Ready for the summary?
The beginning of this tale generally starts with the end of Dipper and Mabel's summer, and the supernatural phenomena that is soon called the Transcendence; the event in which all thing paranormal and strange spreads across the globe and becomes commonplace - much like in Gravity Falls.

The Transcendence itself was a side-effect of thwarting Bill Cipher's ultimate goal of merging the mindscape with the physical dimension humankind resides in. As one of the most powerful supernatural beings in existence, and one of the few able to cross dimensions, Bill's goal wasn't one rooted in "good" or "evil", merely the drive to create chaos, and thus, entertainment. It took him thousands of years to set up such a complicated and powerful spell that would otherwise be impossible without the precise alignment of certain stars and planets, and he influenced countless civilizations with his near-omnipotence in order to steer reality in the right direction. In the end, his final piece to the puzzle was Gravity Falls - which evidently was also his small-scale practice run thirty years ago, in which he allowed a tiny part of the mindscape to meld within the small town... the part that held a portion of humanity's myths, legends, magic, and imagination.

Dipper and Mabel, along with their small rag-tag team of friends (and a portion of the town who were privy to such information) were able to somehow follow the clues (possibly left behind by Stan's brother - this tidbit may change along with canon) and just barely stop Bill from achieving his ultimate goal.

They saved they world. Melding the mindscape with reality would have at best attained mass chaos and widespread suffering. However, defeating Bill also destroyed the barrier that contained the sliver of the mindscape that was previously withheld only inside Gravity Falls - and thus, the Transcendence took place, spreading it to every corner of the globe.

Directly after the event, Bill Cipher clung to life after receiving the full backlash of the spell he worked thousands of years to complete. Magic of such magnitude that only exists under such excruciatingly specific circumstances could be just enough to kill an otherwise immortal demon.

In a last-ditch effort to save himself, Bill attempted to possess Dipper without a contract. Such a feat was certainly possible, considering he already possessed Dipper's body once before, and had an affinity for it. It was a huge gamble, but it was his only choice.

It didn't work. Dipper fought with every ounce of strength he had, and won. Bill was gone. The demon was dead.

However, Dipper didn't quite get the happy ending he hoped for.

Though Bill's mind had vanished, he left behind all residual energy inside Dipper - which effectively pulled him into the mindscape, and altered his very being. He may have escaped the ordeal with his life, but Dipper was no longer human; he had become an entity like Bill Cipher. A demon.

To everyone but Mabel, Dipper effectively became a ghost. For some reason - possibly due to them being twins - Mabel is able to see, hear, and touch Dipper even while he resides in the mindscape. However, this changes quickly through the years, as Dipper slowly begins to realize his existence isn't just unusual, it's unheard of - and for a good reason.

Among demons, dream demons have the potential to be the most powerful, as dreams are a gateway to the subconscious that can ultimately bend reality. They can control minds, even distort the very world inside the mindscape. So what happens when a dream demon fuses with a being that has a natural affinity for the physical realm...?

As the years progress, Dipper grows more powerful, and starts realizing that he may have inherited some (not all) of Bill's powers, but he's gaining unique ones of his own. He's able to pop into the physical realm at will for short periods of time with his own body, and the duration gets longer and longer as he grows more powerful. Eventually, Dipper will get to a point where he can exist completely in the physical realm at will, with all the abilities Bill would have had in the mindscape.
