How does the world work? Well, some people are strong, powerful, smart, or manipulative. Some are even all 4! People who can be on top stay on top and they use their gifts to get them there. But some people aren't strong. Some people are weak. Some people are naive or are less than smart. And some, well some are all 4. These people are at the mercy of the world and rarely, if ever, get even a chance to climb to the top. And that is simply how the world works.
Now, if enough people band together, they can overthrow those who have the monopoly on power. This happened in the final disc war. But what if it hadn't?
Dream had the teens cornered but in this world, no reinforcements arrived. So dream won. And that is simply how the world works.
Ok. It's dsmp. Anything already in it may or may not appear in this fic. And if it does, it will be dramatized.
This includes self harm, suicide, attempted suicide, drugs, murder, abuse in all forms, gaslighting, starvation, beatings, gore, imprisonment, torture, depression, dark thoughts, dark subjects, non bbh approved language, spoilers for the (early) dsmp, and more.
I'm not putting tw in the actual chapters themselves because A) I will definitely forget one at some point and B) it's a huge spoiler to do so. But these themes are throughout the story. You have been warned.
Not saying anything about the content creators, just the characters. Not suggesting that irl dream should go traumatize children or anything.
Unlike my other fics, this ones language will not be bbh approved. I am ashamed of this but the story doesn't work since we'll when a death threat haste word heck in it.

(I created a Spotify playlist for this book, it's on my account which is Golden Dragon7 and has the same profile pic as me. The playlist is called A Nightmare Or A Dream.)
A world where people move between servers when they restart. Where will Sam get put once the server he's found refuge on for the past week restarts? A door with mysteries laying behind it.

Is it A Nightmare Or A Dream?
