Dream's connection with Ranboo!

Okay, theory time:"Dream" repeats some of the phrases to Ranboo very often:
"I'm you."and"I'm not even real."So what if, in reality it's not "Dream" but Ranboo himself that isn't real?Let me elaborate.We all know that Ranboo the person exists physically. Like. Other people can see him and know that his physical form is real. But what about his identity?Ranboo clearly sees himself as an independent person who has a free will and could change things if he tried hard enough. Yet, he never actually does anything to actively prevent tragedies from happening, leading him to question himself in retrospect every single time.But what if he literally can't make decisions for himself because he has always been a facade?Ranboo seems to believe that the voice in his head is the part of him that isn't real, but imagine it being the other way around!And now, and even more extreme thought experiment:Ranboo is actually Dream's alter ego and cannot exist without him.The reason why I'm saying this is because Dream and Ranboo have always been two sides of the same coin; They both want the server to be a "big happy family" - they may go differently about it, but ultimately, their goal is the same.Now, let's take into account what we know about Dream and his abilities.He apparently is in possession of a book that he claims can revive people.After Tommy's stream we know that Dream did, in fact, not lie about that and that he's capable of performing certain types of dark magic, namely necromancy.So what if, theoretically, the book held not only the key to reviving the living but also had instructions on making... let's say your own little new life, to frankenstein something together?A perfect little patch-work doll that does whatever you want it to?Dream would certainly want an obedient puppet like that.After all, even his closest supporters have proven to have their own opinions, disrespecting the decisions he was making for them.He may like them as friends but... they're still unreliable.So when Schlatt offers him the book Dream doesn't hesitate and strikes the deal.He soon begins experimenting and stumbles over a ritual that allows you to split off a part of your soul and put it into a secondary body.Of course he would choose a mob that is rather submissive as a basis for the creation of something meant to obey him without making a fuss, but that still possesses abilities useful to him, so Enderman seems like the obvious choice.Dream goes on to create a spy that is actually part of him, but that doesn't realize it as it has its own conscience; It's a marionette that isn't aware of the fact that it is just that - a puppet made to follow Dream's orders only.Remember when Ranboo made the list of goals he put on the wall?He wrote down things like "being happy" and yet, the only thing that stayed after the Enderwalk State was the objective of resolving conflict.That's because it's the one purpose he got assigned by Dream.Ranboo may be able to feel, but in Dream's eyes, he's just a tool.He isn't entitled to joy or happiness because he isn't a real individual with a free mind - he's a shadow of Dream and what Dream wants.The truth is that the independent-minded person "Ranboo" doesn't exist at all - he's just another facet of Dream.Ranboo isn't real.


**********

So this is mostly like what this AU's Dream is like! He definitely isn't as manipulative or anything like as he is canonically, but the purpose of Ranboo's existence is like this! In this world of course Ranboo is freed from that kind of control, but will still be incredibly loyal to Dream! Again, if the actual creator of the head-cannon finds this and doesn't want it included, please let me know! I'll think of something else! SO, SEE YA NEXT TIME MY LIL' LOSERS!
