Dream to headline VidCon Anaheim as Featured Creator after internet-breaking face reveal Instagram: dreamwastakenMinecraft star Dream is taking over VidCon Anaheim as a Featured Creator, marking one of his first major appearances since showing his face last year. We got the chance to speak to Dream about VidCon and life after his face reveal. Dream is one of the internet\u2019s most prominent Minecraft content creators. Boasting over 31 million YouTube subscribers and 6.4 million followers on Twitch, Dream is best known for his wildly creative Minecraft videos and collaborations with other YouTubers in his \u2018Dream SMP\u2019 server. Up until last year, Dream was a \u2018faceless\u2019 influencer, who hid his mug beneath a mask and used fanart in his profile pictures. However, in a shocking turn of events, Dream decided to pull off the mask in late 2022, sparking one of the most viral moments in online history. Now, he\u2019s slated to headline VidCon Anaheim as a Featured Creator this June, where he\u2019ll have an exclusive merch booth for fans to show their support. For Dream, meeting fans is more fun than ever We got the chance to speak with Dream about attending VidCon, one of his first major appearances since his big face reveal last year. Despite making a huge change to his image, Dream is more than excited to meet his fans in person and thoroughly enjoys having a public presence. \u201cI get to meet my fans! This is awesome,\u201d he told us. \u201cNot just my fans, but other creators and stuff. It brings everyone together and everyone\u2019s in the same area and gets to hang out and at least say hi. It\u2019s super exciting. From my perspective, there\u2019s not really too much to stress over. The only thing would be like, \u2018Oh god, I hope my haircut I get before I go is not gonna be butchered or something.\u2019 That\u2019s pretty much the only thing I\u2019d have to worry about. Otherwise, it\u2019s totally exciting and I\u2019m always very excited to meet fans and friends.\u201d \u201cWe\u2019re gonna do some cool stuff [at VidCon,]\u201d he added. \u201cWe have a lot of plans. We\u2019re still mostly in the planning stages for that, but there\u2019s gonna be some cool stuff. Probably some exclusive merch and some cool, creative Dream and Dream Team related stuff there for fans to check out and take pictures with.\u201d In fact, Dream says he can hardly go outside without being approached by someone \u2014 but it doesn\u2019t bother him. In fact, he recounted a heartwarming story about meeting one of his young fans while getting breakfast. \u201cThe other day, actually, I went out to get breakfast alone, and there was a mom, a dad, and their son \u2014 I think he was twelve. I could tell he recognized me, because he did a double take whenever I walked in. But I wasn\u2019t 100% sure. I was like, \u2018Ah, he probably did.\u2019 Until the dad eventually yelled out, \u2018Dream,\u2019 to see if I would look over in their direction. So, I did, and they asked for a photo.\u201d \u201cI said sure, but I went over and I was like, \u2018I know I just gave you a hug, but can I join you for breakfast?\u2019 And I literally sat there and ate breakfast with them. We chatted for 45 minutes \u2014 he was there for Spring Break in Orlando. I love interacting with fans. I love people, in general. That\u2019s the biggest reason why I feel I\u2019ve been successful on YouTube, or at least one of them. I love people. I love how people think. I love just talking to people and interacting with people.\u201d Dream wouldn\u2019t change a thing about his face reveal Overall, Dream has a thoroughly positive outlook on his face reveal \u2014 even though there was some backlash to the ordeal. The creator says he wouldn\u2019t change a thing about how he showed off his mug to the world, and even found one of his \u2018faux pas\u2019 quite funny. \u201cThe only thing that I\u2019d go back and change \u2014 and I\u2019m not even 100% that I\u2019d go back and change it, because I think it\u2019s funny \u2014 I\u2019d never done a facecam video before. So, when I\u2019m setting up my facecam and Googling, you know, what you should set up, it\u2019s like, \u2018Make sure you encapsulate what you think are your good angles.\u2019 I might have went a little too ham on that. I might have had too much of an angle the entire video, which created a lot of funny jokes and memes and stuff about how I\u2019m a crescent moon. I thought it was hilarious. I don\u2019t know that I\u2019d change it, because it ended up being funny.\u201d \u201cThe transition was pretty easy. Maybe I would have been more stressed if it wasn\u2019t for the fact there was so much positivity \u2014 even being able to just meet my friends. I could be able to see fans and make more content. Just seeing my friends\u2026 the joy and the excitement for that overrode any of the negatives.\u201d Dream gives advice to other faceless creators Dream isn\u2019t the only faceless creator out there. In fact, one of the most prominent influencers on the net is Corpse Husband, who uses fanart to represent himself online. When asked for his advice to other faceless creators, Dream had one solid tip: \u201cI feel like, honestly, it\u2019s such a niche. It\u2019s definitely getting more and more common for people to be faceless creators, but it\u2019s such a niche thing. I have my experience, but my experience is just one. I only had one go at it. I\u2019m sure there\u2019s tons of things I could have done differently or strategized for.\u201d \u201cI don\u2019t know what my advice would be. It\u2019s kinda, you know, be yourself. Just know that you do have the option of revealing your face if you want to. Just do what you want to do, and don\u2019t rely too much on the opinions of other people.\u201d For now, Dream himself is focused on getting back into content creation after taking a lengthy hiatus following his face reveal \u2014 but he\u2019s also getting back to his roots. Dream told us that, despite his plans to do more IRL content, his main channel will still be focused on Minecraft, the game that skyrocketed him to stardom in the first place. \u201cI have tons of things I want to do that are on the crazier side, but I\u2019m also trying to go back to my roots,\u201d he explained. \u201cOne of the biggest reasons I got successful on YouTube from Minecraft was making creative videos, and I did a lot of development and coding, myself, to make crazy, unique stuff that\u2019s never been done before.\u201d \u201cIn terms of my main channel and the videos I post, I don\u2019t plan on posting too much IRL stuff. It\u2019s mostly still gonna be just Minecraft, and not even facecam or anything. But I will be able to incorporate myself into my videos more hopefully in the future with videos that are gaming and Minecraft and real life. But the biggest difference, really, is being able to do stuff like go to VidCon. I can actually meet fans and do stuff in real life I couldn\u2019t before.\u201d Fans can purchase tickets to VidCon Anaheim on VidCon\u2019s official website. The convention will take place from June 21 \u2013 24.
