The Grand Guardians are two mysterious entities who have not been seen physically yet. They only appear on stone tablets and in peepholes as images.

Each group of Lesser Guardians occupy a single world: either the [[Yume 2kki:Abyss of Farewells|Abyss of Farewells]], the [[Yume 2kki:Birthday Tower|Birthday Tower]] or the [[Yume 2kki:Dice World|Dice World]]. The groups are composed out of three members, one "wild" Guardian that appears somewhere in the world, one "shrined" Guardian, which inhabits a shrine in the area, and one "sealed" Guardian, that starts off in an inactive state somewhere in the area before being unsealed by Urotsuki at the end. Unsealing each of the "sealed" Guardians is required to open the door to the [[Yume 2kki:Sacred Crypt|Sacred Crypt]]. Interacting with the "shrined" Guardians causes them to appear in certain areas of the Dream Park proper.

The Lesser Guardians

The Lesser Guardians are a larger group of Guardians. They are usually given less importance compared to the Five Guardians, usually portrayed as below or outside the Five Guardians and the Grand Guardians. They are also more hidden and are found in several groups in physical locations, as opposed to having dedicated realms.

Each group of Lesser Guardians occupy a single world: either the Abyss of Farewells, the Birthday Tower or the Dice World. The groups are composed out of three members, one "wild" Guardian that appears somewhere in the world, one "shrined" Guardian, which inhabits a shrine in the area, and one "sealed" Guardian, that starts off in an inactive state somewhere in the area before being unsealed by Urotsuki at the end. Unsealing each of the "sealed" Guardians is required to open the door to the Sacred Crypt. Interacting with the "shrined" Guardians causes them to appear in certain areas of the Dream Park proper.

Homi
