It's been gone for over four years, after nobody worked on cleaning it up
for a while before that:

commit 3414df8ca38b203c8a5ad8efc32d4a3836a0596d
Author: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...e.de>
Date:   Fri Oct 29 12:42:18 2010 -0700

    Staging: dream: remove dream driver and arch from tree
    
    This code is stalled, with no one working on it anymore, and the main
    msm code is now going through the proper channels to get merged
    correctly.
    
    So remove it as it contains a number of kernel information leaks and it
    is doubtful if it even still builds anymore.
