I’m afraid that the theme creator uses one of those awful generic selling templates to advertise the theme, which put me right off straight away. He really should have just used the theme to advertise itself. I only persevered with it for you, dear readers.

The WordPress Dream Theme was developed by Ben Cope, the Internet Genius as a magazine-style theme. It offers a option page for making changes without tweaking code, and the usual home page featured post functionality.

His price includes an hour of customization, but if you don’t mind customizing your theme yourself you could save $147 by buying Brian Gardner’s Revolution Magazine, or indeed many of the other magazine themes. It’s too bad that there isn’t an option to purchase the theme without the customization option for a cheaper price.

On the other hand, by purchasing the theme you’re guaranteed an individual interaction with the theme’s creator, and the higher cost will limit the number of other people using the theme, which definitely makes for a premium experience.
