I already quoted my opinion that most of the spirit pacts are close to useless, but what would YOU request as a compensation for a dream pact you agree with a spirit. According to the description, it is incredibly useful for a spirit itself, but what would be an adequade payment for the character?

A permenant spirit power.
Earthquake or storm, using willpower instead of magic, might be nice.

Is "hidden life" something that needs an extra pact? I donīt have the book available.

Well your body is well protected wile you sleep.
But...
If someone knocks you out with sleeping gas would it cause the spirit to take over your body?
Aslo what happens if a spirit has multiples of this pact?

You're prostituting your body out.... not really sure there is a difference.

This is relevant to my interests.
Has anybody houseruled any spirit pacts? I'm looking to magic up my mundane some, but I don't think I would make any of the pacts in the book. I'd probably do a dream pact, but the sleep regulator means that's only four hours every two days.

1) I don't know if "knocked out" equals "asleep," although it would make extremely cool imagery for an NPC fight though.
2) Nothing bad would happen if a spirit had multiples, as long as all the recipients were in different time zones.

Question No. 1 opens up a completely new discussion. Now we should find a final solution for the modifiers that a spirit really has if the body it possesses had been hurt or is unconscious.

The spirit needs to spend some time at the gym so I don't have to.

If I'm not mistaken something along those lines happens in Ghost Cartels, one of the NPCsgoes down in a fight only to stand up buffed out to the max by a powerful spirit and whipe the opposition.

Yes, but NPCs do not always use the same rules they do. The writers have been known to take artistic license not to mention the fact how do we know they just weren't a vessel prepared in advance by a Houngan?

People probably take dream the dream pact because why not. For the cost of one spirit pact you can have all the pacts the spirit has to give and is willing to give. Dream pact is probably something that helps the spirit more but that could be part of the original negotiations.
Also as an interesting loop hole this would give a materialization spirit the opportunity to moonlight as a possession spirit some of the time. The best of both worlds. Plus it does not come with huge drawbacks like a friendship pact does.

Hah, Saturday morning and brain is working again.^^ Regarding "knocked out and stands up again, buffed to max by a powerful spirit" i have to say that THIS wouldnīt be a problem. This is a common possession procedure that is described in the digital grimoire, but does "knocked down" qualify as "asleep"?
