Manadream

Manadream is the slash ship between Manatreed and Dream from the YouTube fandom.

Canon
Manatreed played with Dream and Sapnap before they were famous. They had each other added on Skype, and they still do. After a tweet of Manatreed became popular and people suspected Manatreed was Dream, Dream messaged Manatreed. In a screenshot of messages, it was revealed that Dream was okay with Manatreed pretending to be him. Manatreed shared the screenshot, saying that Dream was "such a cool guy :)".

Dream sent Manatreed equipment and helped him set things up. With Manatreed messaging Eryn, a Dream SMP member, it's heavily implied that Dream also added Manatreed to the Dream SMP Discord server. Manatreed was added to the Dream SMP itself as well. Manatreed first streamed on the Dream SMP on January 29, 2022, with the stream featuring Dream. Though Manatreed appeared on the Dream SMP before that date.

Dream SMP
Dream, Sapnap and Karl Jacobs toured Manatreed around the Dream SMP. During the tour, Manatreeed answered questions and debunked a lot of theories of him and Dream being the same person. Dream was kind to Manatreed, despite his SMP character being manipulative and considered the villain of the story. At one point Manatreed said that he had a crush on everyone on the server that he was allowed to have a crush on. This includes Dream, though this was likely a joke.

Twitter
"yes the rumors are true. i am dream. this is my secret alt account where i go by ollie instead of clay (i thought ollie was such a cool name) feel free to follow my super awesome alt account"

Fanon
Originally, fans believed that Manatreed and Dream were the same person. After finding out that they weren't the same person and that Ollie is okay with shipping, people began shipping Manadream. It's overshadowed by Dream's juggernaut ship, DreamNotFound, but others say that Manadream is the new DreamNotFound or that DreamNotFound is dead. Manadream is still rivaled by other ships like Dreamnap and Mananap. Manadream has a decent amount of fan art as well as a bit of fan art. The ship currently has 7+ romantic works and 4+ gen works despite Manatreed's recent debut.

While many ship Manadream romantically, others ship Manadream as a family ship, believing that the two are related in some way. Most people that believe this thing the two are brothers, but others think they are cousins.

Speculation
Manatreed and Dream were thought to be the same person. Fans noticed Manatreed has the same gloves as Dream, but it was revealed that Manatreed had the gloves before Dream. It was also noticed that Manatreed could possibly have a smiley face tattoo, something that Dream said he wanted. Manatreed revealed that it was just a pixel error and he had no tattoo yet. Many noticed that Manatreed was saying things that Dream would say, but it turned out that this was because Dream sometimes told Manatreed what to post. A very popular fan theory was that Dream came up with the fake name "Ollie" for Manatreed because Sapnap was learning how to do an ollie on the skateboard.

People noticed that the name "Manatreed" itself was an anagram of "Dream Tean," which was one letter away from Dream Team. Fans thought this could be a clue since Sapnap's name is one letter away from "Sadnap," which was what Sapnap's name was originally supposed to be. This turned out to be a coincidence, and Manatreed's name was actually a mash-up of the words "Manatee" and "tree."

The theories were fueled by the fact that Manatreed said he was hiding something and joked about being Dream. Manatreed also put his location as Miami, Florida in an Instagram post.

Even after it was revealed Manatreed and Dream were two different people, Dream's friends and fans still joked about them being the same person.
