Press control+j to duplicate the layer. Change its blending mode to screen and go to filter>Blur>Motion Blur apply these settings : Angle = 90 degree Distance = 50 pixel

Again press control+e to merge all layers. Press control+j to duplicate the layer for the last time :). Set the layer's blending mode to Exclusion and reduce the opacity to 27%. You now have faded dream effect :)
