To cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi, one must gather all the tailed beasts, awaken the Ten-Tails and use it to plant the Divine Tree. Then using the Divine tree, one must cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi on the moon and the process will start on its own. The moon will cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi using white light to trap everyone on the planet. Anyone who comes in contact with this light will get trapped in it. There are different complex methods on how exactly this happens as Madara and Kaguya use different techniques to cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
The Infinite Tsukuyomi does not affect dead or reanimated people. The only jutsu capable of avoiding the white light is Six Paths Sasuke’s Perfect Susanoo. Once trapped, everyone will get wrapped around into the Divine Tree where they will see a dream of their liking and choice. These dreams will be structured for every individual’s happiness and joy. These dreams will go on forever until the Infinite Tsukuyomi is undone.
