''[[YU+ME: dream]]'' is a webcomic by Megan Rose Gedris and can be found [http://rosalarian.com/yume/ here]. It concluded in 2010.
 
The fact that nobody wants to give away the plot means that you might prefer to start from [http://rosalarian.com/yume/?p=1 Strip 1] just to be on the safe side. The normal text/hidden text ratio on this whole article really says everything; it may start slow, but then [[Wham! Episode|WHAM!]] Spoilers that nobody dares give away.

Things just aren't going well for Fiona. She has a [[Missing Mom|dead mom]], a father who is always on business, a [[Wicked Stepmother]], no friends at the Catholic high school, and none of the nuns believe that she's being picked on by [[Alpha Bitch|Sarah and Cass]]. So she begins to not pay any attention to anything around her, instead living in her own head in vivid, lucid dreams.
 
Line 11 ⟶ 10:
Up until the end of issue 9, readers thought this was a case of [[Schoolgirl Lesbians]] living in [[Teen Drama]]. Issue 9 dropped a TON of [[Drama Bomb|drama bombs]].
