Dream Tricked EVERYONE On The Dream SMP... 

I mean, Dream doesn't seem like a person who isn't always five steps ahead. That's why Dream is one of my favorite characters(Alongside Wilbur), his character is so villainous, and his manipulation skills really gives him an upper-hand. I mean yes, i do have a bias for villains, but his character is so cool!

He did get to be near connor, everyone wants that

mans trying to write his own sob story so people will feel bad for him while also being safe from the egg inside the prison sdlfkj cdream is such a well-written villain i am so invested in this story

One small thing: I don’t think it was ALL planned. Quackity going quite as insane and the torture probably wasn’t part of his plan: Even someone as resolved as Dream probably wouldn’t deliberately give himself THAT much torture.

Theory: He wanted to go into the prison so he could finally have a house??

The fact that dream building the prison for himself can be further confirmed by the fact that dream said "they had to lock me up in a prison built just for me" in tommys livestream

The most important line from all the lore yesterday was from Dream himself. When he was confronting Tommy, just before he swore to make Tommy’s life a living hell? He said something along the lines of “They’ll think I’ve changed…” He did this exclusively to become the good guy. He victimized himself, stuck himself in prison, acted pathetic and broken and reformed so that the server would see him as the victim. The victim of Sam, of the Prison, of Tommy. The server thinks the prison was built for Tommy, they say Dream deserved it, and he pretends to believe it. Man’s never reformed and never plans to. The torture from Q was probably unexpected, but it just makes Dream look more hurt, more changed, more pathetic. It plays directly into his plans. If people don’t find out about Punz’s lie, they’ll think Dream is a good guy. They won’t listen to Tommy’s cries about exile and how dangerous Dream is. They’ll go back to thinking Tommy is overreacting and annoying and ignore it when Dream makes it even worse down the line. It’s devious. It’s evil. It’s incredible. And I’m so. So happy that I saw it coming. It was a thought in the back of my mind for months, but seeing it all come together is just. Perfection. It’s a spider’s web tightening around its victim. The threads are all sharpened and taut, ready to close in. And Dream, the wicked weaver, is the one pulling them. He never stopped being the puppet master. He just had to make sure no one else saw him as such.

You could say that Dream didn't take what people were attached to but he made them attached to something he could remove easily. Which was the fact that he was stuck in prison.

Dream seems like the guy who is five steps ahead. He had to risk everything for his goal. The happy family. Dream is by far one of my favourite villains, tied to first place by Wilbur. Dream has the manipulation, the plan, he constructed everything. That's why he gives me chills. Deep down, behind it all, is a mastermind. A monster. He can easily get people angry, make them feel sympathy for him and you know what the scariest part is? His 'loss' never existed.

He is always 4 steps ahead.... what a beast! Only time Tommy won against him... was when Dream literally arranged for it!! I'm team 'Green Homeless Florida Man.'

I'm pretty sure it was revealed on twitter that Ranboo must have lost 2 of his cannon lives while Enderwalking. No one saw it because Ranboo can't remember them in his normal state. So when Ranboo lost a cannon life, that would have been his third, and final life. So now it makes sense that Ghostboo is so happy and can remember everything that happened since that is the opposite of what Ranboo is like (forgetful, stressed, unsure of himself).

I have been saying this for a long time Dream has been staging this whole thing. Think about it, he is planning to gain back his power. I can quote him: *"You paint me to be the big bad villain, when really, I have good reasons for what I do."* He said this to Quackity, watch his vod or Captain Puffy's *Video.* Dream isn't the villain, but neither is Tommy, Schlatt was just a hiccup. Everything spun out of control from the moment Schlatt won the election. You fitted everything perfectly, just keep this in mind for the next lore stream. You don't have to believe me just keep this in mind. I literally have rewatched these's pov's over a million times.

But why? That’s the part I haven’t been able to figure out. It’s been hinted at forever that he built the prison for himself but it doesn’t make sense. Why break out? Why make horrible conditions? Why lose his lives? The closest answer I’ve seen is to bring the server together against him, but that’s still pretty loose.

Man 2 things that i got called crazy for believing on: Purpled actually just being in Las Nevadas for revenge and Punz being Dream's Spy BRO I WAS RIGHT-

I think the Dream SMP may not be a perfect story, but god, is it one that is so captivating. Also, I've been thinking of a few things. I feel like although Dream is a mastermind and a clear puppeteer, he is also a very loyal friend to those who stick by his side. This is blatantly shown with Punz, multiple times. Dream does not treat Punz as some sort of puppet or servant to just use freely because of his loyalty, but Dream really cares and does what he can to make sure his plans does not put Punz in any sort of danger. Looking back to their conversation before the imprisonment arc, Dream so clearly says that if Punz were to continue siding with Dream, it would put him in a certain danger that even Dream himself does not think he could aid. Thus, Dream made sure that when he was taken to prison, Punz looked as if he had betrayed him to take off any suspicion of Punz still siding with Dream. Also, when they had their most recent conversation, Dream makes sure that they do not mingle with each other for too long so as to avoid anyone seeing them together and making them turn on Punz, which ultimately would lead to him getting hurt and possibly killed. Punz is the only person who never left his side, and Dream will make a hole in any of his plans to ensure Punz is unhurt. On top of that, Punz trusts Dream a whole lot if you ask me. When Punz had mining fatigue and needed his stuff to get mined, he didn't hesitate to ask Dream to help him, and Dream did not try to even take anything. Dream mined the stuff and gave back the pickaxe to him, even going so far as to stand back to ensure he does not pick anything up by accident. Punz trusts Dream, and Dream trusts Punz, and I feel like this duo is going to be really powerful in the near future, with Dream pulling string and acting as the ultimate mastermind and Punz doing the best he can to make sure the plans Dream has do not foil. Though it does make me wonder, how would it be if Sapnap and George had stayed by Dream's side instead of taking Dreams words of not caring about anything but the disks to heart. Punz hadn't taken the words to heart, and now he is safe on the masterminds side.

GOD I _love_ how smart his character is, it makes you think that he's trying to get back something that he needed, lost, or whatever, everyone loosing his card game and they don't know what cards he has so it's getting more and more exciting

here's the question we're left with: why? why did he HAVE to be put into prison for his plan to be in action why did he HAVE to become hated was killing tommy in the prison a part of the plan? is dream REALLY insane? or is it all just a ploy? is tommy really his nemesis, or is he just another pawn? i struggle to see how ANY of this benefits dream, but i guess time will tell.

i think why c!Dream Made himself stuck in prison due to how people will be attaching to him later on. We saw how much fear he had sought in the server. By then, we could assume that he's a THREAT that could not be left alone. After the imprisonment, people try their best to make sure c!Dream stays in prison. After he broke out, we saw how much of an impact it was to the server. People are now ATTACHED to him. People are now FOCUSED on him. People are now OBSESSED about him. He's the CENTER, he's the SPOTLIGHT, he's the MAIN ATTACHMENT to EVERYONE. People forget their opposition to the others and will focus to him and ONLY him. It's "one big happy family" it is.

This Just Shows How Much Of A Mastermind Dream Really Is.

It's as Ranboo once said in his stream that no one's ever had Dream's pov, we never know what he is up to, I just hope all this beautiful buildup isn't wasted

You know a story is very well written when it makes you start questioning the past _and_ what knowledge you have and accepted as fact. I love unreliable narrators, they make a story interesting. But holy shit are these stories a headache, 100% worth it tho.

Nobody: Dream at all times: I am 4 parallel universes ahead of you

Beyond the genius that is Dream, imagine the damage this would do to people's moral. I mean, locking Dream in the prison was honestly the only true win they had, before he always got what he wanted, always won in a since. So imagine learning that the one victory they had, was a lie, and Dream still won in the end? That's gotta break some spirits.

Dream is such a mastermind. It shows how terrifying batman can be if he's the villain.

This is the theory I’ve been waiting for! I’ve been seeing bits here and there but I haven’t been able to figure it out

The plot twist that changes the past in retrospect more than the future is the best kind of twist. Not only is it the most interesting and shocking, it also provides endless potential for going back to past events with a new perspective. If it was actually set up well, it’s incredible and memorable, instead of a twist only changing the future, which ends up being just another story beat in the grand scheme of the story.

The fact that my exact theory I had when Tubbo said “It seems weirdly too perfect” are actually cannon is really awesome. I’m so excited to hear everyone’s theories on what Dreams plan is, and I can’t wait for this next season! :)

I knew it from the day where he was locked up. Because as if Dream was that stupid man- Schlatt already played the „dumb“ villian And I still am suspecting that Dream has a backstory because I mean- Ghostbur did say: A villain is just a victim we haven’t heard the story of yet It won’t excuse actions but it might explain them Idk

I also thought back then that tubbos line of 'it being to perfect' was kind of true

People seem to be so shocked it was all planned.. But at the same time… The Punz stream where he mentioned for Punz to be with him but not show like he was more than enough to convince me. I was honestly waiting for this part to happen and I’m so happy it happened.

Dream: I cut all of my attachments Also Dream: Sapnap, Can I have ,my armour back?

But with Dream and Punz said, not everything went exactly to plan, I don't think Dream planned for Quackity to torture him, or for Techno being capture with him. He always planned to be in prison, willing to endure whatever happened. I feel like he knew that somehow it would come out, he didn't know exactly how, but it would come out, no matter what happened. For what? What does he have planned? Now that he can have more control of what happens, I am afraid😀

I've always wondered why no one takes it as weird that too many Dreams are out there. Beyond the fact that the server has Dream as a name, this DreamXD who canonically is a superior identity one of the gods and who recently mentioned to Foolish that Dream was the first to create, but speaks of gods in the plural, he is not the only god existing and you can't do everything you really want because you need to use others beyond seeming boredom and ego. We have Dream, the now ex-prisoner, whom we always see. We have the brief appearance of NotDream123 that brief is still a Dream This MexicanDream that even being quackity is canonically a Dream and character now dead. Mamacita is officially a character. I'm not sure if CopDream and Drista are an official character / disguise but there are still too many Dreams to just play and role-play, I think there are other 'alter egos' Dream and coincidentally, the only one who could imitate / take on the appearance of Dream was someone who has a smiley face. I don't know how real this is but the amount of Dreams in dream smp is still crazy.

This was a super good episode! The only question I'm left with is why Dream would want to be in the prison in the first place, and I'm guessing that we'll know that soon enough.

I also have this thought... what if Dream dosent have 3 canon lives? What if he had infinite? And no one knows and just thinks that he only has 3? And speaking of canon lives, I also noticed that L'manburg had 3 lives too. 1. The time where Dream placed one piece of tnt causing an chain reaction exploding l'manburg. 2. Wilbur pressing the button 3. Doomsday

The techno lore stream wasn't scuffed

Basically: Dream did a planned deus ex machina. For himself. For his future self after seeming hopeless in jail for nearly a whole year on purpose, he made his escape infamous yet simple all along.

I ACTUALLY SAW PUNZ POV AND FREAKED OUT I LIGIT JUMPED OUT OF MY CHAIR

Sam had no proper reason of killing Ranboo. He used the wrong person to use as captive since dream couldn't care less about dream. So did dream hire Sam to act this entire time just to kill Ranboo. Would this make it easier to do something like get control over Tommy or Tubbo or someone else that was close with Ranboo since dream knows how to bring others back. Was this the plan all along?

So Dream is basically Pablo Escobar, he built a prison for himself and then escaped it. xD

In my opinion ghosts, versions are just the living happiness that was hidden in the characters. They weren't able to express it because everyone is too focused on politics, wars and sides, so they can't see what makes them truly happy. As ghosts, they don't have flaws, for example like Ranboo and his memory problems. When he Revival himself as Ghostboo he told Tommy he remembers anything and that he is happy being dead.

Honestly, it's hard for me to call Dream "a villain" in a story where no one is a good person by morals and other shit. Everyone in Dream SMP has done some crap. But, I can easily call Dream "an antagonist". Because, as Tommy being kind of protagonist, Dream is simply against him. P.S. Keep in mind that hero/protagonist and villain/antagonist are different things. These are not synonyms.

Punz said that he thought the plan was to meet Dream a while ago. Techno's plan for getting out of the prison was meant to be three days but ended up being three months. So is it possible Techno was in on it from the beginning? Edit: I was in a rush earlier so I didn't explain this well. My idea is that if Dream's plan for a while was to be in the prison, what if he told Techno about it and asked to use his favor for it? Techno might have been hesitant if he knew that he would have to bring others into it, but he still agreed. (this becomes important later.) Time goes by, and Techno goes to the prison, expecting Philza to break him out in three days, but instead, it took three months. From there on, we know how the story goes. All of this would've been planed before Dream entered the prison, thus, giving him time to let Punz know what Techno's plan was. This is why Punz expected to meet Dream much sooner than he did because he was expecting the plan to take three days. Going back to what I said earlier, as Dream is running off of Techno's property he calls out that he owes Techno a favor. But... he doesn't. They're even now. So my theory is Techno asked Dream for another favor since Techno would have to bring into and endanger other people in this plan.

Wondering what Dream's plan is, and why he's going to all of this trouble? Find out in this video! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ahcWhQVvQ84.html

yes i had been predicting this too because of punz's and dream's conversation

Way back when I said Punz was a Double agent the people called me crazy *What are they to say now?*

im so excited for techno x tubbo revenge arc on sam. anyone else?

I have been on this theory since Punz said he was paid to be on Tommy's side at the disc finale

*He have never lost* That already give hella outta chills

Guys imagine what kind of chaos would happen if Dream when visiting Kinoko found out the whole time travelling thing.

For anyone who doesn't know he was on (these are timestamps of when he was basically alone with people on different streams, as ik some people missed these) 55:46 - 1:20:15 Techno's stream 1:12:25 - 1:14:52 Punz' stream 11:22 - 19:13 Tommy's stream 1:35:00 - 1:43:47 Sapnap's stream

As A wise person said THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!

It makes a ton of sense, but may I speculate that there may have been a hic up on his plan: Quackity. Did he expect Quackity to come and torture him constantly or did he bare that pain all for his plan and plaid Quackity as a fool too? I’m excited to see!

The messy storyline is the most captivating point of dream smp. There's no good guy bad guy.

I've been thinking this for so long that dream is a anti hero and not a actual villian

Dream sounded so happy when he saw Punz🥺🥰 It was so fucking adorable I can’t-

5:29 easily the best bbh quote so far.

Dream : Y’all are playing Minecraft. While I’m playing death NOTE

I MEAN JUST IMAGINE THAT THIS WHOLE TIME TOMMY WAS THE BAD GUY AND DREAM (my friend and i discussed this for hours 😂)

It's sad that ranboo died and imagine micheal asking tubbo wheres dad? 🥺

Dream reminds me of the Joker: getting himself into prison, maniacal laugh and madness, getting broken out, super good at planning.

now, very important question: why were ranboo and punz collecting stone?

Ranboo (ghostboo) somewhat confirmed that Micheal was taken by Sam Ghostboo said that Before Ranboo died sam had told him to drop this things or else (we didn’t hear this next part) however ghostboo said that Sam threatened Micheal by saying, “drop your things or else Micheal dies” basically telling us that Sam had access to Micheal, meaning he either has him or he’s going to get him. Later on techno goes to where Michael should be and he’s missing. Why would Sam threaten Micheal if he didn’t have him plus it’s kinda ironic how after he said this Micheal was missing.

This blew my mind. I almost can't believe it. Thank you for sharing your insanely logical theories with us. Can't wait for more

So. Mr Magician. If Dream’s plan was to be imprisoned and he’s succeeded in said plan… Why? What has he gained? Other than getting to torment Tommy by killing him and reviving him at one point he’s gained nothing from this elaborate scheme. Technoblade doesn’t owe him a favor anymore, he’s lost 2 lives, his supposed accomplice Ranboo is a ghost now (which may or may not be a bad thing but that’s yet to be seen), he got tortured by Quackity, he lost the discs, even Wilbur’s revival didn’t seem like part of his plan since Tommy was the one who came up with the idea to involve Ghostbur. Other than people assuming Punz isn’t working with him anymore he doesn’t have any new cards to play that he didn’t already have or that he couldn’t achieve without being locked away right? It doesn’t make any sense…

the thing is, there isn't any point in keeping dream alive because he's never going to give away the revival book the whole point they kept him alive is because he could revive people, but he's never going to help others with it so there's no point in trying to bargain with him

the thing that i don't understand tho why all the trouble to make this? why make a super elaborate scheme of you being painted as a bad guy, put in prison, then get out? why?? to assert dominance or something?

I think Dream himself said that the prison was for himself while threatening Tommy in Tommy's stream

If you can remember, the change in his character really started to happen after he got the revival book from jschlatt until then he was just a threat but after that his actions became more cryptic and more evil.

I actually really considered this theory being true, and it really IS possible, like there's a big big chance it's true, especially be ause of the clip where Dream told Punz to "go against him". Also I think only except for Quackity-torturing-him part, he predicted everything

I wonder if someone else mentioned this, but maybe the reason Ranboo only had one life was due to the first thing that happened to him when he joined the server (Dream killed him twice). It's such an influential event on his character, with a strong fear of Dream and a pacifist outlook on life (he made a sword that he ditched to try to please Dream so he wouldn't kill him). Its probably how Dream got into Ranboo's head too, being so scared of Dream that he does whatever Dream wants and forgetting it to protect himself (the voice Ranboo hears is his guilt/fear/suppressed memories taking on Dream's voice, the source of his guilt/fear).

I’ll be honest, I had a feeling that it was all going to dreams plan, but hearing someone else say it out loud just makes me so flipping excited

I think he might be doing it to test his followers loyalty and bring them closer to him, or at least that's part of it.

Expect for his 2 cannon lives, his OP shit, a year of his life, his friends, any positive reputation he ever had, the precious disks, his "house", and his Sanity

I think its very likely especially when you consider the fact: Dream placed a chest with the blueprints BEFORE he was imprisoned in the place where he and techno met. Plus he didnt seem to really hate punz after his "betrayal"

My prediction is maybe the final dream smp lore will be techno vs dream

Dream: It's big brain time Everyone else on the Dream Smp:Dream is gone forever Dream: I'm back Everyone else on the Dream Smp:Oh shit

Dream actually won right after first L'manburg destruction

I feel really proud from calling it from day one. If you go back and watch the old vods with all the details, theyve been hinting that it was staged from the start. Its crazy how much planning goes into this story, as that was almost a full year ago.

I mean, let's be honest! If Dream didn't plan the whole prison thing, he would have EASILY won the battle against Tommy and Tubbo

I wish to Dream to stream at least once so we can also see his POV and why he does it. And we will finally understand it.

I'm not a c!dream apologist by ANY MEANS, but HIS CHARACTER IS SO INTERESTING OML

5:25 : Dream somehow managing to compliment himself is just *wow*

And dream needs a big distraction to start on his Tommy torture, schlatt recently said he's coming back and what's a better distraction than all of the major villains returning in the span of a few months

when punz confimed this theory i was surprised

Imagine dream had take inspiration and change the story by watching anamigican discs didn't matter video could be a possibility

Ahh yes, the reason that Dream and Punz thought that he would get out so much earlier... is because they didn't expect Philza to wait 3 months before pushing the button.

Punz being a double traitor is genius

THIS is why c!Dream is my favourite :D I was smiling the whole way through this video and the breaking out and i'm just so happy he's out!

The only question I have is...Why? He was clearly overjoyed when he was broken out of prison. And besides, if he wanted to regain his control on the server, locking himself in a jail for a year is an...Interesting way to do it.

You said they somehow survived and escaped. I think you mean somehow technoblade prevented himself from killing everyone.

i was a punz and dream staged finale truther and oh my god im still in shock that it turned out to actually be canon.

I want to know so badly what are his intentions ! XD This character is amazing, but what is his true self ? The psychopath chasing after Tommy or Punz's friend ? Why did he put himself in the prison ? Why did he forced himself through so much ? What is his F goal ??

I mean yeah, but WHY? what did Dream gain from rotting in prison for a year and loosing his favour? what that he couldn't have achieved by just leaving for a year and living very far out I mean apart from some very cool streams

ISTG IVE BEEN SPECULATING THIS FOR SOOO LONG. My next theory is that Dream will use the 'I was tortured by Quackity, look at how sad I am' card to gain pity. This also means that Dream KNEW he was not going to be killed by Quackity but still acted scared to make this belieavble. Also, Dream gave Techno the axe, almost willingly. He was just 'Here is the Axe of Peace! Now leave and let me talk to Sapnap!', which is very sus, considering he went back to the place where Tommy was Exiled jsut to get it. Its almost like he wanted Tommy to BLAME techno for helping Dream escape, since Tommy was already wary of Phil and Techo after they helped Dream escape. I have the slightest feeling that Michael will come into play here. He tried quite a number of times to break Dream out. (cannon or not, Im not sure since it wasnt during a lore stream), but still acted almost oblivious to what Dream had done. Wouldn't he have asked about what Dream had done to be locked in the prison b4 trying to break him out? Another thing that was a little shocking for me was that Dream went for Tommy before going for Quackity. The only thought that I would have for this is that he wanted Tommy to be scared of him first, to not even WANT to go after Dream to allow Dream to have one less party going after his head. Ranboo only had one cannon life, which is confusing. The only reason I can think of so far is that he would know Quackity is more prepared (both physically and mentally) than Tommy coz Quackity thought Dream had escaped wayy b4 he actually did. Slime only had one cannon life bc he was (part?)-slime so does that mean that Ranboo's other Enderman and the red eyes-part made him have one life? or is it just coz he lost his lives somewhere else? While enderwalking? bc he didnt seem scared that he was gg to lose his life at all, well he was threatened for Micheal but still. Also... WHY would Sam want Ranboo in the prison, he wasnt a threat at all. How did Sam go from not wanting to lock Ranboo up to threatening to kill Micheal if he was not locked up? ALSO, ALSO, what about Las Nevadas, what about the tnt Raboo put underneath there b4 he died. We now know that Punz, Alivebur and possibly Michael are on Dream's side, so what was the stone for? Remember a few months ago the 2 of them were asking around for LARGE amounts of stone? Alivebur also said clearly to Tommy he wanted STONE, and not COBBLESTONE, but why? uh... Im not rlly sure if it was Michael asking for stone or someone else, coz i rmb a 3rd party but I forgot, someone help me find the clip or smth. The 2 of them, thus far, are DEFINITELY on Dream's side. If Punz is asking for stone then whoever else is is also on Dream's side, I think so at least. But what is it for? Stone is not as durable or blast-resistant as obsidian, which can also be easily mined (with their op pickaxes) so why is stone so important. What does Dream wanna do with the stone. Another fun thing to note, we got a Dream lore stream teaser in March, where Dream was in this like open area in the prison, but he is already out of prison, and that place was not for Ranboo since he is dead, I watched a theory vid by someone, not you I think, so why was Dream back in the prison, what security breach were they talking about if Dream was already out? Its almost as if Dream became a prison guard, but why would Sam be willing to let Dream become one. Its not like Dream had any of Sam's 'attactions' or anyt of that sort, as far as we know, or I know, so why? Kinoko kindgom. Karl seems to have lost his memories a little from time-travelling (He said he was working on a tales so we should know soon. but its the dsmp, we prob have to wait another yr) so it would be alot easier for Dream to manipulate Karl and get him on his side. Karl even seemed reluctant to support Sapnap to prepare for war against Dream and wanted Sapnpa to return the armour. It is either bc he cant rmb all that Dream has done or.... idk rlly. so theres that. Anyways I typed this out instead of doing hw, how many words was that? I have so many theories and if u want them I can always give u some. No I do not spend 10 hours on my phone every day for mcyt nononononono. Hope that wasnt too long. k bye

"Appear weak when you are strong and strong when you are weak" - Sun Tzu, The art of war

Yea, this makes a lot of sense, but there’s one question: why. I mean, why would he put himself in the prison for so long and let himself get tortured by quackity, because it doesn’t seem like he gained anything from this, if anything, he lost his favour with technoblade.

Dream, Techno and Phil are my favorite characters in the DSMP. Thank goodness this is scripted because no one irl would hurt anyone or be mean in the DSMP unless if it’s part of the script or their just joking around.

The reason why my favorite dream smp character is c!Dream is becuz the character in it self is so complicated. The constant thought of what he's gonna do next keeps you on your toes. He's not only a genius manipulator but also always seems to be 4 dimensions ahead. Unlike c!Tommy his thoughts are planned and he always has a backup plan... He's basically villain goals

I’ve also heard other theories that the prison was meant for Karl, someone who knows the past, present and future, he has loads of knowledge, it’s for someone quite powerful, or who KNOWS to much or are more capable..hinting at it possibly being Karl, some people have put suspicions that it WAS meant for Karl. but that’s just a theory..
