When exploring the dream world, [[Madotsuki]] will occasionally come across strange occurrences or activities, known as 'Events'. These make up most of the memorable content of the game and provide intriguing perspectives of the dream world. Many [[theories]] are developed to attempt to explain what the events represent, if anything. | |||
Some events happen as a result of a specific trigger (E.g. Madotsuki interacting with an object, such as the TV in her dream bedroom), whereas others (such as [[Uboa]] or [[Takofuusen]]) occur on a random chance when a certain action is performed. | |||

Once you have arrived at the fire, stand as close as you can to the flame and watch as [[Madotsuki]] slowly melts away.

There are a number of events that can be found in the dream world of Yume Nikki that stop the action of the game and show full-screen pictures and/or music, similar to cutscenes in traditional games.

'''Description:''' One of the most popular events is the "Aztec Rave Monkey" that appears when Madotsuki looks into a conspicuous hollow totem sculpture found in a certain area of [[The Wilderness]]. It shows the many iterations of a certain design repeated often throughout the game, that of an Aztec-style monkey-like image with four faces. A synth beat plays during this scene. | |||

'''Prompt:''' | |||
'''Description:''' "FACE" is an event that occurs when Madotsuki opens the door at the top of the Stairway, in the Number World. | |||
Known as the Red King (jp:赤の王様 ) in Japanese, FACE appears when one exits the stairway which is accessed from the [[Number World]]. It is often associated with KyuuKyuu-kun and used as evidence by some fans to support the theory that Madotsuki has some kind of trauma involving penises. The interpretation of FACE being a penis head further expresses this. This animation cannot be skipped and continues for approximately ten seconds before Madotsuki awakens abruptly. | |||
==The KALIMBA TV Channel== | |||

'''Prompt:''' | |||
'''Description:'''In Madotsuki's apartment in the dream world, it is possible to witness a full-screen event by interacting with the TV, with a 1/7 chance of seeing it every time the TV is switched on. | |||
When the event has been activated, the TV sprite will show the face of one of the 'Kalimba creatures'. | |||
The screen then fades to black and two oppositely-scrolling rows of tribal African-stylized figures are shown. The figures appear to be armless humanoids with their heads tilted sideways and long, zigzagging tongues spilling from their mouths. During the event, a tribal/electro rhythm plays on a short loop. | |||
The name comes from both the background music track and the image files being labelled as 'KALIMBA' in the game's coding, after the instrument and artwork used in the event. | |||

Template:Images When exploring the dream world, Madotsuki will occasionally come across strange occurrences or activities, known as 'Events'. These make up most of the memorable content of the game and provide intriguing perspectives of the dream world. Many theories are developed to attempt to explain what the events represent, if anything.
Some events happen as a result of a specific trigger (E.g. Madotsuki interacting with an object, such as the TV in her dream bedroom), whereas others (such as Uboa or Takofuusen) occur on a random chance when a certain action is performed.
Gameplay Events
Crick in the Neck
Location: Madotsuki's Room
Prompt: Random Chance. Determined when Madotsuki wakes up.
Description: Occasionally, when Madotsuki gets out of bed she will have a crick in her neck, causing her head to be constantly turned to the left. In this state, she is unable to write in her diary or play NASU, and has no choice but to go back to sleep. The effect will wear off when she falls asleep again.
The Falling Man
Location: The Stairway to the sky in The Wilderness that leads to the Sky Garden.
Prompt: Random Chance. Determined when Madotsuki sets foot on the Stairway to the Sky.
Description: What appears to be a man in the background, sometimes two of them, spins as if it was falling downward. However, the figure moves in circular directions and does not fall downward. In fact, it follows Madotsuki up the staircase.
Video of an encounter with two simultaneous Falling Men.
Famicom Glitch
Location: The empty basement room of the dungeon in FC World A.
Prompt: Random Chance.
Description: Whether or not this event is available is randomly determined when you go to sleep, with a 1/3 chance of it being available. If the event is accessible, you can talk to the top wall tile of the left wall of the room. The tile makes the same noise as the numbers people, but no numbers are shown. When you keep talking, the room starts corrupting, eventually freezing the game with a nasty sound before waking Madotsuki up. Note that despite the event name, this is not an actual glitch and is intentionally programmed to happen.
This event is possibly a reference to two glitches seen in Earthbound, from which the FC World is probably based on:
Melting Madotsuki
Location: The Blazing Corridor, in The Underground World
Prompt: Random Chance. Use the Hat and scarf effect to transform into a snowman in the Snow World, then sleep in the bed. There is a 1/5 chance it will take you to the The Staircase of Hands, from which - as a snowman - you walk to the Blazing Corridor.

Because the snowman is so slow, the fastest way is to go next to the bed, turn into a snowman, go to the bed, and wake up to try again if the bed doesn't transport you toThe Staircase of Hands. Once you have arrived at the fire, stand as close as you can to the flame and watch as Madotsuki slowly melts away. Once completely melted, she returns to the regular Hat and Scarf sprite.
