On January 4, 2018, Happy Face Entertainment revealed that Dreamcatcher would release a new digital single dedicated to fans in celebration of their first anniversary on January 12. Composed by Ollounder (오종훈) and Leez (이수민), who also composed Dreamcatcher's previous title tracks "Chase Me" and "Good Night", the single will be of the metal/rock genre and "in commemoration of the memories forged between Dreamcatcher and fans".[28] This was followed up by individual teaser photos released everyday at 1313 hrs KST until 12 January, releasing clues of the title and lyrics of the track.[29] On January 12, Dreamcatcher released their first anniversary digital single "Full Moon", alongside a promotional video.[30] The video continued the story of Dreamcatcher's 'Nightmare' trilogy, and it was revealed at the end of the video that a comeback is planned in March 2018. The single immediately charted highly on the iTunes Top 100 K-Pop charts in many countries worldwide, and ranked No. 16 on the Billboard World Digital Song Sales chart.[31] On January 13, Dreamcatcher held their first anniversary fan meeting at the Mary Hall Grand Theatre at Sogang University, where they performed "Full Moon" for the first time in the presence of over 400 fans.[32] In February 2018, Dreamcatcher became the first K-pop girl group to complete a tour of major European cities to perform their music and interact with international fans. Cities visited on the 'Fly High' World Tour were London (February 14), Lisbon (February 16), Madrid (February 18), Amsterdam (February 21), Berlin (February 22), Warsaw (February 23), and Paris (February 25).[33][34] In March 2018, the group announced their official fandom name to be "InSomnia".[35]

2019: Touring, first Japanese full-length album and breakthrough success

On February 13, Dreamcatcher released their fourth EP, The End of Nightmare. As with the title, the album heralds the end of the 'Nightmare' concept. This overarching theme the group has been promoting in their past title songs since their debut single 'Chase Me' has finally ended and culminated in their new single - 'PIRI', a song showcasing Dreamcatcher's signature rock acoustics and incorporation of music from its namesake musical instrument. On the same day, Dreamcatcher's agency, HappyFace Entertainment, also announced that they created a sublabel to manage the group, named DreamCatcher Company.[45] After promotions of the new song 'PIRI', Dreamcatcher went on their Asia Tour 'Invitation from Nightmare City', which was announced to be held in several cities - Jakarta, Manila, Singapore, Seoul itself, as well as Japanese cities Tokyo and Kobe - from March to May 2019. However, due to undisclosed reasons, the concert stop in Jakarta was later canceled - instead, Dreamcatcher only stopped by in the city for a short fan-meeting.

Subsequently, in July, 3 more stops were announced as part of the 'Invitation From Nightmare City' tour - Australian cities Melbourne and Sydney, together with Kuala Lumpur city in Malaysia. Concerts at these 3 locations took place from late August to early September. Unfortunately, due to a fire occurring at 170 Russell theater on August 31, Dreamcatcher was forced to cancel their Melbourne stop one day before the concert was to be held. On August 31, Dreamcatcher announced the official 1st generation membership for their fanclub 'INSOMNIA', which will confer fans various benefits and limited edition goods. Both Korean and Japanese fanclub applications started on September 2, and lasted for a month.

On September 2, a series of pictures titled 'Mystery Code #01' were posted onto Instagram, possibly teasing a new release. The next day, a new 'Mystery Code #02' was posted onto their Instagram, containing 2 photos and a video. Following that, a comeback scheduler was unveiled - confirming the release of a new special mini album, Raid of Dream. On September 11, the group released their first Japanese full album titled The Beginning of The End, which includes Japanese versions of most of their title songs and 2 new Japanese singles. The music video for the track 'Breaking Out' was released 2 days prior to the album release, and Dreamcatcher held a showcase to promote and perform the new Japanese songs on September 14 - an event that was broadcast on LINE Live. Together with the release of Dreamcatcher's Korean comeback album Raid of Dream, the music video of their new Korean song 'Deja Vu' was unveiled on September 18 after a sequence of teasers and trailers. A Japanese version of the song was also uploaded simultaneously. This song is a formal collaboration with the mobile game 'King's Raid'.[46]

After the conclusion of 'Deja Vu' promotions, Dreamcatcher embarked on their second Europe Tour, specifically in the cities of London (October 24), Milan (October 27), Berlin (October 30), Warsaw (November 1), Paris (November 3), Amsterdam (November 5), and lastly Helsinki (November 7). Thereafter, the group also successfully completed their first ever tour in the United States of America, where they performed in cities Los Angeles (December 6), Chicago (December 8), Dallas (December 11), Orlando (December 13), and Jersey City (December 15). Handong was absent from both Europe and America tours due to at the time unspecified reasons, later revealed to be her participation on Idol Producer.

2020: Handong’s temporary absence, first Korean full-length album and international recognition

On February 3, Dreamcatcher revealed their teaser schedule for their first Korean studio album.[47] This first studio album—Dystopia: The Tree of Language—was released on February 18, together with the music video for "Scream", an uptempo EDM song. Although this was the first promotion since debut where the group performed as six members (Handong was not present due to her participation on Idol Producer), the dance for "Scream" was nevertheless choreographed for seven members in order to enable full-member participation in the future. In total, the album features eight new original songs, packaged with Dreamcatcher's previous two fan songs "Full Moon" and "Over the Sky", as well as Siyeon's solo debut song "Paradise". Dreamcatcher's third Japanese single, titled 'Endless Night', was released on March 11,[48] after its official music video was released a week earlier via ponycanyon's YouTube channel. On March 12, the official Dreamcatcher Twitter account publicised and announced support for Handong's participation in the Chinese Idol-producing show 'Youth With You' when the show aired its premiere episode.[49] From March 20, Dreamcatcher did a 2 week-long follow-up promotion on "Black or White", a song from their first studio album, days after promotions for 'Red Sun' and "Scream" ended on the second week of March.[50]

On May 1, Milenasia Project announced that Dreamcatcher, alongside Korean boy group IN2IT and female soloist AleXa will be featured in their song titled 'Be The Future'. The project, supported by UNESCO's Global Education Coalition, emphasized the importance of maintaining good hygiene practices and to express their deepest gratitude to teaching staff worldwide for their continued efforts in educating students during the COVID-19 pandemic.[51] The music video of the song was released on May 6. On June 16, Dreamcatcher released a teaser featuring the members in a recording session, ending with the words 'R.o.S.E BLUE'.[52] A follow-up video revealed and announced that the group will be singing the song 'R.o.S.E BLUE' as an O.S.T for the mobile game 'Girl Cafe Gun'.[53] The song was released on July 15 at 6 pm.[54][55] Following 'Deja Vu' in 2019, this was the second soundtrack that Dreamcatcher had produced for a mobile game.

As part of an ongoing collaboration with MyMusicTaste, Dreamcatcher performed a 6-member concert 'Global Streaming Into The Night & Dystopia' on July 4 at 23:59.[56] This was the group's first ever online concert held for a global audience. On July 30, Dreamcatcher revealed their teaser schedule for their fifth EP.[57] The fifth EP, Dystopia: Lose Myself was released on August 17. The music video for the title track 'BOCA' from their fifth mini-album Dystopia: Lose Myself was released at 6 pm on the 18th. The video exceeded 6 million views as of the morning of the 19th. "Dystopia: Lose Myself" become fastly their best selling album to date, having sold 86.874 copies in South Korea during its first two weeks. [58] Member Yoohyeon also announced via VLive(an app where Kpop idols can create a live video to interact with their fans) announced that Handong is finishing up her schedule and set to return to Korea soon.
