Yume Nikki:Dense Woods

Madotsuki entering a part of the Dense Woods B with several Isee watching closely.

The Dense Woods (also known as the Sea of Trees) is a set of deeper dream worlds in Yume Nikki.

Features

The Dense Woods is a large forested area with a straight road running through it and clearings in the trees in which several warps can be found. The area is also notable for containing the Jellyfish NPCs, who appear during the game's ending.

Worlds

Dense Woods A

Madotsuki near the vending machine and Puddle World stairway in Dense Woods A.

Dense Woods A is a rainy area largely made up of conical trees, much like the ones found in Forest World. A straight road also runs directly through this area. It is accessed by entering a pink stairway found in Puddle World.

Upon entering this world, the player will find one of three vending machines found throughout the dream world. The forest has a long road where a single Jellyfish stands. The road will loop if Madotsuki travels west, though she can enter the Infinite Road by heading east, a long path that contains the Floyag and endlessly loops upon walking to the right. If the player goes west instead of east on the Infinite Road, they will end up in Dense Woods B.

Dense Woods B

Dense Woods B contains both a continuation of the road found in Dense Woods A as well as several forest clearings that will lead to other worlds. Unlike Dense Woods A, it does not naturally rain in this area and the trees are rounded instead of conical.

The world is split into three isolated sections:

• The Frog Path (covered in the Dense Woods B page)
• The Road
• The Dark Woods

The Frog Path is listed as the main section of Dense Woods B due to being the fastest one to reach. It is accessed through a manhole found in the Mall. The manhole will lead to a short trail containing a Frog (who can be interacted with to gain the Frog effect) and a Jellyfish who can be interacted with for a one-way connection to the Teleport Maze.

When backtracking in the Infinite Road of Dense Woods A, the player will enter the Road of Dense Woods B. A corpse known as Shitai-san can be found at the end, where the road is blocked by traffic cones. This will give the Stoplight effect upon interaction. Near the connection to the Infinite Road is also a short clearing path that leads to a manhole, which will open to reveal a red tentacle if the Infinite Road has been looped through at least three times. This tentacle can be interacted with to reach Manhole-sama, and from there the White Desert Mountain Ring.

The last section, Dark Woods, is accessed by a portal found in Hell. The portal starts in a small section of the main Dense Woods B area, then leads to a dimmed, winding path filled with Isee. This path can be more easily navigated with the Lamp effect. It leads to the Traincar.
