Tales from the SMP, hosted by Karl Jacobs, is one of the most interesting aspects of the lore of the Dream SMP - with places like the In Between and the Other Side, and people like Ranboo, Dream, and Wilbur Soot involved.

Watch for a Dream SMP lore theory / Dream SMP analysis, and a Tales From The SMP Theory!

    So, what are your thoughts? If you enjoyed, consider tagging Karl with this video on twitter ?? :D thanks!!
  • @KittyandLychee
    When I think Karl, I do think Purple, but when I think Purple, I think Purpled
  • @Uniklops
    What if purpled himself was a time traveler gone missing, and his spaceship was a sign all along.
  • @jabbiter3575
    this is how the dreamsmp could be connected to this whole story. hear me out! the people who control the in-between were searching for an alternative way to time travel and created the egg. they thought it had entirely failed and it was lost in time, buried. members of the dreamsmp then uncovered the egg and it began to grow, with people like bbh and skeppy siding with it. the in-between is concerned by this and approaches dream, offering him a bargain. Dream is to destroy the egg, and in return Dream will be given a portion of the in-between's power once the egg is gone. maybe dream will fail, the egg will grow, and spread to all different timelines, and that's why we see it in all of the tales from the smp.

    Can we just take a moment to appreciate how good those builds are?
  • Remember that in the pure-looking in between, there is a wither rose in the flower pots. In the other side, there’s a much healthier flower in an otherwise more withered setting. I think this is meant to symbolize the Yin and Yang symbol. There is a dot of white in the black side, and vice versa for the symbol, a little good in every evil. And a little evil in every good. Perhaps that has something to do with the truth of the In Between/Other Side.
  • @kspeight2969
    You say that the Other Side is controlled by the egg but I think that it might be the other way around. The egg is controlled by the other side. There are eggs in each timeline that act as scouts for the Other Side.

    remember when this server was just about a child losing his possessions and hamilton? yeah me neither
  • @jabbiter3575
    there's alot of people here talking about purpled but just remember purpled isn't a very big character in the lore and his purple color scheme probably had nothing to do with time travel.
  • @charybdis7958
    I'm actually still convinced Ranboo has a part into this, (black and white although that's probably not important)and the color symbolism with Ghostbur didn't have a clear explanation. Itt still doesn't just match up for me. Most importantly, I'm also convinced the flowers (wither rose for the Inbetween, pink flower for the Other Side) have some meaning. Well- since this comment is "gaining attraction" I may as well add: Ranboo clearly has some connection to Karl/time traveling/the Inbetween and Other Side. We see this with how Ran keeps staring at Karl, Ranbutler likes clocks (karl's symbol) and how ranboo's arg post on twitter seems to hint at clocks and time itself a lot. and has karl's logo on one of the things. huh
  • @zianeovo5547
    Honestly, I think the person writing the books is some version of Karl, like maybe this Karl is either writing down these books as he continues to lose more and more of his memories preserving them and just forgetting about their existence, leaving them where our Karl is finding them or this other Karl (or it could be more than one idk time is a messy thing) is trying to lead our Karl to break the cycle of aimlessly wandering around the Inbetween and losing memories.
  • @neeleep
    quackity is power hungry and in some of the books there's his signature :] face, makes sense how the in between would be taking karl's power
  • I didnt even consider the egg but the evidence you have gathered has convinced me! This is the tying together of storylines we are waiting for! I am so excited for it!
  • I also have a theory that is kinda crazy but has slight evidence, and mostly speculation. DreamXD is a God, who made Ranboo and Dream in his image. Ranboo was a failed expirment of DreamXD, that left where he was being held. He was imperfect considering his memory problems. Dream was a perfect version of Ranboo. He was put on the world with other life forms to find Ranboo. This explains why Dream torments Ranboo. If he was made in dreamXD's image, he would have some sort of power (revival book and the telepathy to talk to Ranboo in his head) and he would feel the need of having more and more power and showing he is more than everyone else. This is why he killed tommy, to prove a point. Why he fought L'Manburg, to prove he was stronger. His line to tommy before killing him may be foreshadowing to him being related to DreamXD "Does that make me some kind of God, Tommy? Am I God?" You could easily see this as him being cocky, but with my theory, it makes a lot of stuff make sense.

    8:02 “LOOK UNDER THE TREE” Page 1 of 1 You’re welcome.
  • I just thought of something that really supports apart if this awesome theory: Ghostbur said that the it's "blue" wasn't always blue. But that when he passes it on to sad people it sucks the blue out of them (aka sadness) It calms them or makes them happy. And on the other side of the spectrum you have the crimson egg. That sucks the red out of things and people and makes them upset or in tubbo's case sad. They directly parallel each other to. This theory is actually so cool and it makes me so happy that karl is honestly carrying the smp lore wise. Also i would like to add onto this theory with a bit that pretty much wasn't cannon but could be become cannon or just be a head cannon. The Dreamon hunters Dream is a god like entity on the server that is known for his smiley face. And the in between is a mysterious omnipotent being that overlooks a place beyond the concept of time that is also known for using smiley faces. Super natural god like forces that are known for using smiley faces and are directly connected to the egg in some way? sounds like a dreamon to me My theory is that when dreamons aka beings from the in between started to surface in the present, the egg felt threatened and when fundy misleadingly told bad to make a dreamon hunter base the egg tried mind controlling bad and that's why he kept digging out the room for so long despite Fundy telling him they didn't need it anymore. Which obviously leads to bad finding the egg and the rest is history. In conclusion i think that dreamons are entities from alternate dimensions like the in between and the other side that thrive off of knowledge like you proposed. And maybe dreamons appearing in the main timeline's present day is proof that a karl or hell maybe another traveler provided the in between with knowledge on how to reach our time period. And maybe their will be another dreamon out break and they try to fight the egg and they'll hatch the egg and someone or something will come out.... ok this is my last thing it's completely speculation and is just something I'd like to see but what if the :] isn't really referring to dream because if it was it would be this :) and instead the egg will hatch a new player the king of dreamons and another smiley-faced content creator. One that's smiley face is more reminiscent of the in between smiley face rather than dream's. I'm saying what if the egg hatched fruitberries. Ik there's little to no evidence for the fruitberries thing it was just a fun little idea that i came up with and wanted to share
  • Theory: We have similar powers to Karl in Ani’s Dream SMP game as we can go back and choose different videos to go to alternate universes made by our choices. The only difference for us is that YouTube acts as our in between
  • @na.meless.
    I always thought the white colour theme of the inbetween was meant to suggest innocence and purity, but this also makes sense-
  • @R4TCH3TRAVITY
    Okay so, what I'm getting from the part where you said "Once the egg is gone, the inbetweeners have all the power in itself to keep all the travelers." what I'm getting from that is, the people in the actual SMP.. are the inbetweeners. Cause after watching this, it makes sense that the egg has SOMETHING to do with the inbewteen-
