The Som

The Som is an online community and platform created by April May, Miranda Beckwith and Andy Skampt with the help of Jason and other programmers to solve the Dream. Contributions, input and insight by Maya made sure it served its function. The Som also functions as a tech start-up, of which Miranda was the CEO.

In the beginning, April and Andy had to support the Som financially, but eventually, around June 6, Miranda added a premium subscription tier with $5/month. Popilarity of the Som was aided by mentioned in April's videos. Including members of the original Sequence solving community like solidified its credibility and its place as the central hub for Dreamers. Previously, millions of people in the Dreamer community and their crowdsharing of solutions, skills, attempts, theories and more were scattered across the internet and different platforms. It seems to have significantly outperformed Peter Petrawicki's restrictive attempts to crowd-source the Sequences.

Due to the international nature of the Dream and its puzzles, the Som supports over 20 languages. After all except the last sequence was solved, its popularity keeped growing as people were re-running sequences.

Pages on the Som can be set to be edited by any user. This led to the code for the 767 Sequence to be manipulated by a group of Defenders.

After the Dream
After the Dream ceased to exist, the Som now continues to exist as a social media platform for mysteries, attracting conspiracy theories. However, spread of anti-April conspiracies are not tolerated. Miranda is no longer involved in the Som. Crowdsourcing information for journalism and reality games try to replace the Dream.
