Clay[5] (born August 12, 1999), known by his online alias Dream, is an American YouTuber, Twitch streamer and singer who is known primarily for creating Minecraft content.

Dream has been active online since 2014, but did not gain substantial popularity until 2019, with the release of his "Minecraft Manhunt" YouTube series. Dream also gained notability for his Minecraft speedruns, however several of his records were struck down due to evidence of cheating. Content created in the Dream SMP, Dream's invite-only survival multiplayer (SMP) Minecraft server that stars content creators engaged in roleplay, has also attracted considerable attention, acclaim and a popular fandom.

As of August 12, 2023, his seven YouTube channels have collectively reached over 43.51 million subscribers[b] and over 3.66 billion views,[a] and his two Twitch channels have collectively gained 7.37 million followers[c] and 19.01 million views.[d] YouTube awarded Dream the Streamy Award for Gaming in 2020, 2021, and 2023.
