Dream SMP books/Lore books/Memory Books

The Memory Books are unsigned books owned and written by Ranboo. Due to his short-term memory loss, he writes down events, locations, and loyalties in these books to help him remember them.

Due to his flimsy alliances between L'Manberg and Philza, he originally had two books: one named Do not read that held his "actual morals," and another named Memory Book that had fake events that made him seem as if he was still loyal to L'Manberg. The fake book was burned due to Skeppy's sister killing Ranboo with lava on December 26, 2020, but was later rewritten.

Before the Green Festival, "Do not read" #1 was acquired by Dream and replaced with another book of the same name ("Do not read" #2). Tubbo, Quackity, and Technoblade were briefly in possession of "Do not read" #1, with Techno eventually returning it to Ranboo during Doomsday. Despite this, Ranboo continued to use "Do not read" #2 as his main memory book. He used this book until January 20, 2021, when he found yet another "Do not read" book inside his panic room chest ("Do not read" #3), signifying the start of a new era for him. He has been using "Do not read" #3 as his main one since.

In addition to the three "Do not read" books, there is also a fourth memory book that Ranboo's enderwalk state used to write down his conversation with Dream in the prison as well as a series of Lessons. This book is currently in a location unknown to Ranboo. It is important for Ranboo to find, as it has evidence that he has worked with Dream throughout his time on the server, and Ranboo could be locked in the prison if someone else read it.

The books have some connection to Ranboo's mental state. This is shown on the first pages of the second and third "Do not read" books, which occasionally change to reflect actions he has committed, often using Dream's iconic ":)" smile. When these edits first occurred, Ranboo was unable to edit or erase the text; he was only able to erase the page after "freeing" himself from the Dream voice (although the text still reappeared later).
