RE: Need advice
The logic is this:

You received a box showing Dreamy from two starters showing generic whiskers. This proves one parent hides exactly Dreamy and the other either hides Dreamy as well, or hides something more recessive than Dreamy (that is, Ody Frazzywave)

The odds of these parents producing Dreamy are 1-in-4.

You several options:

Open the box. While waiting a week for a partner, re-pair the parents. You'll have 1-in-4 odds of obtaining another Dreamy offspring, and 1-in-8 odds it will be the opposite gender of your box. Next week, pair the box to the parent for 1-in-2 odds of another Dreamy. This will get you there cheapest, but takes longer.

Open the box. While waiting a week for a partner, obtain two more Dreamy or Ody FW and pair them with the parents. This gives you two chances for another Dreamy (and, possibly, an Ody FW). Your odds are now 1-in-2, with two samples (instead of 1-in-4 with 1 sample). Next week get another Dreamy or Ody FW. Next week, pair you box either with a parent or with that other. This will get there faster, but costs more.

Don't open the box. Choose one of the two above options.

Same as above but with more dominant whisker shapes. This is even slower, but can avoid the need to purchase more cats, so can be cheaper.

Since your question is about ONLY Dreamy, you don't care about trait counts. 1-trait (Dreamy) will do. The reason for using 8 or 9 trait partners is to increase your odds of NOT-Whisker-Shape traits appearing. Which, of course, is good, but off topic.
