Yume Nikki:List of Locations

Flowchart of all the locations.

Yume Nikki has many interconnected locations that vary wildly in theme and size. Some location also house collectable effects and may also contain events.

The dream world is an intricate labyrinth of openly looping regions and obscure pathways, but most regions of the game can be considered as part of an individual 'world' with connections to other sections and worlds. This is a list of all the central worlds of Yume Nikki.

Note: In this wiki, the commonly-accepted fan names are used so that they are easier to find, although each area has an official name that is also listed on their respective pages (which are the map names when viewing the game in RPG Maker, many of which are generic).

The Real World

The only location in the game that actually exists, though a dream version of it is present as well.

The Original Locations

These are the places in the dream world that are accessible to the player from the very start of the dream, most of which have static, floating backgrounds and objects plastered around seemingly randomly. They lead to all of the deeper locations, and contain half of all of the effects.

The Aztec Rave Monkey is seen in the background.
