Memory: harden lancedb dreaming config parsing

CHANGELOG.md

@@ -49,6 +49,7 @@ Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai
 - Matrix/runtime: resolve the verification/bootstrap runtime from a distinct packaged Matrix entry so global npm installs stop failing on crypto bootstrap with missing-module or recursive runtime alias errors. (#59249) Thanks @gumadeiras.
 - Matrix/streaming: preserve ordered block flushes before tool, message, and agent boundaries, add explicit `channels.matrix.blockStreaming` opt-in so Matrix `streaming: "off"` stays final-only by default, and move MiniMax plain-text final handling into the MiniMax provider runtime instead of the shared core heuristic. (#59266) thanks @gumadeiras
 - Gateway/agents: fix stale run-context TTL cleanup so the new maintenance sweep compiles and resets orphaned run sequence state correctly. (#52731) thanks @artwalker
+- Memory/lancedb: accept `dreaming` config when `memory-lancedb` owns the memory slot so Dreaming surfaces can read slot-owner settings without schema rejection. (#63874) Thanks @mbelinky.
