Hey guys, first time posting.
Found another link between pdl and Dream (sorry if this has been posted already).
Dream's old youtube name used to be DreamTraps. There was a Minecraft account registered under that name for about a month in 2015. (
NameMC |
Archive) In 2016, the name was changed to pdlCAMERA, not to mention this account utilizing a variation of Dream's old skin. The account was probably made to record Minecraft gameplays from a different perspective, judging by the name.
That's an interesting find. According to the NameMC records, DreamTraps also went by kThisisDream and Rift_Dream. Searching up Rift_Dream just brings up the NameMC pages. Looking up the name kThisisDream brings up a page from the
Brawl.com minecraft forum, in which we see that two names are interestingly mentioned together. (

Both DreamOnPVP and kThisisDream are mentioned in the same post. The kThisisDream page hasn't been active for over 5 years, but this DOES certainly put PDL close to both BBH AND Dream around the same time...unless this was another account Dream was using, given the name similarity. If that's the case, then the name pdlCAMERA implies the account would have been given over to PDL later on. In which case, they were on an account-switching basis.
Another name listed on the NameMC is ashXdream. Looking that up doesn't bring much, however it does bring up a
deactivated twitter account. Unsure of any relation here. It also brings up a infrequently used
reddit account from about a year ago. Once again, unsure of relation, but it's there if anyone wants to dig deeper.
Finally, and most interestingly, is the name DreamTraps that was brought up. This brings up a lot of hits on google, but most interestingly
THIS tweet from Dream. (

Apparently, he used to use that name for his youtube channel. Some time in 2019, he changed to Dream. Still, what this implies is a lot of things--Was the account which is now pdlCAMERA an account Dream just didn't want anymore? Was it a burner he stopped using and gave away? Or maybe an account he simply used on the side? It's hard to say. No matter what though, he's absolutely linked to this name and this account, and further linkage to PDL.
Honestly, at the rate these stans are going this SMP is going to rival Warhammer 40k in terms of lore. The SMP has dog shit lore, but lore none the less.
Man, what I wouldn't give for a random marriage arc in some WH40K book.
