However, I think that the present is the best decade by far.
It can be good to take a minute out of our busy days to simply acknowledge and appreciate how good we have it. Of all the time periods that we could have been born into, I think that this one is the best by far. People often like to get nostalgic over eras that they have never experienced. When asked the question, "if you could have been born in any decade, which would you choose?" it is very common for people to say the 50s or the 60s, often based on a sort of elegance and bygone charm and fashion associated with those years. However, I think that the present is the best decade by far.
Many people do not take into account what the reality of living in the 50s or 60s would entail. This was still a time when sexism and racism were heavily steeped in society, and they did not contain any of the creature comforts we take for granted today. This is not to say that racism and sexism have disappeared; we are all aware of this. But these issues have definitely improved over the years.
Many people who desire to live during the 50s and 60s are also addicted to social media and other modern conveniences. For example, imagine if you could not have Amazon, Netflix, Hulu, or Prime Video. We really do have it good now, and I don't think you could pay me enough to travel back much before the turn of the century.
I have immediate access to basically any TV show or movie nowadays, as all of them are just a couple clicks or taps away. In fact, most of us enjoy this luxury. Even if you do not have your own login info for anyone (or multiple) of the big streaming platforms - Hulu, Netflix, Disney Plus, Amazon Prime Video, HBO (Go, Max, or Now) - well, chances are that you know somebody who does and who is willing to share it with you.
Even if you have only one account for one of these entertainment sites, you can still enjoy hours of binge-worthy entertainment. But, even if you have accounts for all of these sites, there will be moments where the show or movie that you're looking for isn't available. However, there is a solution: online free streaming. If you really want to watch something for free, there is a way to find it.
In general, if you are looking for a resource to stream high-quality content, you can generally find it by searching for it. However, if you want someone to help you find the best resources, I am here to assist. After years of researching streaming sites online, I have compiled a list of reliable and free resources that will suit your needs. So if you are looking for a convenient and hassle-free way to watch movies online, I would recommend consulting my list.
If you have ever searched for sites like this on your own, then you are already aware of the fact that these sorts of sites can be hit or miss. Because of copyright laws, as well as an unfortunate abundance of malicious streaming sites, finding a solid resource of free television and movie streaming can be a grueling (and potentially even dangerous) task.
That being said, it is always wise to arm yourself with a decent ad blocker, antivirus program, and VPN in order to protect yourself from the dangers that can come with visiting certain websites. Some of these sites, as you may already know, can be filled with trackers, ads, and viruses. So it's always best to be safe than sorry. However, I will do my best not to steer you wrong - my reviews will always warn of any potential dangers, and I try to avoid sites that don't seem reputable or risky in any way.
Which brings us to the streaming site that we will be looking at today: Stream Dreams. As far as streaming sites for TV and movies are concerned, Stream Dreams may not be the well-known or popular of the bunch, but it is seems to be a dependable and safe way to find just about anything you could possibly be looking for. So, without further ado, let's dive in and see if Stream Dreams is worth becoming your new go-to free movie streaming site, shall we?
History
A great deal of these sorts of websites are, by necessity, discrete. Of course, on the one hand, they want to become popular enough so that people can learn about them and make use of them, but they also do not want to become so popular that they catch the attention of federal agencies who may be looking to shut them down. Although Stream Dreams has never hosted its own content (instead, it links to other sources for its content), there are plenty of entities out there that would gladly shut it down, as it often features links to bootleg copies of brand-new movies, many of which are still in theaters.
Thus, these sites are not always easy to find. Many of them do, in fact, eventually get shut down (like Putlocker, for example). So, in order to ensure that you always have a free movie streaming site on hand, you need to stay up-to-date on which sites are still operational. And Stream Dreams has been for some years now (at least since 2016).
Design
I am frankly torn on how I feel about the Stream Dreams website design. On the one hand, it is easy to navigate and find whatever it is that you are looking for. But, on the other hand, I think it could look better. Parts of it look rather unprofessional, with randomly colored text links on the side of the page.
Generally speaking, Stream Dreams' website looks much better than the majority of the websites it competes with. You'll find a list of featured films at the top of the page, as well as a few on the main section of the home page, chronicling the Recently Featured items, letting you stay up to date with the latest that Stream Dreams has to offer. The website is free, though, so I suppose we should temper our expectations of design.
Content
As I have already mentioned, Stream Dreams features links to just about any movie or TV show you can imagine. Clicking on an item brings you to its own specific page. Here, you will find links to trailers, as well as several sites that host the stream. So, it depends entirely on the site that you click into whether the content is good or not. Generally speaking, though, the links tend to work. However, you'll probably have to click around a bit to familiarize yourself with which sites tend to serve your needs better than others.
Mobile and Desktop Experience
Unfortunately, as is often the case with sites like this, Stream Dreams does not have an app. So, the mobile experience will have to occur within your browser app of choice. That being said, on phones and tablets, you will have to contend with a lot of ads. So many that they make browsing the site very difficult, to be honest. In the future, I would love to see Stream Dreams either develop an app or optimize their mobile site more for easy viewing on phones and tablets.
Pricing and Plans
Aside from viewing ads, Stream Dreams is completely free to use. You can view any link without registering or paying a fee. There is no premium version of the site either, as the content is largely not on the site itself.
Suggestions that I have for Stream Dreams
I want Stream Dreams to improve their own content streaming process. If they ever decide to host the content themselves, providing a premium version of the site would be a great improvement; it would make the user experience much better, and users wouldn't have to click into potentially sketchy third-party sites.
