After the events of "[[Heroes Reborn (1996 comic)|Heroes Reborn]]", the Dreaming Celestial found a loophole out of his prison, a gateway into the Heroes Reborn Universe. The Dreaming Celestial learned that one of his star-spawned kin was the guardian of the pocket universe. He concluded that the only way out of that pocket universe was through her, the Celestial [[Ashema the Listener|Ashema]]. The Dreaming Celestial plotted her demise, and was soon opposed by [[Doctor Doom]], Lancer, Technarx, and several other heroes. The Dreaming Celestial captured Ashema and escaped to [[Earth-616]], where he was thwarted by Doom and the [[Fantastic Four]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Gaber |first=Nabeel |date=December 8, 2020 |title=Avengers: How a Celestial Helped Marvel's Heroes Return |url=https://www.cbr.com/avengers-celestial-marvel-heroes-return/ |access-date=February 20, 2025 |website=[[Comic Book Resources]] |language=en}}</ref>

In an alternate future, the Dreaming Celestial awoke and turned [[Galactus]] into a weapon that would consume the entire universe, leaving the Dreamer to become the nucleus and founder of a new, darker reality. The Fantastic Four, [[Thor (Marvel Comics)|Thor]], [[Iron Man]], and [[Gladiator (Kallark)|Gladiator]] thwarted his plans, resulting in Galactus consuming the Renegade.{{Issue|date=May 2009}}

The Deviants eventually re-awoke the Dreaming Celestial, who turned from black to gold when the sun's rays hit him. However, for reasons as yet unrevealed,<ref>''The Eternals'' vol. 4 #6 (2006). Marvel Comics.</ref> the Dreaming Celestial decided against destroying the Earth as he had originally intended, at least for the moment. The Dreaming Celestial decided to wait and judge humanity for himself by his unknown standards. In the interim, he informed [[Makkari (comics)|Makkari]] that a devastating force called the Horde, drawn to the planet by the Celestial's awakening, is heading for the Earth.{{Issue|date=April 2009}}

The Dreaming Celestial silently stands in place, towering above [[San Francisco]], with Makkari as his prophet. In this capacity, the Eternal is an object of veneration to the Deviants, who call him the Skadraach ("avatar").<ref>{{Cite web |last=McGuire |first=Liam |date=October 7, 2021 |title=Marvel's Eternals Just Brought The MCU's First Deaf Hero Into Canon |url=https://screenrant.com/marvel-deaf-hero-makkari-mcu-canon-eternals-comics/ |access-date=February 20, 2025 |website=[[Screen Rant]] |language=en}}</ref> He speaks to Makkari, although to the latter's apparent detriment, and once even spoke through him; on that occasion, he referred to himself as '''Tiamut the Communicator'''.{{Issue|date=April 2009}}

After creating a diversion by having [[Magneto (Marvel Comics)|Magneto]] attack San Francisco, the [[High Evolutionary]] removed a specific item from the Dreaming Celestial's head through a process Magneto refers to as a [[lobotomy]].<ref>''Uncanny X-Men'' #500. Marvel Comics.</ref> The object is used in an experiment on Magneto which appears to restore his [[Mutant (Marvel Comics)|mutant]] gene.<ref>''Uncanny X-Men'' #507. Marvel Comics.</ref>

After X-Club returned from their trip to 1906, they found the Dreaming Celestial standing right on top of the spot where they buried the blood samples regarding the origins of mutantkind they were meant to study.<ref>''Uncanny X-Men'' #512. Marvel Comics.</ref>

In the final issue of ''Eternals'' (vol.4), the Dreaming Celestial confronts the [[The Fulcrum (comics)|Fulcrum]], hinted at as being Marvel's supreme being, the [[One Above All]], as the Fulcrum assumes the form of "Jack" (an homage to Jack Kirby). The Dreaming Celestial questioned his own purpose and in the process, removes his helmet, revealing a human-like, but shining face. The Fulcrum declared that it had sought a Celestial who would rise above its purpose since before time began, and asked the Dreamer to become his companion; he accepted.<ref>''Eternals'' vol. 4 #9 (2006).

During the "Dark Angel Saga" in ''Uncanny X-Force'', the Dreaming Celestial is used by the corrupted [[Warren Worthington III|Archangel]] to retrieve a Celestial device known as a Life Seed to remake the world. In ''Uncanny X-Men'' Vol 2 1, [[Mister Sinister]] manages to gain entry into the Dreaming Celestial and use it to battle [[Cyclops (Marvel Comics)|Cyclops]]'s Extinction Team.
