Quite simply, I recommend checking out this link as a useful resource guide to these trials and collectibles. I claim no credit to any of the ps3 trophies guide. The reason why Im referencing ps3 trophies is because its the same DLC but they've had it for weeks already. Video guides in that link as well.
http://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/reverie/102848-castlevania-...
For those that don't wish to look, I give the following tips from personal experience even though everything is probably explained more thoroughly in the above link (it has youtube videos also!).
-----
At any point, if you fail a Reverie trial, just Restart the Last Checkpoint
-----
13-1 Trial: Combat based Trial
-----
You can't let Laura kill any enemies. This would be difficult except that there is only one room of enemies. Best solution is to go all out with Holy Water, Ultimate Light, Ultimate Shadow and even a Dark Crystal if you wanted to. You won't really need any items after this level anyways. Laura comes after the first wave of enemies, so wait until she shows up before you decide to item spam.
-----
13-2 Trial: Platforming-ish Trial
-----
1. The max speed is only 2 speed ups (thankfully). Two speed ups gets the blue cogs going and speeds the red ones up.
2. You auto-fail the trial if you pass the first buzzsaws without speeding it to the max so wait a second until both Y presses have gone through.
3. The first part of the course is the hard part. Once you get to the cog in the middle its much more simpler. The spot directly on top of the cog is a safe zone if you need a breather.
4. Be patient and you'll eventually get it. If you start getting frustrated, look away for about 30 seconds before retrying.
5. Its hard to give specific advise per section since different people play differently. If you're truly stumped, I suggest looking up a video on youtube.
6. Don't bother with the Frankenstein finger in this section while doing this trial. You can do it, but why make it that much more difficult on yourself?
-----
13-3 Trial: Puzzle based Trial
-----
Solution:
1. Move column 3 up once
2. Move column 2 up once
3. Move row 2 to the right once
4. Move column 2 down twice
5. Move row 3 to the left once
6. Move column 2 up once

Maybe the second trial intimidating at first, but after I did it before the trial unlocked it was quite easy. I didn't struggled at all!
But I grew up on PoP Warrior Within, and THAT was hard!
What was very difficult is sucking blood with Laura, to fill the cup!

Here is a video for Trail 13-2 on how one did it from beginning to end. I've attempted this several times but I got it eventually. You just need patience and time. Watch and learn

The thing that made this difficult for me was being misaligned. When you jump and grab the ledge at the beginning, you are not aligned within the strides that he makes as he moves, and the turning blades. To fix this, once I first grabbed the ledge, I went all the way to the right, until I couldn't move anymore. That fixed my alignment and made it easier to navigate, which was already difficult due to the camera's depth perception.
Hope that helps someone (who understands what I'm talking about).

Please note that if you FAIL the Trial simply press 
and Restart from Last Checkpoint instead of starting the level from beginning. Also for the Trials do not rush, take your time at certain points.
Castle Hall
- Requirements: Finish the level without allowing Laura to kill a single enemy.
- Tips: I would recommend playing on Warrior difficulty simply because Laura can kill enemies too easy on Squire difficulty. A good tip is to kill the first wave normally (without using any magic) then once Laura comes to help you either give it a few seconds for all enemies to spawn (ghouls, skeletons) or use holly water, then simply use the Dark Crystal and it will clear the room of all the enemies; after that finish the level. Like mentioned in the full game guide the best place to obtain a Dark Crystal is in chapter 10 level 3.
Abandoned Wing
- Requirements: Finish the level and cross the deadly blade wall without dying, keeping the mechanism at its maximum speed at all times.
- Tips: red blades move fast, blue blades move slow keep that in mind. Before passing the very first blade make sure you put it at maximum speed by pressing the
twice (if done correctly the blue blades will be moving). Make sure you take your time here, do not rush. Where appropriate (only left to right) do a fast move by moving 
or 
in the direction desired and pressing the 
to jump (keep in mind that both have to pressed at the same time otherwise it wont work). When you reach the first blue blade (above the circular mechanism) stay above the circle mechanism and get a feel of the blade's movements. After the first blue blade you will have 2 red blades below it, go to the far left end of the 2 red blades (once on the far left you can go up and down without having to worry; this is where you can repeat the up/down process until you get aquainted with the movements of the 3 blue blades below) and look for optimal choice for the below 3 blue blades. After passing the 3 blue blades do NOT go down but go LEFT instead. (To me this is probably one of the hardest trial in the entire game).
Founder's Quarters
- Requirements: Finish the level by filling the three pots of the Blood Orbs puzzle at the same time.
- Tips: Rows will go top to bottom (top row, middle row, bottom row); Squares from left to right (left, center, right)
Middle Row - Right Square -
Middle Row - Center Square - then 
Middle Row - Center Square - twice
Bottom Row - Center Square -
(at this point you should have left and right blood ready)
Bottom Row - Center Square - (all 3 bloods should be ready)
Then press
to Drop the Blood

In total, the additional chapter has 3 levels, respectively 3 tests, which become available only after completing the corresponding levels. As in the main game, after completing the entire game, we change the difficulty level to “Squire” and begin the tests:
Challenge 13-1 : Don't let Laura kill any enemies.
Full strips of blue and red magic will help you here (hold down
or 
to instantly kill everyone), bottles of holy water, which kills evil spirits in two shots, as well as a purple crystal, which should be used when three skeletons enter the battle. The main thing is to revolve around Laura and destroy, using the methods described above, all the adversaries to whom she turns her attention.
Test 13-2 : Go through a wall with saws, with the mechanism turned on at maximum speed. The most difficult test of all. After you jump onto the ledge, press twice on
and wait until the opportunity to press again disappears and the saws accelerate to maximum. The most difficult moment is to overcome two mechanisms with saws, moving up and down almost at the beginning of the path, and then blue saws will begin, which are already moving at normal speed. Remember that you can rest while hanging over the big gear, no saw can reach you there.
Challenge 13-3 : Fill three cups with blood at the same time. This puzzle will appear at the very end of the level, when you already have three spheres and you will need to arrange the blocks in a 3x3 grid. Open the quest scroll and unlock the solution. Redraw the location of the blocks on your piece of paper and simply repeat it on the mechanism. I started changing the mechanism from the lower right corner, making the lower right 2x2 blocks, then started on the left column and top row, which were already set almost automatically.

Video guide for trial 13-3.

13-1 - no stripes, neither blue nor red, are needed. They just knock it down. You will finish it almost to death, and then Laura will finish off the mob and the trial will fail. We set the difficulty to the easiest and in the settings the visibility of mobs' lives. And we just wet it with a whip. We see that someone is running out of life - we quickly finish them off, maybe with holy water. As soon as the skeletons appear, we wet them with a purple crystal.
13-2 Video guide .
At the very beginning, it’s generally primitive - the main thing is to remember the sequence of actions literally step by step. If there are problems - write, I’ll tell you exactly this “step-by-step” procedure.

There are only three levels in Chapter XIII. As we remember, in order to open the tests you need to complete the level. We pass the level, change the difficulty to the easiest and re-pass it, completing the task...:
Challenge 13-1: Stop Laura from killing anyone. It’s simple, we look at who Laura is attacking and get ahead of her. You can simplify this task for yourself by replaying the level with fully charged light and dark magic. Holy water also helps a lot; when light magic is turned on, it is very effective.
And most importantly, during the first passage of Chapter 13, break everything that breaks, and you will be able to collect a complete purple crystal... So, when 3 skeletons appear on the “battlefield”, we use the crystal.
Test 13-2: Go through a wall with saws at maximum speed. The most difficult test in Dopa. Only attention will help you here. When we reach the wall, click on it twice
and we begin to pass. Fortunately there is a save right in front of the wall.
Challenge 13-3: You must fill all three cups with blood at the same time. The challenge appears at the very end of the level. It’s somewhat reminiscent of our childhood game “tag” - remember when the squares with numbers had to be placed correctly...
1. Move column 3 up 1 time
2. Move column 2 up 1 time
3. Move line 2 right 1 time
4. Move column 2 down 2 times
5. Move line 3 to the left 1 time
6. Move column 2 up 1 time
