Although Dream joined YouTube in 2014, he only began to create content for YouTube regularly in 2019, per Dot eSports. Nevertheless, as his content picked up enough attention, more and more of Dream's viewers and fans began to ask for a face reveal.

Eventually, Dream's avatar or online face became a "staple aspect" of who he is.
Dream's face reveal follows the announcement of GeorgeNotFound, a YouTuber whom he is friends with. According to Dream's announcement, George is finally moving to Florida with "the Dream Team," a YouTube team that is made up of YouTubers Sapnap, George, and Dream himself. per the Dream Team Wiki.
Dream and Sapnap moved to a new house called the Dream Team house in Florida in late January, where they will live for at least five years.
This house is the same one George will move into after he departs from London, England.
Why Doing Face Reveals Is A Big Thing For YouTubers
Although most, if not all, YouTubers start their online career using an alias that hides their identity, such as H20Delirious and Sovietwomble, there are some who do not want or are willing to reveal their identity to their audience.
According to Newbie Films School, a YouTuber doing a face reveal is a big thing because they are exposing their true identity to the world, allowing the public to judge them and their appearance.
It could also lead to them being in a vulnerable position, such as being stalked in real life and on the world wide web.
However, a face reveal could provide YouTubers who do it with positive attention and the opportunity to further improve or solidify their brand.
