The Paradox of Dream's Powers & Positivity

There's something very interesting about Dream's powers and internal struggle that I've been aware of for years but never had a chance to properly talk about. There's this paradox that occurs when taking into consideration how Dream experiences his powers and emotions after eating the apple, and it's a paradox of his positivity itself.

Dream is the protector of positivity. It is his goal above all others to protect that and help others be happier around him.

Dream has two very unique powers that shape how he interacts with people. Empathy and a positive aura. On top of this, he gains power the more positive the people around him are, which means the more positive his surroundings become, the more powerful his aura becomes, and the more positive he feels.

This aura, as I've discussed before, is something Dream is not entirely fond of, and something that often causes more problems than good. People become overly attached to, or even obsessed with his aura should he stay near them for too long. If he tries to leave, as he must travel to other universe to continue spreading positivity, people often become jealous, or upset. Negative. Which makes Dream fearful of people growing too attached to him, and conscious of his ability to spread unintentional negativity by merely existing near people, and even more so when he's genuinely happy near people.

Suddenly, we see this limit, in which, should Dream let himself become too happy, his positivity starts to turn things negative around him, and because Dream is an empath, it means he will feel this negativity, and become negative again. Thus, a paradox has formed. One in which his own positivity will ultimately bring about negativity, and the threat of that happening prevents him from being positive.

While I know this doesn't change how Dream outwardly acts, as he's been told his entire life he's supposed to be positive for everyone, and puts on a smile even if it's not real to try to help others smile too, I think these powers create a secondary internal conflict of 'but maybe I should never let myself become too positive because it makes other people upset and that's not something I want to happen'.

An eternal divide of: I need to be precieved as positive for everyone else to help them

But I can never let myself actually become too happy lest I hurt them.

And, because Dream is an empath, the happier people around him become, the happier he does as well.

This would mean Dream is stuck in a position where faking a smile but remaining neutral, or unable to be happy himself, is the best position in which he can continue to help people, despite helping people being a direct way to make him feel happier. And, whenever he becomes too happy, his mind will begin to fear the possibility of making people negative, meaning he either has to internally prevent himself from being too positive, or seperate himself from others when this happens, which would ultimately result in the same outcome.

He has no way of preventing people from feeling things, and no way to prevent these powers from constantly occuring, but an intense desire to help others anyways, meaning he constantly prioritizes others happiness over his own, even when given the ability to be happy himself.

Dream is the ultimate paradox of positivity. His powers of positivity force him to rarely be positive at all. 

If only they had talked about everything. Maybe they’d find another way.

Peaceful Unrest

I wrote something Nightink/Inkmare/Vantablack, finally! Another thing to check off my bucket list!

Because of all this freaking humidity, there’s been a lot of nice days, but thunderstorms at night. And, honestly, I love the nighttime storms more than the nice days! (please don’t kill me—)

So it inspired me to write about this lovely ship! This is way longer than I thought it would be, so it may have some weird things here and there. But overall, I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it!

Word count:

Oh, also, important note: This one-shot is with Uncorrupted!Nightmare, just to avoid any confusion.
