Dream Team

Dream Team is the poly ship between Dream, GeorgeNotFound and Sapnap from the Dream SMP fandom.

Canon
Dream and Sapnap met online in either late 2012 or 2013, and have been friends since. They have mentioned on streams that they would play Minecraft together and call each other on Skype. George and Dream met on BadBoyHalo’s Minecraft server, MunchyMC. Dream revealed in a Q+A that he messaged George first about making a plug-in but never got a response, so Dream learned to code to do it himself. Dream eventually becomes a developer for MunchyMC alongside George. It is unknown how Sapnap and George met, but it was likely through their mutual friendship with Dream.

As of current, they are all good friends and make frequent collaborations together on Twitch and YouTube. They also co-own a joint channel together called Dream Team, which features all the members in videos. Their popularity can mostly be attributed to their Minecraft Manhunt series.

All three creators know how to code, though only one of them (George) has studied it in college. Dream revealed in a Q+A that he created his first plug-in due to George ignoring his message to make one together. In late 2019, Dream starts teaching Sapnap how to code, due to the younger taking interest in it from seeing Dream and George code.

During Dream's January 26, 2022 Twitch steam, he answered a donation question of if he sees himself living with George and Sapnap long-term, with the answer being yes. They bought a house for the three of them with the intent of it being long-term. Due to this, they plan on living together for a minimum of 5 years. After those 5 years, they'll see how everyone is "feeling" and decide the next course of action from there.

Minecraft Challenges
Dream occasionally jokes about how George and Sapnap constantly fight, as the two almost always argue when teamed up together and will target each other on purpose during fights. However, this is all friendly banter, as Sapnap has said multiple times on stream that he loves George and that “[he] and Dream let George know he’s loved everyday.”

In Minecraft, But A Black Hole Grows Every Second..., Sapnap gets separated from Dream and George early in the video and spends most of the video trying to reunite with his friends. He eventually gives up and sets up camp somewhere further away. Meanwhile, Dream and George run for their lives as the black hole grows behind them.

Livestreams
Dream and George created a survival world intending to build a house together. Sapnap eventually joins them and the survival world has since been known as “Dream Team SMP” or “Dream SMP”.

During the Dream SMP War, the Dream Team stands atop a mountain looking down at L’manberg, and Dream says a short speech about how George will rise as the next king, essentially appointing him as his second-in-command. Sapnap gets annoyed at being left out.

During one of Dream’s late August livestreams, George and Sapnap suddenly started sniping each other across the base. Dream gets annoyed at them since he was trying to build and he tells them to cut it out, but the two ignore him. Dream tries to stop them by standing in between them, which leads to George accidentally shooting Dream. Sapnap yells that “George shot dad” and he and George start fighting again. Meanwhile, Dream expresses his disappoint in George for shooting him, even though it was on accident. Fans who viewed the stream during and after it joked how Dream has become the father of two rowdy toddlers (Sapnap and George).

Later on in the same stream, George bans Sapnap during one of their fights. Which causes Dream to suddenly start attacking George with a steak. Sapnap is in the background during their skirmish, telling George to unban him, but the other two members ignore him and keep fighting. Eventually the fight slows down when Dream breaks half of George’s netherite armor set.

Sapnap gets unbanned, and accidentally kills Dream with an arrow. Leading to their third fight, which ended when Sapnap dies to Dream. According to Dream, they play like this off-camera as well.

Minecraft Championships
After Dream wins MCC 8, Sapnap and George cheer for him on their own streams. Dream looks up to Sapnap, who was in the audience, following his victory.

At the end of MCC 10, Sapnap is sad over the three of them losing and goes to George and Dream for comfort. He messages George “I miss u” and stares at him before noticing Dream watching them, and then tries to get a hug from Dream. Dream initially backs away, but stays still when Sapnap tells him to give him a hug. These two moments inspired an influx of Sapnap fanart, particularly of the moment where Dream lets Sapnap hug him.

Love or Host
During George’s Love of Host Auditions, Dream is asked whether or not if he’s considered being in a polyamorous relationship with George and Sapnap, to which is replied he has. Whether or not he said this ironically is ambiguous.

Twitter
The unofficial name for the Dream Team plus BadBoyHalo is “The Four Muffinteers”, which was created by Bad.

Dream recalls that his favorite memory of 2020 was when he was about to reach four million subscribers and George hit one million subscribers, and George yelled “I F**KING LOVE YOU DREAM!” They did something similar when Sapnap reached one million as well.

Fanon
The rise of the ship came along with the rise of Dream’s popularity on YouTube. In fanart, Dream and George is almost always associated with the colors green and blue respectively, while Sapnap usually has a fiery-themed color such as red or orange. The ship is well-received among fans, and supported by most fans of Dream’s popular Minecraft Manhunt series.

A common theme among fan works, is that Dream is the “mature” one of the trio and that Sapnap and George act like children who fight constantly. This was further exemplified when Sapnap shouted “You hit dad!” at George after the latter accidentally hit Dream with an arrow, an arrow that he was trying to snipe Sapnap with. Sapnap is also fan only accepted as the third-wheel for Dream and George.

On Twitter, the hashtag, #dteamhearts, trended in the United States on June 12th, 2020. The tag was used by fans to express their love and support for the trio.

Poly
There are many fans who ship the Dream Team as a poly ship rather than a friendship. Fans who ship them in a polyamorous relationship use portmanteaus to distinguish the platonic version of the ship from the romantic one. To put it simply, the name Dream Team refers to the friendship between Dream, George, and Sapnap, while DreamNapFound and other portmanteaus refer to the romantic ship.
