Dream,most known for hisMinecraftvideos, uploaded a video titled “hi, I’m Dream.” around 9 pm Eastern on Sunday. Along with his cat Patches, Dream teased viewers for several minutes, showing off the studio where he uploads. Dream’s studio included his bed, his plaque from the Guinness Book of World Records, and other fun pieces of memorabilia. On Twitter, #DreamFaceReveal had been trending for days, with users predicting (although mostly in jest) what the YouTuber actually looks like. One minute and 18 seconds into the video, Dream finally made the big reveal. Dream also revealed that his real name is Clay, and the short video quickly went viral, reaching over 300,000 likes in less than 10 minutes.
Dream is one of the pillars of YouTubeand noted that the reason he hyped up the big reveal and finally showed his face was that his friend George was moving into his house and their video would wind up showing Dream anyway. It was best to “rip off the Band-Aid,” according to Dream. He had spent the past few days showing his face to his online friends for the first time, showing that even those closest to him weren’t quite sure what Dream looked like until this week.
Dream stated that he’s going to continue to make content similar to what he’s already been doing for years. The only real difference on his channel will be more IRL content where fans actually see him in person. For hisMinecraftvideos, Dream says that he doesn’t plan on using a camera, and hispotential Twitch careeris up in the air.
The big boost for Dream’s channel came back in 2019 after being a smaller YouTuber for five years. Some of that audience came from his (now controversial)Minecraftspeed runs. The larger his audience became, the more that people were asking to see Dream’s face. He took the time to thank those fans in his face reveal video, as well. Whether the mystery of Dream’s appearance being gone helps or hinders his channel remains to be seen, but one thing is for sure and it’s that Dream has a massive appeal to be able to garner that type of social media attention simply for showing his face.
