Dream nail will be a thing in this game?

The dreamnail was amazing in hollow knight, SOOOOO many dialogues from persons, dead bodies and even object, also have a combat use and some characters know when you are reading his minds.
I think hollow knight silksong will loose a lot of potential without some kind of Dream Needle or whatever.

We don't know. Maybe not directly the Dream Nail once again, as that belonged to the now extinct Moth Tribe.
But maybe a new tool, possibly a string related one. But who really knows.

I'm not sure that TC will repeat this certain aspect from the first game. Themes of dreams, ghosts, ruined dead kingdom and past lives were part of Hollow Knight, and now we can see that Silksong presents some changes, in comparison to the first game: fulfiling wishes of bugs, alive but haunted kingdom, ascending to the top of new land. Technicaly they could do this again, but for me it seems unlikely, mainly because I think TC want to focus on adding content to the "real world", add more dialogues because of Hornet conversation part, and to give to the sequel some fresh themes (probably).
I agree, there is a lot of content that Dream Nail provides (bosses, areas, dialogues, additional soul gaining option). However it seems possible that Dream Nail was created due to Ghosts- who were a backers content, and after that new mechanics based on gathering essence and soul, like also new content based on dreams were created. In conclusion I think Silksong will present new themes not releated to dreams so there will be no Dream Nail, and as consequence no content releated to it like it was in Hollow Knight.
Perhaps TC will add a new item to gather more silk and to have some new use of it, but I doubt they would repeat Dream Nail and themes connected to it once more.

I think the dialogue option of hornet can help us to get Lore and info, But is not as cool as hearing the thinks of people dead or alive.
