Dream is the titular main antagonist of the Minecraft web series Dream SMP.

He serves as one of the two main antagonists (alongside Jschlatt) of Season 1, the main antagonist of Seasons 2 and 4, and one of the two overarching antagonists (alongside the Egg) of Season 3.

He is the founder of the Dream SMP server and the leader of the faction group of the same name. Dream brands himself a peaceful individual, when in reality he is a heartless, extremely arrogant, and manipulative tyrant who has committed numerous acts against many people in the SMP, such as instigating the Dream SMP Vs. L'Manberg War and the Disc Saga and has gone to numerous extreme measures to ensure his rule over his own server, his noble intentions slowly becoming more corrupt and self-serving over time.

After the events of the rebellion against Manberg and Tommy's numerous antics, Dream became more and more unhinged and obsessive, going to even more torturous and downright manipulative tactics to try and keep TommyInnit from further damaging his reputation as a leader and his control over the server, starting off by exiling him and continuing to manipulate L'Manberg's political landscape to his advantage. His narcissism and compulsive desire for total authority would lead to his eventual temporary (and somewhat staged) downfall and imprisonment, although he would still carry a vast array of tricks up his sleeve as he continued to scheme up until his breakout.

With an arsenal of manipulation tactics, a feared reputation as one of the most powerful players on the server, for being known to have a method of resurrecting people, Dream is now the most dangerous and most hated player in the entire server due to his heinous nature and a true force to be reckoned with among those who are aware of his true nature. He is the archenemy of TommyInnit, Tubbo and Wilbur Soot.

He is portrayed by the real-life YouTuber of the same name.

Appearance[]

Dream appears in the form of his Minecraft skin: he is completely green, with his torso sporting a pixelated depiction of his avatar (a crudely-drawn white stickman with a smiling face). During the beach episode, he wears purple trunks with a blue flower pattern on them, as well as sunglasses on his avatar's eyes.

In fan interpretations, Dream is often drawn as a human/humanoid with blonde hair, wearing a green hoodie, dark pants and a white mask with a smiling face on it.

Personality[]

Prior to his true nature being revealed, the general view of Dream from most people from an exterior angle on the Dream SMP (especially new people who are unaware of Dream's violent history) was that Dream was a forgiving, loyal and compassionate leader who stuck up for his allies and went out of his way to punish anyone who actively tried to rebel against him in a malicious manner. In a way, Dream was viewed as a messiah-like figure on the server, not only being the most powerful member in terms of raw skill, intellect and authority, but also due to his strong ideals and beliefs as well as his willingness to put an end to all conflict that arises, with his allies viewing his actions as justified and being necessary for the greater good of the server.

Dream's true ideals and mindset couldn't be further from public perception, as in reality he is an extremely arrogant, villainous, dishonorable, sadistic, iniquitous, nefarious, depraved and immoral tyrant who is obsessed with power and control. Dream's primary concern is staying in control of his server and keeping everyone on the server in line. Dream appears to have a pathological and psychological need to keep people, towns, cities and even entire nations under his control to establish dominance, his power complex likely stems from being the founder of the server and the leader of the server's most powerful and dominant faction. Although many people on Dream's side view him punishing people who disobey him as taking out insubordinate people, Dream is obsessed with keeping himself in control and will go to numerous extreme extents to ensure that he remains his power and that nobody is able to challenge his rule, such as theft, murder and even terrorism, all to fulfil his self-centered goals. Dream even states that the primary reason he exiled Tommy was because he was the only person in the server who never listened to him and kept on rebelling against him, sparking numerous conflicts that would forever change the server's history and forcing Dream to do what he thought was necessary and banish Tommy from L'Manberg.

Dream is extremely egotistical and narcissistic, fully believing in his ability to orchestrate plots, manipulate others and dominate his enemies in combat. Believing himself to be the superior player and adding to his pathological need to maintain control, Dream's ego has skyrocketed ever since Tommy instigated the first war against him, quietly observing L'Manberg's construction with disgust and laughing at the idea of L'Manberg becoming an independent nation. Dream is also a very capable leader, but is stubborn and arrogant which leads to him not being capable of backing down from a fight. Despite his sheer amount of over-confidence, Dream's ego never seems to be a factor in his downfall or hinder him in any way, as his ego is outshined by his manipulative nature and ability to hatch near-flawless plans.

At his core, Dream is a heartless, emotionless and highly intelligent and cunning manipulator who controls many events behind the scenes. The Manberg Rebellion demonstrates perfectly how Dream will exploit big conflicts for his own personal gain, as the only two outcomes would benefit him. If Jschlatt won, Dream would stay on his side and remain in power, whereas when Pogtopia won, Dream feigned surrender and "helped" them take down Schlatt before revealing himself as the mastermind who orchestrated L'Manberg's destruction alongside Wilbur. Dream already thought lowly of Schlatt and saw Pogtopia as his key to victory. Throughout the conflict he pretended to assist Pogtopia in several fights against Manberg's factions as they were ultimately the faction that were emerging victorious during the battle. Much like Eret, Dream fights alongside factions that'll benefit him and and betrays then at the last second when they no longer do. If Dream can play an entire country like a fiddle, he can certainly take advantage of one individual, and he does exactly that with Tommy during his exile from L'Manberg. Throughout his exile, Dream constantly abused Tommy both physically and psychologically, toying with the false narrative he told Tommy that no one wanted to visit him. When Dream first started asking Tommy for his items, Tommy repeatedly refused, insulted and tried to attack him before giving in due to Dream's ruthlessness, but over time Tommy became more accepting of Dream asking him to hand over his items, eventually giving in completely and handing them over without a second thought. It got so bad to the point that Tommy was thankful for Dream letting him keep his items. Dream is also extremely ungrateful, as when he was finally broken out, he was annoyed that he had to follow Technoblade in breaking Ranboo out of prison and only bickered with Ranboo throughout the breakout. When Sam held Ranboo hostage and threatened to kill him unless Dream returned, Dream refused to cooperate, flat-out admitting to Techno that he didn't care for Ranboo and prioritized his own safety over Techno's allies.

Not only had he conditioned the idea that he is much more influential and powerful than Tommy, he was able to successfully gaslight Tommy into believing that all his friends had abandoned him and that Dream was his only real friend in the world, leading to Tommy shutting off contact with everyone by severing the bridge between his section of the Nether and the Nether portal which leads to the Community Hub, and even being disgusted and confused when other people come to see him as he'd been conditioned to believe that Dream was his only friend due to his lies and abuse. Although Tommy eventually snapped out of Dream's manipulation, Dream tried to guilt-trip him into making Tommy believe that he had betrayed Dream. Even though Tommy already had brief moments of realization that he was being deceived during his exile, he was utterly powerless to fight back against Dream and had no idea how to stand up to him. Dream would later apply these same tactics to manipulate Sam into depending on him for his survival. During Sam's imprisonment, Dream twisted Sam's perception of how he saw the other members of the server and began to distort Sam's own view of himself, trying to make Sam embrace the fact that he had become a bad guy, all whilst denying himself to be one and downplaying his previous actions to appear more genuine and relatable towards Sam.

Although not exactly an anarchist, Dream is a big fan of senseless destruction as he only serves to cause chaos, insert himself in wars and hope that they benefit him, no matter the amount of damage done to others around him, enemy or not. When Wilbur destroyed L'Manberg, Dream was ecstatic as he finally saw his and Wilbur's vision come to fruition, knowing that he had manipulated events to get to this point and that it all paid off. By the time of the Doomsday War, Dream had fully embraced chaos and teamed up with Techno and Philza to destroy L'Manberg, an action which he saw as necessary to restore peace to the server, claiming that he was finishing what Wilbur started by decimating the country and killing many people in the process.

Despite his sheer and utter ruthlessness, thirst for control over others and long-running rivalry with Tommy, Dream claims to genuinely care about Tommy and that his care for Tommy and his well-being is what pushed him to exile him from L'Manberg, although his "care" is little more than complete obsession. Dream believes that Tommy's rebelliousness stems from a troubled childhood and not having to face the consequences of his actions due to being let off the hook time and time again by members of the SMP. He truly believes that exiling Tommy, leaving him to suffer by himself and constantly abusing him will encourage him to "toughen up" and face the consequences of his actions. However, Dream stating that what he did to Tommy stems from genuine care and affection could once again be another form of manipulating to paint him as a misunderstood leader who had to take up drastic measures. Dream's perception of parenting Tommy by banishing him from his friends and into isolation is extremely warped and borderline deranged, and only serves to show how far Dream has fallen since the early days of the SMP. Dream may not even realize that his actions have affected Tommy in such a negative way as the boy has experienced severe trauma and depression and has even contemplated suicide just to escape from Dream, something that the latter doesn't see much concern for, either due to his perception of empathy or because he truly has no care at all, something which is supported by the fact that Dream claims to love tormenting Tommy as he claims it's "too fun", something he retains after breaking out of Pandora's Vault by chasing Tommy and sadistically tormenting him. Even if Dream does genuinely care for Tommy, his "kindness" has warped into complete and utter sadism and a morbid obsession with watching his arch-nemesis fail over and over again to escape the hell he's put him through. Dream's obsession with Tommy ties into his controlling nature, where all he wanted to do was regain Tommy's discs as to him Tommy was the "key" to him establishing himself as the one true ruler of the sever. Dream's obsession hasn't decreased in any way, having tormented Tommy several times after escaping prison and constructing a trap in his house just to increase his paranoia.

During the confrontation with Tommy to get his discs back, Dream demonstrated just how far he was willing to go to keep control over the server, having stashed away items belonging to members of the server so he could use them as leverage to manipulate them even further. After numerous wars and believing that he finally had the upper hand, Dream finally let lose, stating that he was going to kill Tubbo in front of Tommy and lock him in his vault. Dream was willing to go as far as to kill a seventeen-year-old because he wasn't fun to use anymore and do it in front of his best friend to traumatize him for life before locking him away forever, showing just how far Dream had fallen. Dream would go on to cement how evil and vile he was when he brutally beat Tommy, a sixteen-year-old boy, to death in prison without a shred of remorse.

The only thing that stands against Dream and can genuinely scare him is rebellion, which is shown as clear as day in the final confrontation against Tommy in his vault when Punz lead the majority of the SMP's members against Dream, declaring that they've had enough of him and allowing Tommy to take two of Dream's three canon lives, leading to him being locked away in Pandora's Vault for his crimes against the server. Despite Punz being in on the plot to have Dream saved from death, Dream was still extremely afraid of losing his power when confronted. At this point, Dream's influence over the server was over as his true personality had been revealed to everyone, now seeing him as the manipulative monster he truly is. After being stripped of his power and imprisoned, the real Dream came out, that of a sad, lonely coward who's lost everything he's worked for and the control he had over others. Although he does still use several tactics to his advantage while imprisoned and that going to prison was sort of part of a bigger plan he had conducted behind the scenes, he was primarily reduced to a shell of his former self, viewing his imprisonment as unjust, although he did rightly fear the torture that Quackity put him through on a daily basis, with the latter becoming the only person Dream was genuinely afraid of.

That being said, being imprisoned didn't restrict Dream's abilities to manipulate people and come up with larger schemes, such as killing and resurrecting Tommy before moving on to doing the same with Ghostbur, managing to resurrect Wilbur Soot and manipulate him into seeing him as his "hero" for reviving him. Even when imprisoned, he kept his compassion and attachment to people and objects nonexistent, especially towards Techno, as although he was happy for some company, he only saw Techno as a means to get him out of prison and only spent time with Techno since he was his cellmate. Although he still retains his cunning and intellect, Dream's rage and insanity have only been heavily amplified. Most of the time, Dream is prone to outbursts of pure anger relating to his imprisonment and often vents these feelings of frustration to people who visit him. On top of that, Dream's imprisonment has taken a large toil on his mental health, his insanity mounting until the moment he killed Tommy, where he proceeded to laugh maniacally over the fact that he just killed a teenager. Dream's manipulation while imprisoned extended until the day he broke out, having been constantly emotionally breaking Sam down as the warden by overworking him, which culminated in his mental health taking a drastic toll upon Tommy's death.

After his escape from prison, Dream's insanity only increased tenfold, becoming hellbent on taking revenge on everyone who had wronged him. His time in prison, despite being a facility of his own making, had only increased his delusion of being a victim of a corrupt system that wanted chaos to thrive, despite himself openly being a fan of senseless chaos. Most of Dream's anger and hostility towards people like Tommy and Sam have to do with the torture he was put through by Quackity in order to get the revival book, with all of his pent-up rage and frustration turning him into a much more cold, intimidating, dispassionate psychopath that believes the wrongs done against him justify all the pain he's put others through. All of his anger and animosity is easily proven to be insanely hypocritical, as Tommy would also exact revenge on Dream for the torture he put him through during his exile, something which was completely justified due to Dream's villainy. Compared to Tommy's misguided, yet truly noble intentions to make the server a better place, Dream had no excuse for any of his actions as the majority of them were motivated by a pathological need to control others, and even his other motives that were slightly redeemable have completely been shed.

The ONLY time Dream showed remotely any form of compassion after abandoning all of his personal items was towards a cat that had teleported into Pandora's Vault, but it was quickly killed by Tommy to remind Dream of when he captured the personal items that belonged to everyone else on the server. Even at his death, he still insults George and Tommy.

Overall, Dream is an extremely twisted, borderline psychopathic and utterly vile individual who only cares about himself and the control he has over others. As stated in WilburSoot's D&D Alignment Chart posted on Reddit, "Dream is VERY chaotic evil. Dream wants only one thing, to stir the pot and disrupt the status quo. This is a villainous stereotype.".

Trivia[]

• Dream has spawned numerous comedic moments and memes on the server.
