The character, created by Jack Kirby, first appeared in The Eternals #18 (December 1977). His origins were added in stories written by others and published decades later
Within the context of the stories, the Dreaming Celestial is a renegade Celestial named Tiamut. He claims that during the Second Host to visit Earth, he resisted the Host's decision to not turn the Earth over to the Horde and was exiled and his spirit trapped in the "Vial". This remains sealed under the Diablo Range in California until it is discovered by Ghaur who temporarily releases the Dreaming Celestial's power.
The Dreaming Celestial attempts to escape his prison by way of the pocket universe watched over by Ashema. He succeeds only to be defeated by the Fantastic Four and Doctor Doom.
He is reawakened by the Deviants and acts as a beacon for the Horde as he proceeds to "judge" Earth. This leads to his confrontation with Fulcrum and his ascending from the state of a Celestial.

Vaulting the sea, the prairies dreaming sod,
Unto us lowliest sometime sweep, descend
As of the curveship lend a myth to God.”
