"It looks crazy": Fans concerned as Dream opens up about "massive swelling bump" on his elbow

YouTuber and prominent Minecraft personality Clay "Dream" has left the online community concerned after opening up about his health. On May 19, 2025, the content creator took to his alternate X account, @dreamwastaken, to claim that he had a "massive swelling bump" on his elbow.

Speculating that he had been bitten by a spider or something else, the Florida native wrote:

"I have a massive swelling bump on my elbow I think I was bit by a spider or something"

In response, X user @kstandox suggested that the Twitch streamer draw a circle around the swelling and go to the ER if it gets bigger. Dream replied by saying he was going to the clinic, adding that he was "feeling fine":

"(X user @kstandox writes, 'Draw a circle around it if it gets bigger go to the ER') it has I’m going to a clinic but I feel fine"

Approximately four hours later, the 25-year-old shared two pictures of his right elbow in an X post captioned, "should I be worried chat," displaying significant swelling and redness.

Over 638 fans shared their thoughts on the situation, with X user @IdolEyes99Fan asking Clay if his elbow had improved or worsened since his observation:

"Does it hurt at all? And is it getting any better or worse? It looks crazy" X user @IdolEyes99Fan wrote.

Several community members urged Dream to seek professional medical help:

"that is a whole a** lump, my dude. get help. 😭" X user @Hplss_Drmr remarked.

"No don't worry! People sometimes get this on their elbow when they hit it or lean on it too much. But go to a doctor, just in case!" X user @NotLunarLunaVT commented.

"That’s literally a LUMP… yes you should 😭💔" X user @GalaticCosmos tweeted.
