[@2-st1mj]

Today marks the 10th debut anniversary of JiU, SuA, Siyeon, Yoohyeon, and Dami. The five members of Dreamcatcher debuted as Minx on September 18, 2014. Gahyun and Handong were added to Minx to form Dreamcatcher in 2017.

Breaking out is considered to be an alternative ending to the Nightmare arc, because the girls are not only together, but Yoohyeon is complete again (there is a scene where two Yoohyeons turn into one). Of their Japanese releases, this is the least heavy in my book (which is not a bad thing). Also, JiU really lets her hair down here. 😉 Deja Vu is nothing short of a masterpiece. It is a beautiful, fragile ballad that kicks your teeth down your throat in the chorus. It is extra difficult to sort out, because it tells the story from two perspectives. You know how even evil people think they are the good guys? This is reflected here. One perspective is Yoohyeon's, who gets corrupted right in the beginning. She thinks JiU is bad (does not want to share power) and backstabs her and kills, imprisons or banishes the other members so that she can rule alone. The other perspective is reality, where we can see JiU be kind to Yoohyeon, but she gets killed for it. I believe this is a commentary on the different perspectives people can have about the same event. The lyrics seem to hint at an abusive relationship, where there are usually two perspectives as well, and the abuser finds excuses to justify their actions, while the abused find themselves in an endless Deja Vu. Scream is part 1 of the Dystopia trilogy, which is about cyber-bullying, hateful comments and people losing themselves in the (fake) online world. It is mostly showing the victim's perspective of (cyber)bullying, comparing it to a medieval witch hunt and a burning at the stake. The tree is the tree of language, and it grows black fruit for every hurtful thing people say. Note also the hand gesture, it is the devil's horns introduced by Ronnie James Dio as a symbol for metal, but it originally was a gesture in the middle ages to ward off the evil eye, tying into the witch hunt theme. I really enjoy the music, it's rock mixed with EDM. Dreamcatcher are always very creative, and they are in their own genre by this point.

Their videos tend to go pretty deep and in many cases the storytelling is not linear, moreover everything (colors, poses, objects) have very deep symbolic meaning, so let me give a little bit deeper background on Scream here which is the 1st part of the Dystopia Trilogy Dystopia Trilogy: This trilogy talks about Cyberbullying and the power of language and how it can hurt someone if used in a negative way. It portrays their attempt at facing the Dystopian reality that is hidden in the world of social media. The center of the story is the tree of language that is turning black due to negativism after the curse of the evil language was released (depicted as opening Pandora's box in Scream) and the light provided by positive words fade out. The order of the title tracks is: Scream (Hear no Evil) - happening in the Past - Fantasy vibes Boca (Speak no Evil - Boca is the Spanish word for mouth) - Present timeline Odd Eye (See no Evil) - Futuristic vibes Now some info in the M/V: The dancer with the mask on is reserving the spot for Handong. (stuck in China due to CoVid so she was neither here, nor in Boca. ) First you mostly see the members wearing white, that is their pure uncorrupted form and they gradually take on the black outfit after waking up to new world of hatred. The masks otherwise represent anonymity provided by social media. 17:12 is when Gahyun breaks the container of the curse and negativism starts spreading (Explosion around the tree) It is also shown that this has happened some time in the past and negativism is ever since part of our society. (17:19 the ancient texts light up) 17:24 they point fingers at her for doing it. Similar to their other M/Vs the storytelling is not linear. In Scream the members are already wearing black but still asleep at the beginning 15:13. ("My covered eyes are stained with blood") 15:52 shows the loss of the white form. There is even a transitioning outfit with JiU with White on top of black 15:54. The purple fog with the evil words 16:04 is the curse basically, the scenes with purple with black outfit are the corrupted areas. We see how the spreading works in the bridge when Siyeon is still wearing white 17:32 while the other six members are already in black and around the now corrupted tree (purple) and they walk away from her wearing some black already and in 17:50 she wakes up wearing black. It is also important to note that one of the important message is how the "Please I don't want to scream" turns into Siyeon eventually singing "I just want to make you scream", meaning that basically negativism corrupts people turning them from victims to perpetrators. 17:58 "Dami: and one by one everyone becomes crazy". And finally now all of them wearing black walk away. And we arrive to Boca where in our current time everyone can but should not use hate speech.

Some further details on the Deja Vu M/V: Deja Vu is a song about love, friendship and most importantly betrayal. It is a standalone title track, not part of a Dreamcatcher story arc, and the song itself is a collaboration with the game KING's RAID by Vespa. The M/V has the two main characters: JiU and Yoohyeon and the same story is told from their different viewpoint where Deja Vu should more interpreted as distortion of perception triggered by a feeling, a past event or dream here. Pretty much how Yoohyeon's mind distorts the past how she has betrayed and killed JiU to get the throne while also got rid all the other members and now sitting on the throne all alone. Similar to Scream, white is innocence / purity while black is for the dark side. And the most important color is blue, that represents (distorted) memory while red is more for the bloody truth. Now for the story in nutshell: First we see Yoohyeon sitting on throne wearing white but the moment she sits on it she get corrupted by the black fog (power) 9:05 (note already the blue filter here). According to her (distorted) memory JiU was threatening her while she is innocent (9:32) - JiU in Black, Yoohyeon in White. The 7 of them were friends 9:39 , note the red drinks representing the actual past here but distortion kicks in at 9:41 that rewrites the past (flow of time changes). We see at 9:45 that according to the distorted memory they are now in conflict and the others are gone. Please note the blue drinks this time. At 10:41 we see the actual past of JiU wearing white but she forgives Yoohyeon 10:50 she drops the sword, only to get betrayed and stabbed in the back at 11:43. The table scene at 9:39 refers to the last supper by Leonardo da Vinci to emphasize the betrayal. Anyway Yoohyeon also gets rid of the others, already at the beginning we see Handong imprisoned 9:21, SuA banished 9:27, others probably dead 11:50 etc. Just to get to the final scene where Yoohyeon is sitting on the throne all alone wearing black. 12:28.

Thx for your reaction, Scream is the first MV of the Dystopia Trilogy with BOCA and ODD EYE :)

[@2-st1mj]

The girl band you mentioned is Rolling Quartz. I recommend Rolling Quartz's Fearless, Azalea, and Goodnight (a cover of Dreamcatcher).

Deja vu 😭

[@CutleryWonder]

Just finished all your Dreamcatcher reactions so far and I'm glad you're enjoying them! Thank you for the playlist but it would be super helpful for new viewers if they were in order with the oldest at that top so we can play them in the order you watched.

[@ReenyReacts]

Omg, I never checked the order of the Playlist, I thought the newest automatically go to the top and that's how it's supposed to be 🤔🫠

[@shortrader]

SCREAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@bornbroke-18]

just SCREAM!!!!!!!!

[@oranger1395]

Dreamcatcher ！！

[@CsLaci81]

How other people get the videos.... Well, none at first :D Many watch a color coded lyrics first, try to have a grasp and as a 2nd watch maybe catch something of the visuals. DreamCatcher M/Vs are some of the hardest in the industry due to their depth both for the symbolism and the multi layered lyrics. Summary of the M/Vs: Breaking Out - Alternate ending of Nightmare series where each overcomes and breaks out their nightmare and reunite. Deja Vu - Individual track made for a mobile game about betrayal and fighting for power. Scream - 1st part of Dystopia trilogy.

[@Bismahh_en]
