Dream Team

Dream Team is the friendship between Dream, GeorgeNotFound, and Sapnap from the YouTube fandom.

Canon
Dream and Sapnap met online in either late 2012 or 2013, and have been friends since. They've mentioned on streams that they would 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.

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 it 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. As Dream gets pulled into the black hole and is about to die, George and Sapnap try to cheer him on.

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 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.

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.

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.
