</configuration>

but I always get the exception

Could not find default endpoint element that references contract 'ServiceReference.IServices' in the ServiceModel client configuration section. This might be because no configuration file was found for your application, or because no endpoint element matching this contract could be found in the client element.

the module system.serviceModel is repeated either in the library or the site

any idea how to fix that

This is a service-side configuration

<service name="DreamServices.DreamService">

What does the client-side configuration look like? It should have a client element with contract="DreamServices.IServices" or whatever the name of your contract is.

what do u mean by client side configguration – AMH Jul 13 '12 at 07:36
In WCF there is a configuration for the 'client' (the process which sends a request) and the 'service' (the process which receives the request). You've posted the config for the 'service'. Check the config for the 'client'. – Kirk Broadhurst Jul 13 '12 at 08:17
