In July 2019, Dream figured out the seed of a Minecraft world YouTuber PewDiePie was playing on by using reverse engineering techniques that Dream learned from online forums.

In January 2020, Dream uploaded a video in which he and another YouTuber, GeorgeNotFound, connected an Arduino board to an electric dog collar, which emitted an electric shock whenever a player lost health in Minecraft.{{cite news |author=Livingston |first=Christopher |date=January 13, 2020 |title=Watch this Minecraft player get shocked by a dog collar whenever he takes damage |work=PC Gamer |publisher=Future plc |url=https://www.pcgamer.com/watch-this-minecraft-player-get-shocked-by-a-dog-collar-whenever-he-takes-damage/ |url-status=live |access-date=December 28, 2020 |archive-date=January 6, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210106221541/https://www.pcgamer.com/watch-this-minecraft-player-get-shocked-by-a-dog-collar-whenever-he-takes-damage/ |language=en}}

In December 2020, in place of their annual YouTube Rewind series, YouTube released a list of their top-trending videos and creators.

In a January 2021 article, Steven Asarch of Business Insider attributed Dream's growth during 2019 and 2020 "to his understanding of the YouTube algorithm", noting that "[h]e puts his keywords in the right places, capitalizes on trends, and makes thumbnails that fans want to click on."

Dream is a member of the "Dream Team", along with fellow YouTubers Sapnap and GeorgeNotFound.

The series has received positive acclaim. Urian B. wrote in Tech Times that Minecraft Manhunt "requires not only mastery of the terrain but also the ability to think fast on your feet while different choices present themselves with only milliseconds of time for decision making. This is something that Dream is good at, split second decision making."{{cite web |last=B. |first=Urian |date=October 20, 2020 |title='MinecraftManhunt': How a 'Minecraft' Speedrunner Beat 4 Hunters Just Like YouTuber Dream |url=https://www.techtimes.com/articles/253486/20201020/minecraft-manhunt-how-a-minecraft-speedrunner-beat-4-hunters-like-youtuber-dream-did.htm |access-date=September 7, 2021 |website=Tech Times |language=en |archive-date=October 16, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211016202557/https://www.techtimes.com/articles/253486/20201020/minecraft-manhunt-how-a-minecraft-speedrunner-beat-4-hunters-like-youtuber-dream-did.htm |url-status=live }} Nicolas Perez from Paste described Minecraft Manhunt as "an experience that leaves me slack-jawed every time", stating that the format of Minecraft Manhunt "seems to guarantee the hunters come out on top. But more often than not, Dream pulls just enough aces out of his sleeve to narrowly beat the hunters, and eventually the game." Gonzalo Cardona, writing for Ginx TV, noted that Minecraft Manhunt had "inspired cult-like montages by fans." Nathan Grayson, writing for Kotaku, said that Minecraft Manhunt had turned Dream "into a household name among Minecraft fans."{{cite web |last1=Grayson |first1=Nathan |date=June 1, 2021 |title=Minecraft Megastar Admits To Cheating After Months Of Denial, Death Threats |url=https://kotaku.com/minecraft-megastar-admits-to-cheating-after-months-of-d-1847009623 |access-date=July 2, 2021 |website=Kotaku |language=en-US |archive-date=June 26, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210626182253/https://kotaku.com/minecraft-megastar-admits-to-cheating-after-months-of-d-1847009623 |url-status=live }}

On January 1, 2021, Dream was doxxed. In a tweet on January 7, 2021, he addressed the doxxing and denied accusations made against him by his ex-girlfriend.

In June 2021, Dream was criticized for announcing that all revenue generated by his streams in June would go to charity, with critics claiming he did not stream for more than a single day that month. Dream had streamed multiple times on different platforms during the month of June, including at least four streams on Discord, where he encouraged fans to subscribe and donate to his Twitch channel.{{cite web |last=Masters |first=Tim |date=July 1, 2021 |title=Minecreaft streamer Dream raises $140K for LGBTQ charities |url=https://www.invenglobal.com/articles/14422/minecreaft-streamer-dream-raises-140k-for-lgbtq-charities |website=Inven Global |language=en-US |access-date=May 21, 2022 |archive-date=June 28, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220628183622/https://www.invenglobal.com/articles/14422/minecreaft-streamer-dream-raises-140k-for-lgbtq-charities |url-status=live }}{{cite web |last=Nightingale |first=Ed |date=June 30, 2021 |title=Minecraft streamer Dream raises $140k for LGBT+ charity – but is criticised for not donating more |url=https://www.pinknews.co.uk/2021/07/02/dream-minecraft-twitch-trevor-project |website=PinkNews |language=en-US |access-date=May 21, 2022 |archive-date=May 18, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220518174324/https://www.pinknews.co.uk/2021/07/02/dream-minecraft-twitch-trevor-project/ |url-status=live }} On June 30, 2021, Dream announced that he had donated US$140,000 (US$90,000 from fan contributions and US$50,000 from the Dream Team) to The Trevor Project, an LGBT youth charity.{{cite web |last=Galloway |first=Ryan |date=June 30, 2021 |title=Dream donates $140,000 to LGBTQIA+ charity with proceeds from Pride month streams |url=https://dotesports.com/streaming/news/dream-donates-140000-to-lgbtqia-charity-with-proceeds-from-pride-month-streams |website=Dot Esports |language=en-US |access-date=July 3, 2021 |archive-date=July 11, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210711013653/https://dotesports.com/streaming/news/dream-donates-140000-to-lgbtqia-charity-with-proceeds-from-pride-month-streams |url-status=live }}

In early October 2020, Dream livestreamed himself speedrunning Minecraft, and submitted one of his times to speedrun.com. He was awarded with 5th place at the time in the "1.16+ random seed glitchless" category.{{cite web |last=Hernandez |first=Patricia |date=December 15, 2020 |title=YouTube's big Minecraft cheating scandal, explained |url=https://www.polygon.com/2020/12/15/22176341/minecraft-youtube-dream-speedrun-cheating-mod-world-record-piglin |website=Polygon |publisher=Vox Media |access-date=December 17, 2020 |archive-date=December 15, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201215190445/https://www.polygon.com/2020/12/15/22176341/minecraft-youtube-dream-speedrun-cheating-mod-world-record-piglin |url-status=live |language=en}} Accusations of Dream cheating in these speedruns first arose on October 16, when another Minecraft speedrunner, in now-deleted Twitter posts, reported seeing higher drop rates for key items in one of the speedrunning attempts that Dream submitted. Dream responded on October 29 in now-deleted Twitter posts, arguing that he had no reason to cheat, that he did not possess the coding knowledge to raise drop rates, and that the data was cherry picked.

On December 11, 2020, following a two-month investigation, speedrun.com{{'}}s Minecraft verification team removed his submission from the leaderboards. The team published a report, along with a 14-minute video to YouTube, analyzing six archived livestreams of speedrunning sessions by Dream from around the time of the record. The team concluded that the game had been modified to make the chance of obtaining certain items needed to complete the game higher than normal; they argued the odds of "anyone in the Minecraft speedrunning community would ever get luck comparable to Dream's" was at most 1 in 7.5 trillion.{{cite web |last1=Asarch |first1=Steven |title=Meet Dream, the mysterious Minecraft YouTuber who's one of the fastest-growing creators on the platform |website=Insider |date=January 27, 2021 |url=https://www.insider.com/dream-minecraft-smp-face-youtube-who-is-cheat-speedrun-2021-1 |access-date=February 11, 2021 |language=en |archive-date=March 18, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210318065337/https://www.insider.com/dream-minecraft-smp-face-youtube-who-is-cheat-speedrun-2021-1 |url-status=live }} In response, Dream called the investigation clickbait and claimed that it was flawed enough that some members of speedrun.com{{'}}s moderation team threatened to quit over it. Speedrun.com moderator Geosquare denied the accusation, saying: "All moderators voted unanimously in our decision and no one is threatening to leave in protest", and "From everything we know[,] that [claim] is unsubstantiated or complete hyperbole."

In a YouTube video, Dream maintained that the accusations of his cheating were untrue. In response to the report by speedrun.com, Dream commissioned a report by an anonymous statistician, who Dream claimed was an astrophysicist. They argued that the odds of a Minecraft speedrunner seeing luck comparable to Dream's was 1 in 10 million, instead of the speedrun.com team's 1 in 7.5 trillion.{{Efn|The "1 in 7.5 trillion" figure was reported as the odds of encountering the exact outcomes if one were to replicate the run, whereas the "1 in 10 million" figure refers to the odds that any of the large number of active speedrunners might experience a situation of comparably low likelihood within a certain timeframe.|name=}}{{cite web |last=Orland |first=Kyle |date=June 2, 2021 |title=After months of drama, Minecraft speedrunner Dream admits he used mods |url=https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2021/06/months-later-dream-admits-suspect-minecraft-speedruns-used-illegal-mods/ |access-date=June 21, 2021 |website=Ars Technica |archive-date=July 2, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210702115220/https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2021/06/months-later-dream-admits-suspect-minecraft-speedruns-used-illegal-mods/ |url-status=live }} Dot Esports said that the report did not exonerate him, and "at most" it suggested it was not impossible that he was lucky. The moderation team stood by their ruling and issued a rebuttal to Dream's report.

On May 30, 2021, in a written statement, Dream stated that he had in fact been using a "disallowed modification" that altered item drop probabilities, although he maintained that the addition of the modification was unintentional. According to him, this discrepancy was a result of a change to a client mod written for his YouTube channel. In his statement, he said that the item modifications were changed by the developer of the mod, and said that he was unaware of the addition until February 2021.{{cite web |url=https://www.vice.com/en/article/m7eb74/huge-minecraft-streamer-dream-embroiled-in-bizarre-speedrunning-scandal |title=Huge 'Minecraft' Streamer 'Dream' Embroiled in Bizarre Speedrunning Scandal |first1=Matthew |last1=Gault |date=June 1, 2021 |access-date=June 1, 2021 |work=Vice |archive-date=June 1, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210601202225/https://www.vice.com/en/article/m7eb74/huge-minecraft-streamer-dream-embroiled-in-bizarre-speedrunning-scandal |url-status=live |language=en}} After becoming aware of the addition, he deleted his video response to the speedrun.com moderators. Dream explained that he did not mention his discovery of the addition publicly back then because he "felt like the community had been through enough drama and that it was pointless." He also "didn't want to be the center of controversy for the hundredth time" and that he figured "it would be a story I would tell in a few years when no one really cared."

In a 2021 interview with YouTuber Anthony Padilla, Dream said that he regretted his initial reaction to the cheating scandal, saying that "I handled the situation horribly. When it originally came out, my response was, You guys are idiots, blah blah blah." When asked by Padilla how he thought he should have handled the scandal, Dream said that "I should have shut off all my devices for a couple days and been like, OK, let me not react with emotion."

In January 2025, Dream publicly had a dispute with former Dream SMP member Thomas "TommyInnit" Simons in which he referred to Simons' fanbase as "retarded". Simons released a YouTube video in response condemning Dream's use of the word, adding that his mother "worked with adults with disabilities". Simons further accused Dream and his friends of treating him poorly when he was 16, speaking about women "behind the scenes" in a sexist manner, harassing his mother during a divorce, and having "an inability to accept criticism". Dream made a response video in which he apologized for his use of the word "retarded", stating that he "posted a meme on Twitter that used the r-word and [he] shouldn't have done that". Dream additionally alleged that Simons used child labour in his merchandise and using a "literal editor sweatshop".{{cite news |last1=Cowen |first1=Trace William |title=TommyInnit and Dream Both Speak Out Amid Intense Feud |url=https://www.complex.com/pop-culture/a/tracewilliamcowen/tommyinnit-dream-beef |access-date=January 15, 2025 |work=Complex |date=January 15, 2025 |language=en}} YouTubers JackManifoldTV, Ludwig, and Tubbo spoke out in support of Simons, with Ludwig accusing Dream of further misogynistic behavior.

According to Time magazine, "Dream's anonymity has been one of the most alluring aspects of his persona online and that intrigue, paired with his vibrant personality, have helped him build a loyal following across social media platforms." In a 2021 interview with YouTuber Anthony Padilla, Dream explained that although he never intended to remain anonymous, this aspect of his identity had become too important to his online persona for him to abandon at that time.
