Dream, real name Clay[1] (born August 12, 1999),[2] is an American internet personality and video game speedrunner.[2] He is most notable for his Minecraft content, constructing unique scenarios within the game as the basis for his content, such as various twists on the game's rules or internal logic, which he publishes to YouTube and streams to Twitch. His YouTube channels have a combined total of over 17.9 million subscribers and over 1.33 billion views. Dream has been credited for helping revive the Minecraft player base with his original and unique ideas on the game,[3] and his popular "Minecraft Manhunt" series has been described as an "incredibly popular new pillar of the Minecraft community".[4][5]

Career[edit]

YouTube[edit]

Dream created his YouTube channel on February 9, 2014, originally under the name DreamTraps.[6][7] His popular videos often feature challenges related to Minecraft. Dream is known for coding Minecraft challenges, often participating with his friends and fellow Minecraft YouTubers GeorgeNotFound and Sapnap. One video, published in 2020, features Dream and GeorgeNotFound using a system programmed to electrically shock a player in real life every time the player take damage within Minecraft.[8][9][10]

His channel reached 10 thousand subscribers on July 17, 2019. Dream reached 500 thousand subscribers on November 9, 2019, and 1 million on December 20 of the same year. On September 16, 2020, Dream reached 10 million subscribers. He is one of the 450 most-subscribed channels on YouTube.[11] His two other channels, DreamXD and Dream Team, also have over one million subscribers each.[12][13]

In 2020, in place of their annual YouTube Rewind series, YouTube released a list of their top-trending videos and creators. On the U.S. list, YouTube ranked Dream's "Minecraft Speedrunner VS 3 Hunters GRAND FINALE" video as the #7 "Top Trending Video", and ranked Dream as the #2 "Top Creator" and #1 "Breakout Creator".[14]

Minecraft Manhunt[edit]

Dream's most well-known and most-watched series is Minecraft Manhunt, described as a "new game mode"[4][15] in which a player (usually Dream) attempts to speedrun the game with only one life, while another player or a team of players attempts to hunt the speedrunner down and kill them. The hunters each have infinite lives and a compass pointed towards the speedrunner, and the hunters win the game if the speedrunner dies before completing the game.[4][16][17][18][19] On January 22, 2020, an episode of this series was uploaded which featured Markus "Notch" Persson, the creator of Minecraft, playing as the speedrunner. In all, since the series started on December 27, 2019, it has accumulated over 483 million total YouTube views over 20 episodes.

Speedrunning and streaming[edit]

Dream is a major competitor in Minecraft speedrunning. He has previously held world records and has become well known in the speedrunning community, since before making regular Minecraft content online.[20][21] He has held the world record for speedrunning survival Minecraft (without the use of glitches) several times.

On March 3, 2020, Dream recorded his first world record in a video titled "Minecraft Speed World Record 1.14", where he beat the game in 32 minutes and 21 seconds.[22] He continued to break his own record, with his lowest time being 22 minutes and 4 seconds on June 11, 2020.[23] He held the record for about two months until speedrunner Korbanoes broke it with a time of 21 minutes and 26 seconds.[24]

For the high level of skill he displays in both his speedruns and his YouTube videos, Dream is considered to be one of the best Minecraft players in the world, even being called the "best Minecraft player in the world" by sports news website Sportskeeda.[25] He commonly streams his speedrun attempts on Twitch. He has also taken part in various Minecraft community events, most notably the Minecraft Championship (MCC) hosted by Noxcrew. He has competed in every Championship since the 6th championship, with notable opponents including Joey Graceffa, Jordan Maron, LDShadowLady, Pokimane,[26][27][28][29] DanTDM, and James Charles.[30]

Personal life[edit]

Dream, whose real name is Clay,[1] keeps most information about his real-life identity private. He resides in Orlando, Florida,[31] with his cat Patches.[32]
