DREAMM is a bespoke emulator for LucasArts games, covering the SCUMM and GrimE adventure games, plus many mid-to-late 90's era Star Wars and Indiana Jones games and several miscellaneous titles from the same era.
DREAMM is best described as a hybrid emulator as opposed to a general-purpose emulator. This means that it only supports a curated set of games, but handles all installation and configuration of the games on behalf of the user. This provides a simpler interface more akin to ScummVM, even though under the covers it is an emulator more in the vein of DOSBox or WINE.
