Effects take the form of eggs when they are dropped in the Nexus. The article relates this to Easter eggs, which are special eggs given out around springtime to celebrate Easter. Eggs, which are often used to symbolize rebirth, are used in Christianity to symbolize the empty tomb of Jesus of which he was resurrected from. This could relate to the ending of the game, as many fans view Madotsuki's death as a "rebirth" or "reawakening", and the only way to achieve the ending is through dropping all of the effects (eggs) in the Nexus. The Name article also relates the time that Easter eggs are given out (spring) to a section in the Wilderness article detailing Batsu's similarity to the Asian royal fern, which sprouts in the spring. Batsu also resembles a spiral shape, which is noticed in the Wilderness Name article. In some ancient civilizations, spirals are regarded as a symbol for the cycle of life and death, which could also relate to the "reawakening" ending theory.

Welcome to my sandbox. This is where I'll put stuff when I'm experimenting with wiki assets, constructing new pages, or just doing trivial analytical things for fun.

Specific World Exploration

Documenting how the dream world can be explored under certain conditions and other various things related to the dream world. Click Expand to view contents.

Name Articles

The "Name" articles are a series of articles originally created by Mt.kiki on the old Yume Nikki Wiki. These pages list various theories relating to Yume Nikki and possible design inspirations for various aspects of the game. As the articles (likely) provide a Japanese point-of-view on the game's visuals and themes, they are likely to give better insight into possible design processes while creating Yume Nikki.

As the articles are either largely written in Japanese, have broken Google-Translated English, or are copy-pasted from other websites, I'd like to try and see if I could decode what each of the article's sections intends to communicate. This is also done to squeeze the contents of the articles into a smaller, usually multi-paragraph, state so that it can be read from a single section rather than an entire article.

Not all of the articles have currently been analyzed or translated, so this is still a work-in-progress section. Once one has been completed, an image will accompany the section.
