Dreams

**Dreams** (夢, *Yume*) is the Blooming of Momo Yozakura which allows him to entrap people within his perfect dream.

## Overview

Momo is able to seal the minds of others inside of his ideal dream, which is a world in which things like pain and suffering do not exist.

When he uses this ability, Momo creates numerous cherry blossoms which, upon having contact with their scent, sends the victim into a hypnotic state where they're capable of perceiving Momo's dream.

A noticeable, yet random, side effect of entering Momo's dreamscape is that victims of this ability will have their hair and eye color altered; the former turning black while the latter becomes purple.

Unlike other Bloomings, the power of Dreams was initially given to Momo by Tsubomi Yozakura so that she could wipe his memories and infiltrate the Yozakura Family as a blank slate.

## Usage

When Dreams captivates a person in Momo's perfect dream, they're placed in a perfect reality without any pain of suffering. Taiyo Asano first experienced this reality where he was with all the Yozakura Family, alongside his family being alive again. They can revisit fond memories before being affected by pain, this is seen with Kyoichiro Yozakura revisiting a past memory of receiving his Steel Spider from Momo. Taiyo also experienced this, in a reality where his family didn't die in a car accident. Once within these dreams the person's mind will slowly become accustom to it and forget about reality.

Despite the ability's strong hypnosis there have been ways to break through it. Taiyo was able to break free from the dream thanks to the power of the Profuse Blooming of 10,000 Flowers being able to counteract the effects. However even with the Profuse Blooming's ability, Momo can counteract it by harming the mental stability of the person he's trying to captivate.

Dreams also has the ability to alter the memories of the people it affects. By blocking out the negative memories of Momo Yozakura, he is able to make his enemies believe in his dream and lose their animosity towards them. Due to this ability to alter memories, it also means Momo is able to enter the minds of the people he affects. Kyoichiro was able to overcome Dreams' brainwashing, this was due to Momo trying to use the ability to remove any negative memories and hatred Kyoichiro had for him, however due to Kyoichiro not having any hate towards Momo the brainwashing did not work.

Dreams can also be used on the user's own mind, trapping them in their own dream. Their body is still able to function as a normal person, but are more prone to insanity due to the fixation of the dream. This also meant that when Momo is being manipulated by Tsubomi, his actual mind is unaffected as it is under the blooming's ability. This seems to have led to the development of Momo's split personality, his real one being locked away in his mind whilst the one under Dreams controls his actions. Even though his mind is trapped away when he uses Dreams on himself, he is still able to take back control over his body though not for very long.

## Techniques

* **Memory Berry**: A cherry blossom which Momo can create, and grow into cherries. The cherries contain a memory which Momo has stored and cultivated, when crushed it will emit a burst of cherry blossom petals and will insert anyone engulfed in them into the memory to watch.
