The We're all just Dreaming of Sunshine Discord server is a discord server focused on the Naruto fanfiction Dreaming of Sunshine by Silver Queen and its related fandom of recursive fanworks. The server features both discussion focused on Dreaming of Sunshine and off-topic channels, and is the most active part of the fandom.

The WAJDOS server was started on October 4th, 2017 by Jalinth.[1]

Initially the server was very much connected to the fanfiction.net forum that spawned it, We're all just Dreaming of Sunshine, but has moved away from the forum since its creation, possibly in part because the forum admin, Fell's Apprentice, was possibly banned from the server[2] or else just because the fanfiction.net forums are considered frustrating and somewhat precarious.[3]

It's likely that the podcast Sunshine Symposium was organized in whole or in part through the WAJDOS server. The first round of the Dreaming of Sunshine Exchange was partially hosted on WAJDOS, but the exchange mod wafflelate left the server between work reveals and author reveals, so much of the exchange activity moved to Heliocentric.[4]
