Best Answer

The Greeks had a goddess of night-time called Nyx.

Even though she wasn't a goodess of dreams per se, one of her sons, Hypnos was the god of sleep. The son (or brother) of Hypnos was Morpheus, a dream creator.

A possible goddess of dreams may be the Hindu female personification of Maya, illusion. This is about as close as I can get to a 'goddess of dreams'.

The Celtic pagans would attribute dreams to Epona, the goddess of fertility and horses. They believed that it was Epona and her white mare that brought dreams as a means of guidance and teaching. Not every dream was brought by Epona.

This may be where the term 'nightmare' comes from.
