Right now, I'm kind of satisfied with the current version of "dreaming" as mechanic on some other cards that I made, so here's the current version of "wishing" together with my hopefully convincing explanation how unicorns reproduce:

Lover's Glade
Land - Forest Plains
Lover's Glade enters play tapped.
, tap two untapped unicorns you control, : Wish for a unicorn. (Reveal the card on top of your library. Up to five times, you may put the last card revealed this way on the bottom and reveal the card on top of your library. If the last card revealed this way is a unicorn card, put that card into your hand.)

And here's another random land card:

Tranquil Highlands
Land - Mountain Forest
Soulbond
Tranquil Highlands enters play tapped.
As long as Tranquil Highlands is paired with a creature, that creature has ": Add or to your mana pool."

Peaceful Flatlands
Land - Forest Plains
Soulbond
Peaceful Flatlands enters play tapped.
As long as Peaceful Flatlands is paired with a creature, that creature has ": Add or to your mana pool."

And here's the rest of the cards that I already designed for a set around wishes + dreams:

Aw. I like Wishing a lot more than Dreaming. Super cute. Kinda might need a slight wording thing, but I ain't so good with the words.

As pable says.

Wish for a Unicorn (Reveal the top card of your library, you may put that card on the bottom of it. Repeat this process 5 times. Reveal the top card of your library, put it into your hand if it is a Unicorn card)

Also with a little funktional change:

Wish for a Unicorn (Look at the top card of your library, you may put that card on the bottom of it. Repeat this process 5 times. Reveal the top card of your library, put it into your hand if it is a Unicorn card)

If the first card is a unicorn card, why should I reveal it five more times? What about this: "Up to five times, reveal the card on top of your library and you may put this card on the bottom of it. If the last card revealed this way is a unicorn card, put it into your hand." By the way, I like your suggestion of wishing for a unicorn rather than a unicorn card, I'll change that immediately!

Why not just "Look at the too five cards of your library. You may reveal a Unicorn card from among them and put it in your hand, then put the rest on the bottom of your library." More of a standard wording. I'm not sure if you're trying to increase the suspense or something, in the event that you get a unicorn on your first try but want to keep trying for a better one? I don't think it adds much though.

EDIT: Wait, now I see it.  It's a sort of pseudo-Scry, so it's useful even in the event that you don't find the Unicorn you're looking for.  Still, it could probably be cleaned up a bit.

Oh, and if you're going to be looking at an arbitrary number of cards when you wish, I think Three would feel more flavorful. 'Cause three is a magic number.

Your version of this ability was already printed for many different creature types, I really believe that revealing an early unicorn card would create tension because one of the last cards might be a much prettier unicorn.. Also, that's why the previous version used the number seven, what other numbers would you suggest if we should encourage gambling? (Which the number three doesn't..)

Edit: Actually, pseudo-scry wasn't my intention, it's just another random bonus that's a product of not using the common wording!

Every unicorn is equally pretty.

Hiding in the middle is the best way to hide yourself, because nobody expects that..
