The '''Dreamer family''' is a pre-made family from [[Pleasantview]] in ''[[The Sims 2]]'', as well as [[Lucky Palms]] from ''[[The Sims 3 Store]]''.
 
The family in ''The Sims 2'' consists of aspiring artist [[Darren Dreamer]], and his son, [[Dirk Dreamer|Dirk]]. Darren and Dirk live at [[195 Main Street]] in [[Pleasantview]]. Darren's wife [[Darleen Dreamer|Darleen]] is deceased, and her grave is on their lot.
'''Darleen Dreamer''' -- A slang-like term for "Daring" From combination of darling and popular name suffix -leen.
 
The family is low on money, with only §968 in funds, and three sets of overdue [[bill]]s to pay. Also, Darren wants to win [[Cassandra Goth]]'s heart and get married to her, but is [[Don Lothario]] standing in his way?
'''Dirk Dreamer''' -- a type of dagger.
 
Both sets of overdue bills are white, which is not possible in normal gameplay. The family should have enough funds to pay them right away, but that will take a large portion of its available funds.
There is no relation at all to the etymology of the Dreamers, except for the surname. The only interesting bit is that all of the names start with the letter "D". To follow that, there would be a limited choice of the names they could be, and an even more limited choice of etymology references. It is also interesting to note that Darren's name can be twisted to mean, 'great dreamer.'
 
In ''The Sims 3'', the family consists of [[Darren Dreamer|Darren]] who currently lives alone in [[Lucky Palms]]. He is quite well known in-town, being somewhat rich with §20,000 in household funds (compared to only §968 in ''The Sims 2''), as well as being a celebrity. Darren is currently dating his to-be wife, [[Darleen Dreamer|Darleen]], who is currently living with her parents.
'''Davis Dreamer''' (Darren's father) -- Deriving from David, meaning beloved
 
This family has a theme of having names with the initials D.D., even among most of the ancestors.
'''Delilah Dreamer''' (Darren's mother) -- Means "delicate"
