouting Dreamtrove = 200 Dream Energy ~5330 Bloom = Budding Dreamtrove = 200 Dream Energy 8000 Bloom = Blossoming Dreamtrove = 200 Dream Energy During Emerald Frenzy you have a chance to kill Rare Surging Lasher: 50 Dream Energy (once-per-day)
100 / 50(nerfed to 25?)*	World Quests	100 Dream Energy for defeating World Boss Aurostor for Hibernation Heroes 100 Dream Energy for completing Elite World Quest Base Control 50 (25)* Dream Energy for completing every other World Quest Two WQs with 3-days duration will be added each day, two Dragonrider Racing WQs every 3,5 days, and two Weekly WQs (Rooted in Danger is Warmode-only) with the Weekly reset. *(Looks like they reduced some WQs to 25, so far I've seen it for Cataloguer, Climbing, and Dragonraces, but also clear Dream WQs like Sylvan Slalom or Trashing the Camp.)
50 / 25	Treasures	50 Dream Energy for most once-per-character treasures (Odd Burl, Unwaking Echo, Boon of Ashamane, etc. Exceptions: Crystalline Glowblossom, Pineshrew Pile) 25 Dream Energy for every repeatable treasure (e.g. Small Somnut, Laden Somnut, etc.)
50 / 25	Rares	50 Dream Energy for defeating Elite Rares Reefbreaker Moruud and Greedy Gessie (3 or 4 day lockout) 25 Dream Energy for defeating Elite Rares Nuoberon, Envoy of Winter, Firebrand Fystia, Raszageth's Last Breath (WM only?), and Amalgamation of Dreams (3 or 4 day lockout) 25 Dream Energy for killing/defeating a regular Rare (once-per-day)(Exception: Rares spawned by Skinners' Elusive Creature Bait, e.g. Elusive Verdant Gladewarden don't reward Dream Energy)
2	"Kills"	On the PTR we got 2 Dream Energy when opening a Renewed Dream (we got tons of Slumbering Dream Fragment on killing creatures in the zone, especially during Emerald Frenzy), but for Retail, these fragment drops have been replaced by a chance to get the loot directly and therefore you'll see these 2 energy gains occurring extremely random.

This is the "Dream Energy" that powers the Dream Infusions from Elianna. It's at 100% when you have 7000 of the currency.

You can track the currency with a macro:
/run local n=(C_CurrencyInfo.GetCurrencyInfo(2649).quantity or 0)print(string.format("Dream Ephemera: %d/7000 ",n))

It's important to note that as soon as your bar fills up and the daily is available, you need to do it immediately because the points don't carry over. The points you would have earned out doing stuff will not be earned while the daily is available. I ignored the blue question mark and did 3 chapters of the story campaign and all the WQ, and didn't get credit for any of it because as soon as I turned in the daily, it reset to zero.
