Line 1: {{work}} [[File:Dreamer_Pinup_Colors2_by_comic_chic_9379.png\|frame]] {{quote\| ''Adventure, Romance, War. 1776 is back.''}} Beatrice “Bea” Whaley seems to have it all; the seventeen -year -old high school senior is beautiful, wealthy and the star performer of the drama club. And with her uncle’s connections to Broadway theater, the future looks bright ahead of her. Little does she know that her future might actually be brighter behind her. Bea begins having vivid dreams about a brave and handsome soldier named Alan Warren -- a member of an elite group known as Knowlton’s Rangers that served during the Revolutionary War. Prone to keeping her head in the clouds, Bea welcomes her nightly adventures in 1776; filled with danger and romance they give her much to muse about the next day. But it is not long before Beatrice questions whether her dreams are simply dreams or something more. Each night they pick up exactly where the last one ended. And the senses--the smell of musket shots and cannons, the screams of soldiers in agony, and that kiss--are all far more real than any dream she can remember. Bea begins to research Colonial America only to discover that her dreams recount actual historical events that she knew nothing about! She grows increasingly detached from her friends and family as she tries desperately to figure out what is happening to her... You can go read it here [http://thedreamercomic.com/ on the official site]. ---- {{tropelist}} ~~=== Provides Examples Of: ===~~ * [[A Day in ~~The~~the Limelight]]: The short stories are usually written as these, with two of the three revolving around Nathan and Freddy, respectively. * [[Arcadia]]: 18th century Roxbury, MA definitely fits the bill. * [[Aerith and Bob]]: Bea's Uncle Hercules and her mother Sarah. Line 33: * [[Big Fancy House]] * [[Big No]]: Bea in issue #4. * [[Bilingual Bonus]]: In the beginning of Issue #12, Benjamin Tallmadge says to Nathan Hale in Latin,<ref>The punishment for unexcused absence is five days of college probation and a public admonition. '''Ten''' for Linonian rogues.</ref> * [[Blonde, Brunette, Redhead]]: With Alan as the blond, Bea the brunette, and Alexander the redhead. * [[Bloodless Carnage]]: averted. Line 53: * [[Dating What Daddy Hates]]: Beatrice and Alan's relationship. * [[Definitely Just a Cold]]: Alan's cough. * [[~~Distressed~~ Damsel in Distress]]: Bea tends to be this. * [[Double Entendre]]: "I remember taking my turn with you more than once that evening." * [[Downer Ending]]: See the [[Bolivian Army Ending]] trope above. * [[Drama Club]]: Bea and Ben are part of it. * [[Dream Land]] * [[Dressing Asas the Enemy]]: Alan does this in the first issue to rescue Bea. * [[Elites Are More Glamorous]]: Well, the comic does focus on ''Knowlton's Rangers''. * [[Escape Convenient Boat]]: Alan and Bea use this when escaping from the ship holding Bea captive in issue #1. Line 76: * [[Form-Fitting Wardrobe]]: The clothes in the 18th - century basically are this. * [[Genius Book Club]]: Nathan is often seen reading the play ''Cato'' which also acts as a [[Genius Bonus]] for those who know that his historical counterpart's famous quote is sometimes attributed as being based on a part of the play. * [[Gentleman and Aa Scholar]]: Played straight with Nathan Hale. * [[Genre Roulette]]: The comic jumps from historical fiction to YA lit in a matter of pages. * [[Genre Savvy]]: There are moments when the characters display this. * [[Good -Looking Privates]]: ''Just look at them.'' * [[Gorgeous Period Dress]]: Well ''duh.'' * [[Green Eyes]]: Bea has these. Line 120: * [[Official Couple]]: Alan/Bea, obviously. * [[One Steve Limit]]: There are two Benjamins in the series: one in the 21st century, the other in the 18th century. * [[Perma -Stubble]]: Col. Knowlton has one. * [[Recurring Dreams]] * [[Redheaded Hero]]: Alexander Hamilton has red hair. Line 141: * [[Webcomic Time]]: Issues where it takes place in one day feel like months, especially since it only updates on Fridays. * [[Wham! Line]] {{quote\| '''Nathan:''' Ever since I enlisted, I've been waiting for the chance to be useful. {{spoiler\|'''''So I'll do it.''''' Colonel Knowlton, tell General Washington that I am his man.}} }} * [[Where Da White Women At?]]? Ben Cato and Beatrice are in a relationship. * [[Wig, Dress, Accent]]: In issue #9, Alan, Alex, Bea and Nathan go in cognito. * [[Wife Husbandry]]: Alan does this with Bea, which of course is rather squicky to say the least. Also a [[Values Dissonance]] with the readers. To us, it looks weird, but back then, it was perfectly normal. * [[Willing Suspension of Disbelief]]: A discussed trope. {{quote\| '''Ben''': It's just you and the audience - hundreds of people - and you've got just one chance, ''just once chance,'' to convince them that it's real. There's a magic moment where you can make them believe ''anything'' because they already want to. They're there and ready and you just have to take them the ''rest of the way.''}} * [[Working Through the Cold]]: Alan does this through the majority of the series. * [[Young Future Famous People]]: A young Alexander Hamilton is featured in the comic.
