Over the past year or so, I've really been loving the new and emerging dream pop artists and bands...
Here are some of my favourites:

Apparently her new album is due next year!!! :D:D
Check out Beach House for a good example of the sub-genre:

St Vincent.
Melody's Echo Chamber.
As well as those already mentioned, most of whom I love I could list quite a few other favourites.
Slowdive

John Foxx & Robin Guthrie, the Mirrorball album is very dreamy, a favourite of mine

Mew are one of my favourite bands, so under appreciated, some of their music is really dreamy

Some Goldfrapp stuff too i'd recommend the Felt Mountain and Seventh Tree albums and this new song 'Drew'

bit of a long post :)
Going to see me live in London next month!
She is an experimentalist, she does dip in and out of the genre but her Visions B sides are kinda dream-poppy:
Angel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U54tkJ5fLrE
Ambrosia: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EacilOuwrHo
They are definitely some of her strongest tracks, I wish they were on the main album!
Plus I think her vocals in general bring her into that dream-pop direction more so than her her instrumentation does.
YESYESYES!!! How could I forget? Cruel in particular is pretty spectacular! :D:D

Wow, I love this.
A thread on DS... with good music in it. I think I need to lie down.
Drugstore (another 90's band) have also recently released a new album so the genre is still alive
Unfortunately School Of Seven Bells have recently gone into Hiatus due to Benjiman being diagnosed with cancer
Haha thanks! Keep the suggestions coming guys!!!:D
MOJO magazine gave away a CD titled "Dream Pop" in 2010. It included: Sigur Ros, Mercury Rev, Panda Bear and the Ruby Suns and some older
proto-DP stuff (Brian Eno w/ Cluster, the Cocteau Twins).
This makes a lot of sense, dream pop originated as a subgenre of alternative rock and has recently descended more into a pop/electronica direction.
A bit gutted I missed this CD actually:/:(
You could try to get a second-hand copy off somewhere
like Ebay.
Definitely a band you should check out
Heaven or Las Vegas
Pearly-DewDrops' Drop (second time I have got to reference that fav)
Elizabeth Fraser really falls under the radar when it comes to innovators.
If this is just dreamy music then
The Durutti Column - Sketch of Summer
And is this not Dream Pop?
Liverpool Express - You Are my Love. ( never though I would ever reference that!)
Sorry but I think the only artist that could be called Dream Pop in your list is Lyke Li
I think the rest is just you trying to shoe-horn your favourites into a thread!
I thought a genre or sub-genre like 'Dream Pop' defined a style of music rather than a set of artists?
For me The Ronettes were doing something like 'Dream Pop' in 1964.
Walking in the Rain
From your previous examples
Ellie Goulding - Just because she does an occasional ballad or accoustic song does not make it dream pop
Florence and The Machine - Just because she has an unusual voice does not make her dream pop, the fact that she has a powerful set of lungs and uses them in many of her songs underlines this.
Kate Bush - Again, an unusual voice does not mean dream pop
Bjork - Fair enough, I will agree with this one.
