Breaking Down Eren's Dream From Attack On Titan S1 Ep1 #theanimaniq

Attack on Titan started off with a bang. Scenes of blood, gore, and titans were immediately shown to the viewer to give them an idea of what is to come. However, is it just random scenes that we’re shown? Or are there deeper meanings to each frame?

This is all in the anime, of course. The manga starts differently and the mentioned dream sequence is absent, except for one frame. Now, let’s do this, shall we?

Erern’s dream in the anime
As mentioned, the anime started with a dream sequence that might have served as a teaser for the theme of the show, but looking back we realize that there is a deeper meaning to the frames shown. Yep, this sure set the scene. As gruesome as it might be, let’s take a look. The bloody flowers are, from Hannes’ death. He dies fighting the the titan and his blood splatters on the flowers. Eren sees this when it happens. the windmill is from Shiganshina. Zeke roar created those titans. Additionally, Eren sees the titan that eats his mother and sees her getting eaten too. Here, the vision of his mother being eaten is blurred. This little note is important. Remember that Eren was crying when he watched Carla get eaten. Maybe that’s why the vision is blurred? Also the uniform and the toys are a very mysterious addition. The uniform of King Fritz, one who made the vow of non-violence. Although, the question is, why him? This might be because of Eren’s rejection of the vow to King Fritz. And the toys are probably foreshadow of Historia bearing a child for inheriting the titan power.
Lastly, the dead soldiers lying around in a forest. Notice how they aren’t being eaten. They appear to be dead. Isn’t that interesting? It could be a foreshadowing of Annie killing the survey corp members.

Eren’s dream in the manga
In direct contrast to the anime, the manga seems to have skipped out on the dream sequence almost entirely. Interestingly, one panel in the manga is shown before Eren wakes up. “See you later, Eren”. These are the words Mikasa said right before he woke up. It might seem innocent at first, but if we poke a little deeper, we get to see an interesting picture. Notice how he says, “When did your hair get so long?“.

Eren knew Mikasa had longer hair at the time, but in his dream, she appeared with short hair. That panel directly refers to the very last cabin scene of the dream eren showed to Mikasa in last chapter.
Isn't it amazing, how Isyama knew how he was gonna end the series even at the very beginning of the series. That's one of reason what makes Attack on Titan a masterpiece.
