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.

The Chair

This table lists locations that are accessible with the Chair, obtained in Madotsuki's Dream Bedroom, and nothing else. Effect combination glitches with the Chair will not be included, as this list only compiles what can be achieved with the Chair alone with no effects obtained prior. Notes and ranking are also based on the availability of rooms and events in a given area.

• "Yes" means everything here works normally.
• "Partially" means you can get to this world and only do some things available there.
• "No" means you can't get to this world at all.

This list will also not count areas you get trapped in by already-hostile Toriningen.

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.

Bed Room

The article makes a connection between the Number World Bed Room and "Naraka", a Buddhist term that is basically the Buddhism equivalent of Hell or purgatory. A being is usually sent to Naraka as a result of bad karma, which may relate to how the Number World Toriningen must be stabbed in order to enter Mini Hell, where a ghost of Madotsuki resides.

In Buddhism, it is widely believed there are eight Hells (with there being a total of sixteen, split between Hot and Cold Hells). The Eight Hot Hells appear to relate to the eight closets found in the Bed Room. There are also four gates on the four sides of the Eight Hot Hells, which is similar to how there are four closets (gates) in the four cardinal directions of Mini Hell.

Note from the sandbox owner: Mini Hell also appears to be based on the Blood Pool Hell in Buddhism. While texts of this punishment, called the Blood Bowl Sutra, originated in China, it grew quite popular in Japan. The belief was that women who died during childbirth were sent to this blood pool as a form of punishment (which may explain the red drip effect seen in Mini Hell, and why it shares a similar appearance to the normal Hell map). This may also relate to Aztec themes seen in the game, as the Aztecs considered childbirth to be a form of battle that women faced. The Aztecs believed that women who suffered the same fate would be sent to Paradise alongside those that died in physical battle, a much more peaceful ending.

Bloody Touching Monster

The Bloody Touching Monster may be based on the Daidarabotchi of Japanese mythology, a giant who weighed Mount Fuji and Mount Tsukuba on a great scale to see which was heavier. This is similar to how the Bloody Touching Monster is large in size and grabs onto the mountains in the background of Uboa's Trap. The picture in the article also depicts Daidarabotchi as fully black, almost shadow-like, much like the Bloody Touching Monster.

The article also makes an odd connection between Myristica fragrans and bloodletting. The Bloody Touching Monster appears to have small spurts of blood coming from its arms/legs, which may allude to bloodletting. This process is a treatment for "nutmeg liver", the chronic congestion of the liver that gives it the appearance of nutmeg. The article then uses this connection between blood and nutmeg to bring up Myristica fragrans, a nutmeg tree that has yellow fruit with black and red seeds. The yellow hair may symbolize Poniko (blonde hair) and her room (yellow door and carpet) being transformed into Uboa's Trap (black and red, the same colors as the Bloody Touching Monster).

Candle World

The article first relates Candle World to The Presentation of Jesus at the Temple, which is also known as Candlemas. There are also the Twelve Great Feasts, related to the Presentation of Jesus at the Temple, which the article links to the twelve Nexus doors. It seems that each of the twelve doors in the Nexus represent an event that the Twelve Great Feasts are based on (though the article's table does not just use Nexus doors, it states other non-Nexus worlds like the Pink Sea and Sky Garden Stairway).

The pyramid in Candle World is also taken into consideration in the article. One of the first instances of a candle-like object was in Ancient Egypt. Egypt is well known for its pyramid structures. The pyramid also links back to the religious theme discussed earlier. There is a Slavic dish known as Paskha, which is typically eaten at Easter, is molded into a pyramid shape, and is often decorated with a single candle atop it.

The article also links the fairy tale Snow White to the Candle World. The characters located there seem to represent the characters in Snow White. The Dwarf represents the Seven Dwarfs, the Toriningen represents the Evil Queen, and Madotsuki represents Snow White. It should also be noted that there are seven Walking Candles in Candle World, the same number of dwarfs in the tale. In the tale, Snow White is offered a poisoned apple by the Evil Queen in disguise, which causes her to go into a coma/fall asleep, which may explain why there is a Bed in the Candle World near the Toriningen. The Toriningen are also considered "enemies" in the game and the Evil Queen is considered the antagonist of the Snow White fairy tale.

The last section involving the Walking Candles simply links it to wax sculptures.

Note from the sandbox owner: This table is in the original Name article and might be expanded upon by me in the future, as it seems unfinished or unsure on the locations in some areas.

Dave Spector

The article suspects that Dave Spector may be another instance of indigenous imagery in the game. They resemble a Nazca female effigy figure (picture viewable here) which is made of hair, shell, and whale tooth.

Dave Spector is also compared to the children's game Manhunt, which is like a combination of hide & seek and tag. Madotsuki is considered "it" and Dave Spector is "tagged" by being stabbed with the Knife effect, allowing access to the Monoe and Severed Head tunnels. The "manhunt is sometimes played with teams" addition may relate to how there are two Dave Spectors. More about the White Desert and how it may be based on children's games is detailed in the White Desert's Name article.

Effects

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.

The connection to eggs does not stop at the theories of rebirth and reawakening. The Floyag in the Dense Woods are stated to resemble a uterus, though the article suggests that their appearance may come from the Earthly Branch symbol for the rabbit zodiac sign (卯). The symbol also vaguely resembles a uterus, which also fits into the egg and "rebirth" themes of the article. The article also brings up the symbol for a fertilized egg (卵), which shares a similar resemblance.

The article also notes the presence of an "Easter egg" in the game itself. A code similar to the Konami code is input into NASU to play the eggplant-headed NASU mode. It should be noted that inputting the Easter egg causes increased bonus eggplants.

Fabergé eggs may have also been an inspiration for some of the effects and their egg design when left in the Nexus. Fabergé eggs were jeweled eggs made by the House of Fabergé from 1885 to 1917. They were typically given as gifts during Easter. A table is even given in the Name article to compare some of the eggs. A simplified version is put below:

Midget egg	Yuki-onna egg	Bicycle egg	Triangle Kerchief egg
First Hen Fabergé Egg	Winter Fabergé Egg	Steel Military Fabergé Egg	Twilight Fabergé Egg

Another Fabergé egg that is brought up is the Bouquet of Lilies Clock egg, which has roman numerals up to twelve surrounding it. The egg is also split into 12 sections. Notably, there are also twelve doors in the Nexus (excluding Madotsuki's door). The lilies may have also inspired the presence of the white lilies in the Crossover Garden. White lilies are also associated with death in Japanese culture, which may allude to the ending, which requires leaving the effect eggs.

The final parts of the article relate to the ending, resurrection, and the directions that two events in the game symbolize. The article first mentions the Feast of the Ascension, a feast meant to commemorate the ascension of Jesus that usually takes place during Eastertide. There are two different events which the article associates with "ascension": the Witch's Flight and the Ending. The Name article also relates this to the cycle of the Sun and Moon, and how they could symbolize positivity and negativity, respectively:

• The Sun rises in the east, symbolizing brightness/positivity/good. The Witch's Flight, which is a happier event compared to a lot of what happens in the game, could symbolize this positivity. It should be noted that when Madotsuki has her effects, she travels East and has a more positive experience. When you fall from the event by unequipping the effect, Madotsuki wakes up while facing east, which could relate to the resurrection (waking up) and Christ (Easter).
• The Sun sets in the west, symbolizing darkness/negativity/bad. The Ending, which is a more negative experience and literal ending of Madotsuki's life, could symbolize this negativity. It should be noted that when Madotsuki does not have her effects, she jumps West and has a more negative experience.

Eyeball World

The Medamaude NPC that gives the Medamaude effect resembles the hamsa, a palm-shaped amulet depicting an open right hand with an eye on the palm. The sign represents protection, which could relate to how the Medamaude effect returns Madotsuki to the peaceful Nexus while remaining asleep, especially in a situation where she is lost or trapped by characters such as Uboa or the Toriningen.

The Eyeball World background also heavily resembles Paracas textile work, depicting a dream being that is an often reoccurring design throughout Paracas textiles. This being represents the dreamer and acts as a sort of self-awareness during dreams to signify that the person is in fact dreaming. The figure also holds the head of the dreamer.

While the background obviously takes inspiration from the Paracas, it may also be inspired by the Native American sun dance ritual. One of the members of the dance wears a red loincloth with no upper-body wear, face paint, a packet of tobacco around their neck, and sage rings around their head and wrists. This description slightly fits the Eyeball World background, as it wears red, has rings around its wrists (and ankles), and also some sort of neck attachment. The sun dancer also holds an eagle bone flute in their mouth during the sun dance, blowing it in order to attract eagles. It was considered good luck if eagles flew down due to the flute's sound, as they were considered the eyes of the heavens.

FACE

FACE resembles various drawings and paintings by the artist Louis Wain, who particularly drew cats. Some of his later works depicted more surreal and abstract representations of cat faces.

The Name article relates FACE's connection to Louis Wain's works to the Cat effect, suggesting that the two may have a connection. Due to these similarities, it suggests that FACE may be an interpretation of someone in Madotsuki's life, possibly a family member or her parents.

FC House

FC World obviously takes inspiration from classic Famicom/NES games, though Mother (also known as EarthBound Beginnings) appears to be one of the more significant and obvious inspirations.

The next installment in the Mother series, Mother 2/EarthBound, has the beginning of the story start with a meteor crash. This may have inspired the NPC Merutomaro, who resembles star jelly. Star jelly is a gelatinous substance that, in folklore, is stated to fall during meteor showers. The substance also often takes a primarily white color, matching Merutomaro's appearance. Considering this slime and meteor connection to Merutomaro, they may also be based on the monster from The Blob, who comes from outer space on a meteorite. The term "blob" can also stand for "binary large object", a collection of binary data in a single entity, which is befitting of the retro/digital/game-theme of the world Merutomaro lives in.

The mushrooms in the FC Basement, know as Kinoko-san, appear to be based on a kyōgen performance known as "Mushroom" or "Fungus". The play centers around a man who grows annoyed due to the large mushrooms growing around his house, so he orders a Yamabushi to pray in order to get rid of the mushrooms. However, the more that the Yamabushi prays, the bigger the mushrooms grow and move. One of the characters in the play, Oni Mushroom, may also relate to why they surround the FC Demon's room. Their place near the FC Demon may also relate to how mushrooms have stimulated growth when exposed to jolts of electricity or large sounds simulating lightning strikes, as the FC Demon gives the Demon effect, which creates lightning.

The inclusion of the Goblins in the basement appears to interpret them as computer viruses in the article. Their brighter appearance and them wielding weapons may indicate they are intended to represent this. They also have a noticeably higher chance of giving Yen, which may indicate that eradicating them is good because they are "evil" or "bad". The castle wall they find themselves by may be intended to be a pun on a firewall, a network system intended to keep a network secure.

Graffiti World

Graffiti World's tile-like layout appears to be inspired by the game LSD: Dream Emulator, which is based on a dream journal kept by Hiroko Nishikawa. The game has a similar feel to Yume Nikki, relying on dream-like visuals and player exploration. This inspiration may be why the Bicycle effect can be found here, as "LSD" is also a drug. The first recorded LSD trip is known as "Bicycle Day" where Swiss chemist Dr. Albert Hofmann ingested the substance and reported intense perception changes. His assistant helped escort him out, and the two rode on bicycles in order for Hofmann to reach his house.

The left design in Graffiti World (the more monkey-like one) appears to have a mudrā-like design on its hand. References to Buddhist beliefs appear throughout the game, and this appears to be one of them. One of the mudrās known as a seal gesture involves facing one's full hands up and forward. The figure seems to make this gesture, considering both of its hands can be seen facing forward in the graffiti.

The right design in Graffiti World (the more face-like one) appears to be representative of evil, which the left figure is warding off. The article draws similarities to its design and Linophryne lucifer, also known as the devilfish. This particular fish can be found in the Indian ocean, which is relevant to the theme of mudrās, as they are practiced particularly in Indian religions. The devilfish also has two appendages on its face, one resembling the lure of an anglerfish and one resembling a long beard. These are both seen in the right design, as the lure holds the Bicycle effect and the end of the "beard" has a Restroom. The connection between this figure and Buddhism is also furthered by the name of the anglerfish/monkfish in Japanese: "アンコウ" (Ankō). The word appears to be derived from "ango" which is a term for a Japanese period of training that Zen Buddhist monks undergo. The English name "monkfish" also literally has "monk" in the name.

Graffiti World overall also seems to be based on chakra, which are vital points associated with a person's life force. The colorful tiles can be compared to the seven rainbow chakras and chakra is also a part of Buddhism (see mudrā section), though Buddhist texts usually only refer to five chakras. The name "chakra" also means "wheel" or "cycle", which may be another explanation for why the Bicycle effect can be found here.

Hell

The maze-like structure of Hell appears to be inspired by the "Man in Maze" symbol created by the Papago Indians of Arizona. Though interpretations of the symbol vary between families, the general consensus is that it represents life, death, and the afterlife. The man in the symbol represents life and the center of death while the maze represents the various choices made during life. The symbol also correlates to I'itoi bring people to the earth from the underworld.

The red Henkei Shita found in Hell may reference a supernatural being described in various religions known as the "preta" or "gaki" (both literally meaning "hungry ghost"). They are often described as having very sunken skin and narrow limbs, though their belly has become overly bloated. They are reincarnations of people who were previously greedy or jealous in a previous life and have been reborn as entities with seemingly insatiable hunger and thirst. Even food and drinks are unable to relieve this suffering, as they turn into fire when touched by a preta, which may align with the common "fire" theme often associated with the underworld. The concept of the preta is described in Taoism, Hinduism, and Buddhism, the latter of which has common themes throughout Yume Nikki.

The article also mentions how the mouth of the Henkei Shita, and how its large stomach could represent a pregnant person, could allude to a caesarean section delivery (more commonly known as simply a C-section).

The staircase leading to the Docks and the gate leading to the Dense Woods may refer to punishments in the lowest layer of Hell in Buddhism. There are areas of boiling hot water (The Docks) and trees made of sword blades that must be climbed (Dense Woods).

Muma Rope

Memories

Memories are collectibles within Muma Rope that replace the usual effects found within many Yume Nikki fan games. While they serve the same purpose of being a group of collectibles that are scattered throughout the game's world, only a few select memories can be actually utilized like effects. When a memory is obtained, it will show up as an orange square on the save screen. There are a total of 28 memories.

Below is a list of memories that can be collected in Muma Rope:
EDITOR'S NOTE: This is just a simple list of the memories, where they can be found, and how. The names of each memory here are tentative, since I'm not sure if they have names, and if they do, I don't know them.

Memory	Location and Method
Neon Die	Rainbow Labyrinth - Found on the top floor after going up five ladders scattered throughout the labyrinth.
Hourglass	Sands of Time - Obtained after waiting for the black pillar displaying the memory to sink into the quicksand.
2600 Artifact	2600 World - Found in one of the ruins, northwest of the town area.
Real Heart	Sanguinary Sea - Located on the heart-shaped island, south of the warp from Thorny Vine World.
Star Wand	The Moon - Found floating on the Moon.
Celestial Jewel	Windy Canyon - Located atop a pillar blocked by two rocks. Can be accessed after activating the Sun pillar and solving the Moon pillar puzzle.
Flute	Owl Swamp - Found in a nest after making three of the five owls sing, excluding the two that sound like brass instruments.
Hand	Puzzle Chamber - Located behind two barriers that can be deactivated by flipping the two levers on the south side of the main puzzle room.
Diamond	Dream Chicago - Obtained after breaking through the glass in the Swimming Pool, which will drop Muma into Dream Chicago.
Knife	Yin Yang Lake - Found east of the figure under the red streetlight after it has been interacted with to turn the lake to its Yin/dark variant.
Void Orb	Stare's Stairs - Found within a dark tunnel with a duplicate Muma. The player Muma will shake hands with the duplicate Muma before the double turns into the memory. If the Knife memory has been obtained prior, the duplicate Muma will stab the player Muma, causing them to turn into the memory as the player now controls the double.
Neon Leaf	Dark Neon Meadow - Located within a grass patch in an occasional extension of the world's middle room.
Totem Egg	Totem Hill - Located on the ground level, north of the gate to the Dark Neon Meadow.
Rainbow Heart	Cyber Cavern - Found after activating the teleportation tile with rainbow particles around it, sending Muma to a unique part of the cavern.
Daikon	Isle of Seasons - Found in the basement of the house during Summer, which only opens after feeding the carrot to the rabbit in the Isle of Seasons.
RBG Substance	Realm of the Orb - Found inside of the world's red variant by placing the orb in the transition room's southeast platform and then taking the left pathway.

Additionally, there are seven extra memories known as Empty Memories (also referred to as Blank Memories). These types of memories are hidden within various worlds and normally require odd means of reaching them. They each take the appearance of a black heart, resembling the pink heart memory gained during the game's tutorial, and are found behind doors resembling the Memory Room door. After they are obtained, Muma will distort to reflect the event or location that led her to the empty memory. When an empty memory is obtained, it will show up as a black square on the save screen. There are a total of 7 empty memories.

Memory	Location and Method
Memory of Static	Memory Room - Find the secret pathway near the Memory Room door.
Memory of Darkness	Retro Dungeon - Walk across the water near the doorway to White Shores.

General / Yume Wiki

Effects

Effects are collectibles found within Yume Nikki and many of its fangames. They act as a primary "goal" in the games they appear in and urge the player to explore the game's worlds in order to find them. They are typically rewarded to the player for interacting with unique NPCs or objects, searching deep into the dream world, or solving puzzles or mazes. They are usually equipped through the game's menu and serve a variety of functions.

While not all Yume Nikki fangames have effects, they may have an equivalent that has a different function and ultimately share the same trope of being collectibles scattered throughout the game to find. This is the case for fangames such as Muma Rope, which instead has "Memories". Some fangames may not even refer to the collectibles as effects and may use a different name instead, such as in the game Answered Prayers where the effects are referred to as "Prayers".

Effect Usage and Types

Effects have a variety of uses, though they do not always have to benefit the player when used. Some effects can give the player useful abilities, such as being able to move faster or clear obstacles, while others may not be as helpful, such as those that are purely cosmetic or slow the player's movement speed.

Another use of effects is to interact with characters found around the dream world. Some effects can be used on a wide variety of NPCs with a largely similar outcome, such as the Knife effect from Yume Nikki allowing a large majority of NPCs in the game to be killed. Some effects may simply result in unique reactions from NPCs, even if the effects themselves can not affect most characters on a larger degree, such as the Cake effect from Yume 2kki making the character Akako happy.

There are several types of effects seen through fangames which serve the same purpose or function, such as increasing movement speed or allowing NPCs to be killed. These effects are typically derived or inspired by effects in the original Yume Nikki and usually serve the same purpose as existing effects from said game. Below is a list of effect types that are commonly seen throughout fangames alongside their original game equivalent:

Type	Function	Effects with Same/Similar Function
Speed Increase	Increases the player's movement speed, which is much faster than walking. This can be used to explore worlds faster or to get to deeper locations in less time. In some fangames, this effect type is replaced with a "Run" button or simply a faster walking speed.	Bicycle from Yume Nikki Bike from Yume 2kki Cape from Uneven Dream Tall Geta from Answered Prayers
Light	Equipping an effect of this type will brighten dark areas, allowing them to be navigated much more easily.	Lamp from Yume Nikki Lantern from Yume 2kki Sunflower from Uneven Dream Light from Answered Prayers
Nexus Teleporter	Allows the player to return to the game's "Nexus" area without backtracking or waking up. This type of effect is useful when in a hostile environment or when trapped in an isolated section of a map, allowing for progress to continue in the game without the interruption of waking up.	Medamaude from Yume Nikki Eyeball Bomb from Yume 2kki Star from Uneven Dream Phantom from Answered Prayers
Weapon	Gives the ability to kill NPCs with a weapon. Sometimes, this can instead upset certain characters, making them hostile. Some games also make NPCs drop currency when they are killed.	Knife from Yume Nikki Chainsaw from Yume 2kki Lily of the Valley from Uneven Dream Shovel from Answered Prayers
Size Decrease	Shrinks the player to a small size so that they can fit into small spaces or move through small gaps.	Midget from Yume Nikki Fairy from Yume 2kki Butterfly from Uneven Dream
Music Player	Gives the ability to play a few notes of music with an instrument. This is typically purely cosmetic.	Flute from Yume Nikki Trombone from Yume 2kki Guitar from Answered Prayers
Color Change	Turns the player into a different color, typically giving them an action to change the color of the screen or surrounding objects. This is typically purely cosmetic.	Neon from Yume Nikki Rainbow from Yume 2kki Monochrome from Answered Prayers

Plot for Yume Nikki: I Am Not in Your Dream (WIP)

Plot

Part 1: You

Madotsuki finds herself in her boring room, observing the many things that decorate it. She examines her carpet, television, desk, and bookshelf, while also heading out to her veranda only to find that things are lifeless and empty both indoors and outdoors. After glancing at the door to exit her room, she stumbles towards her bed and snugly enters the dream world. Upon entering the dream version of her room, Madotsuki instantly feels more lively and notices her dream is a place of freedom. She heads for her dream room's door to exit as her television flashes on, displaying a singular eye that glares at her. Madotsuki creaks open her door and tumbles into the Nexus, catching sight of the floating Paracas figures and the twelve doors that circle around the room. Gazing upon the variety of surreal-looking doors, Madotsuki contemplates what could be behind each and which to open first. She takes into account the appearance and position of the doors before deciding that there is no reasonable choice within the Nexus, and she simply goes for the Nexus's red door.

Madotsuki enters the vast but empty Puddle World as the door floats behind her. Despite the motionless environment, Madotsuki begins walking to explore the area, stepping through the puddles as they shift between clear water and muddy bacteria-filled filth. She steps into one of the puddles, seeing the reflection of herself and the cloudy sky. As the ripples in the puddles distort Madotsuki's reflection, the image of her in the puddle morphs into a man and woman arguing, only growing more distorted with more water ripples. Madotsuki simply continues through the world, running from the distorted reflection that seems to follow her, until she trips over a small umbrella on the ground. Out of curiosity, she grabs the umbrella and opens it, causing it to rain. The rain dispels the reflection of the arguing couple, putting Madotsuki's worries to rest and she continues through the empty Puddle World.

The puddles of the world Madotsuki explores continue to retain the sound of the arguing couple, though they are simply drowned out by the pattering of the rain. Madotsuki suddenly sees a stairwell in the distance, closing her umbrella and curiously heading inside to see what lies at the bottom. She enters the Dense Woods, surrounded by outstretched trees that obstruct her view, and is instantly attracted to the out-of-place vending machine. However, Madotsuki finds out that she has no change and can not purchase one of the many drinks the machine offers, walking away in defeat. The road cutting through the Dense Woods lies in front of her, stretching infinitely through the trees. She walks along the road before realizing she is becoming bored as she loops around, heading nowhere until she sees a humanesque figure in the distance. Upon rushing towards the figure, she realizes it is not a human, but rather a man-sized Jellyfish, a creature resembling a cluster of organs. Disgusted, she runs away from the creature as it simply continues to stand in place, emitting the noise of a ringing bell as Madotsuki plugs her ears and continues to flee.

As Madotsuki runs from the Jellyfish, she notices that the scenery around her has changed despite continuing along the same road. The trees have disappeared and Floyag hover above Madotsuki, watching her travel through the corpse-reeking path. Eyes sprout from the Floyag as Madotsuki feels their presence, prompting her to run back with a nervous feeling. The sea of trees comes into her sight as she once again enters the forested area of the Dense Woods, relieved after escaping the Floyag who simply watched her. She opens the umbrella once again on a now stoplight-filled road with lights flickering between red and yellow. Suddenly, Madotsuki catches sight of a corpse on the road in front of her. The body rots in the rain as Madotsuki squats beside it, contemplating the aspects of death and life. Above her, one of the stoplights swings about before snapping off its pole and landing on her head, flickering between "stop" and "go" states. After getting hit, Madotsuki weakly stands up, now with the stoplight fully surrounding her like a costume. She stumbles about with her legs emerging from the stoplight's base, flicking between the red and green lights out of amusement. However, she is unable to see in front of her, and is grabbed by a red tentacle emerging from a nearby manhole, which drags her in.

Falling through the manhole, Madotsuki lands at the bottom largely unharmed, though the rough landing causes her clothes to become tattered and the stoplight to crack, as it absorbed most of the fall. The stoplight crumbles and falls apart, leaving behind a mere pile of dust and shards. Inside the manhole lies Manhole-sama, who leaves Madotsuki horrified as it looks at her with a vulgar expression. Noticing her clothes are tattered, she shields herself with her hands and quickly climbs a red string near the end of Manhole-sama's room, noticing that Manhole-sama's hands are growing closer. She makes it out of Manhole-sama's room through a hole at the top of the string, vomiting from exhaustion as soon as she makes it to the top. She looks around at the scenery, now finding she is in the White Desert in front of a large head looking at her with bloodshot eyes. As the rain continues to fall, Madotsuki once again opens up her umbrella to shield herself. She moves around the head, attempting to avoid its gaze, before finding an entrance that she reluctantly enters.

The path within the head stretches across a large expanse, resembling clouds and pitch-black charcoal. As Madotsuki continues she comes across the Thing with the Quivering Jaw, terrified by the creature as it snarls and grinds its teeth. Madotsuki plugs her ears to ignore the grinding noise, though she finds that she is also grinding her own teeth. She holds and lowers her head in horror before her hand slips down her face, leaving her fingers to pinch her cheek. She awakens, pulling away the blankets and taking a deep breath before realizing that it was all a dream. Madotsuki hastily grabs her diary and writes about the details of her dream, eventually exhausting her as she lies her head down once more and the diary slips from her hands.

Madotsuki returns to the Nexus and decided to check the various doors before fully heading to their associated dream world. She decides that she will simply creak open the doors, and if the world inside feels uneasy, she will close the door and choose another. One of the doors catches Madotsuki's attention despite its drab color scheme, as beyond it is a pale snowscape with falling snow. Relieved by the peaceful land, she opens the umbrella that she has taken a liking to and takes a stroll through Snow World. She rolls up and throws snowballs, falls into the snow, and is even covered by snow when a branch suddenly shakes some loose, though she suddenly sees a cluster of igloos that she goes to investigate. Madotsuki crawls inside the igloos, looking about until she comes across Kamakurako who is sleeping peacefully within one of the igloos. The small girl reminds Madotsuki of her younger self, which causes her to think about the much more playful nature of being a child. As Madotsuki reaches out to Kamakurako, a figure appears in the igloo's doorway. A small Yuki-onna appears before her, small enough to be held in her hand. Madotsuki also reaches for the Yuki-onna, though it flees from her, which results in Madotsuki chasing after it. Madotsuki scoops up the Yuki-onna, holding it close as the small creature becomes docile, simply resting in her arms. As Madotsuki cradles the Yuki-onna, the blizzard obscures where the igloo cluster was, and the Yuki-onna begins to melt into water as Madotsuki is simply left standing in the cold snowscape.

Suddenly, Madotsuki spots another igloo in the distance, though it is strangely alone instead of in a group. She approaches, only for the head of a strange creature to emerge from the snow hut, causing Madotsuki to express great disgust. A single Toriningen appears, simply standing around as Madotsuki observes its odd facial features. Disgusted by the creature, Madotsuki instead collects some of the snow around the igloo only to find a familiar sight: the stoplight she previously obtained in the Dense Woods. Despite the stoplight shattering in the White Desert, she pulls it out of the snow and puts it over her head. As the Toriningen walks towards Madotsuki, she flicks the stoplight's red light and tells the creature to stop, comically petrifying the Toriningen in place. Now that it has been stopped, Madotsuki turns to run from the Toriningen, though she trips over some snow and once again breaks the stoplight into bits. The Toriningen unfreezes and continues to wander about, though Madotsuki quickly runs away. She comes across a bed, another out-of-place object in the dream world, and leaps in as the Toriningen draws close. While under the covers, the Toriningen patrols nearby as Madotsuki looks for something in the bed to help her out. She once again finds the Yuki-onna and holds it close, though it transforms into a pair of clothing resembling the one the Yuki-onna wears. Madotsuki changes under the bed's covers and emerges, resembling a Yuki-onna to confront the Toriningen. Uninterested in her new appearance, the Toriningen walks away as Madotsuki lets out a sigh of relief. Now with the tall creature gone, Madotsuki looks about for another igloo, this time finding one with a small, discolored spring inside. She reaches out to the water of the spring, splashing it onto her face, though she quickly finds herself in another world entirely.

The Pink Sea surrounds Madotsuki as she finds herself in the world's expansive body of water. She playfully splashes through the water before climbing onto one of the sea's rocky islands. Beside her floats a single balloon, which she grabs onto. The balloon floats upward and takes Madotsuki across the sea, flowing in the wind before deflating and landing next to another balloon, which Madotsuki grabs onto again. Madotsuki is taken into the sky, so high that the environment grows cold and her breath grows visible. She wiggles her arms and legs in a panic before seeing another island below. Letting go of the balloon, she falls straight onto the island, though she is unharmed despite landing on her back. Before Madotsuki is a large tent made up of many colors, which she enters, finding that inside is a cute room with a soft bed, pictures depicting landscapes, and neatly arranged books on a bookshelf and desk. Dazed by the comforting room, Madotsuki suddenly notices that there was another girl standing before her all along. Poniko suddenly speaks, apologizing for the mess and questioning if Madotsuki needs anything, to which Madotsuki simply responds with a light muffled sound.

Part 2: Me

Poniko, confused about what to say to Madotsuki, calms herself and welcomes her visitor. She offers Madotsuki to sit on the cushion in her room, though Madotsuki continues to show no reaction and simply stares at Poniko. Madotsuki wanders toward the bookshelf to look at Poniko's books, though they are revealed to all be identical, having the contents of Madotsuki's dream diary within all of them. Some familiar worlds such as "Red Umbrella" and "Stoplight" are scrawled inside, though there are various fainter words that are not quite clear, such as "Frog", "Witch", and "Lamp". Some other words, not as pleasant, appear in the diary such as "Severed Head". Poniko continues to show the book to Madotsuki, telling her that she wants to escape the nightmarish dream world, which she is assumes is also Madotsuki's goal.

The following do not have a batch listing on their patch notes or .json files (or I just haven't found them yet lol). Most of them are likely due to them being "default" badges that were added to the game before badge proposals were made after release.

Yume Nikki fans powerscaling their characters from a game with zero fighting

Okay but like what if they hypothetically just all started fighting like this would be so cool

Alley Demon	I don't think this thing does anything. Like does it just look scary at things because all it does is walk.
Aztec Rave Monkey	Is both a normal being as well as a background for two worlds. Could it technically be sentient land? Does this mean it's GIANT and could just easily destroy two different worlds if it wanted?
Batsu	Actual plant they just dance around. Can't move anywhere. People will chop these down and eat the eyes like fruits.
Big Red	HUGE CREATURE IT COULD DEFINITELY DESTROY A LOT! Literally contains all of Windmill World this instantly kills a grand total of two characters unless they somehow find a way to destroy him from the inside.
Black Cat	It's just sort of a cat. Same situation as the Frog where it's really just some animal I mean a cat has like sharp teeth and claws and it's agile it'd probably be a good companion?
Bloody Touching Monster	ANother giant that could easily destroy things. Limited to Uboa's Trap though... If anything touches Uboa then they get sent to this monster and they basically instantly die.
Body Parts	Assuming they can collectively do things they could probably be pretty strong. Legs can move about and kick. Arms can throw punches, grab things, scratch things, and maybe move around. Mouth can bite but can't really move. The eyes just sort of sit there and look around.
Brain Creature	One of the four huge creatures of the White Desert. It's stuck in the ground and also in-between two tiny holes in heads so idk if it's able to get out of there.
Buyo Buyo	I don't think this thing can do anything I mean it died to the Seahorse already so it's proven it can't fight back. If you threw it it would probably be like a bouncy ball or it would make a dodgeball noise lmao.
Closet Creature	They hide in their closets because they know the horrors of war await for them outside People could probably throw them as a heavy projectile lol
Closet Madotsuki	Basically the god-like Madotsuki but they don't come out of this one closet and probably can't do anything god-like Same situation as the Closet Creature just throw them
Cube Guru	I don't think this thing can do that much it sort of sits there. It's a guru so maybe it has like meditation maybe they are secretly super strong
Dave Spector	Another thing that sort of just walks around If someone kills one of them and enters that one tunnel they could get access to either Monoe or the Severed Heads but they get to choose only one of the two.
Dekishi-san	Literally drowning and waving for help. Can't even swim probably can't fight.
Dropfish	Able to swim but I don't think it can leave the water. Other than that it just swims and flashes colors there isn't much. For some reason I imagine somebody carrying it around and just squeezing it like a water gun so maybe just a harmless weapon.
Dwarf	Super fast and small so obviously pretty agile and hard to hit. Also wields a sword but it's super small so imagine toothpick levels of power.
E-Man	Looks weird but he's largely just a normal dude. Don't think he really does anything I mean he'd probably just be sitting in his chair this entire fight
Eye People	TONS of them. They might be stuck behind the Eye Box though I don't know if they could get out of there somehow but if they can you have yourself an army with good eyesight.
FACE	Okay so basically it's like a Pandora's Box situation where FACE can't move or do anything to move but if you specifically go to its door and open it you will instantly die as well as unleash an unholy force upon the war that will result in great death. Basically like a nuke but not even you survive. It just takes over everything.
Falling Men	They just sort of fall in the distance and probably don't do anything else. Probably normal people anyway
FC Demon	Can probably summon lightning and thunder another NPC with magical powers. Maybe also has the power to teleport between locations like in the FC World and FC House?
Fisherman	I think he's just a normal dude he just likes to fish. Okay imagine how people use fishing rods for combat in Minecraft he would probably try that and immediately get beaten up.
Fleebie	Runs away from things it's probably not useful. It is another ghost though so it's probably got the same deal with only ghost characters being able to hit or kill them.
Floyag	Idk what these things would even do like they look like they could be threatening but in what way???? They sort of just float there and stare at you genuinely what would they do...
Follony	Another ghost character, same ghost rules. Not much difference from the Nopperabou Ghost and Fleebie.
Frog	A literal frog. Not much else to say just imagine a normal frog in a fight. There is more than one so they already have at least one good thing. Double frog alliance.
Ghostmen	Also ghost rules. Again, not much they really do to signify they could hurt anybody.
Goblins	They have their own little army and they wield swords. Large one could probably do some damage. Small ones too. Sort of like the situation with the Dwarf but they are normal-sized.
Goppa	Probably stationary and stuck in the Footprint Path. Tbh these things look like they would die easily even if they have that giant mouth thing.
Guillotine	It's an object and can't really move but it's a guillotine and could probably actually kill things in very specific situations. Toriningens from Guillotine World could probably use it and carry it as a weapon. If you want to be super technical there are two of them so you have like dual blades if the Toriningen just decided to destroy them both solely for their blades like that would be so awesome like imagine some cool double-blade-wielding Toriningen like actually so cool.
Henkei Shita	Okay it would be pretty cool if these things got up and walked around because they are like very tanky-looking characters. Betting they could genuinely do some damage if they went into battle.
Isee	What do they do they are just eyes????? Isee type stare
Ittan-momen	Based on the yokai that flies and strangles people to death so yeah already a threat. It's basically made of paper you could destroy this thing easily with like fire or your bare hands.
Jellyfish	They sort of only appear when there's death so expect these things to be everywhere. I imagine these things wouldn't even fight like one would appear every time somebody dies and they would just be sort of standing on the battlefield ominously and won't react to anything.
KALIMBA	Not real. Stuck inside a TV. There are possibly an infinite number of them and yet they are stuck inside a TV this is so sad.
Kamakurako	Just sleeps all day. Does nothing. Actual small child. Can not fight.
Kimajo	It's a short dead tree I don't think it could do that much. I imagine somebody would find them, cut them down, and use them as a battering ram just so they didn't feel bad about their inability to move.
Kinoko-san	Wait these could probably be commanded by the FC Demon they are kinda like their pets. Idk what they would do though probably hop around at most. Release spores?
Kisu-Tenmetsu	Sort of the same situation with Dropfish where it just swims and flashes colors. I think somebody will probably just like grab it out of the water and flash it in people's faces like a strobe as a weapon.
KyuuKyuu-kun	To be honest he looks happy where he is he'd probably just take hits if he was found and die smiling. Probably not even fight back either that or he'd slither away like a worm lol.
Lizardmen	There are multiple spread throughout FC World A and B they could probably form an alliance. They sort of just wander around and speak numbers idk what they would do.
Madotsuki	Literal god of all of these things. Wakes up and they all disappear. Utilizes the effects. Actual child. Would probably get destroyed if they got hit by anything lethal.
Madotsuki's Ghost	Also follows ghost rules but it's Madotsuki so hypothetically could it be just as powerful? Could it collect effects? Imagine Madotsuki but can't be hit or killed by things that aren't ghosts this would be extremely powerful.
Mafurako	I don't think the invisibility will do a lot unless she's just not wearing the hat and scarf. Can teleport which is pretty good.
Mall Shoppers	They are literally just normal people that look weird. Maybe the distortion they get could be of some advantage? No clue how that could be helpful though.
Manhole-sama	One of the four big White Desert creatures. Only thing it can really do is move its tentacles out of holes in the ground and that's it. Probably some good trap it just can't really move.
Mars-san	He's big and he looks like he could do some damage but he's too depressed and just stands there and cries. Even then how is he going to fight? He's stuck underground and the only exit is a tiny hole. Even if he breaks through, he's literally on another planet alone.
Maussan Bros	Literally the Mall Shoppers but no distortion effects. Some normal dudes. They just stand there what else do they do? You could push them off the cliff they stand on since they're distracted so often.
Medamaude	It's an arm so it could probably grab things and throw some punches. Can maybe move with its fingers. Medamaude effect so probably teleporting powers? That'd be pretty cool.
Merutomaro	It doesn't really do a lot. It's made of slime so maybe it's just really hard to harm since it's just a pile of goop?
Mizume	Water creature that just sort of...sits there. Doesn't even move I assume it's either useless in battle or super powerful.
Monoe	Teleportation powers again which is good. That's really all they have to be honest.
Monoko	Gets literally five arms they could do a lot with that. They spin during the event you know they would whip those moves out in the middle of a fight.
Mouth Monsters	Like 40% mouth with giant teeth they could do serious bite damage but they are just like blobs of hair. Poop Hair one is just located all the way down in Underground World how is it going to get anywhere but the Spaceship with the fire in the way.
Namekuji	Also ghosts. More ghost rules. Idk they could probably drown other ghosts in their spit lol or just annoy them by hovering over them constantly.
NASU	Doesn't exist lol. Not counting the event in 0.09 since it's unused. Like seriously what would this thing do in a fight? Jump? Eat eggplants? C'mon.
Nekoin	It just spins around and is cute and small Actually it probably gives good fortune or something to those it fights alongside? It's located in Shield-Folk World and they have an entire army which would be extremely overpowered if they just had one coin that gives luck and fortune.
Nenrikido	They don't even seem to be sentient? Are they just objects that move around? They honestly just seem sort of helpful for getting to locations rather than wanting to fight.
Neon Creatures	There are so many of them like Neon World alone consists of an army + their labyrinth They could actually swarm people if they wanted to and just kill them.
Neon Parrot	I think this is just the same as Strober it just sort of flashes colors and not much else. Part of the Neon World army so it's basically just one unique guy among a ton of same-looking guys.
Nopperabou Ghost	Literal ghost so idk if it can die or be hit (let's just assume other ghosts can hit each other). This thing doesn't really do much either.
Nopperabou Witches	They are witches so maybe they practice magic? Other than that they just sort of stand about.
O-Man	Sort of like E-Man he just sits there but instead of doing nothing he plays music. I imagine he just starts playing appropriate fight music while sitting in the middle of the battlefield.
Onsen-san	Pretty big in size but they don't really do anything. Can they even get up like they look like they can't really stand well?
Organoid	Another teleporter but they teleport as soon as you get close they are like extremely particular with teleporting. Again not much else they just teleport.
Pain Blob	Probably can't do much other than roll. They would likely be attacked and feel immense amounts of pain but would still survive and not die so they just live in pain.
Pier Monsters	Sort of just heads sticking out of the ground. They don't really do anything.
Pirori	These things are located everywhere they could probably take over quickly. A whole VILLAGE dedicated to these things they already have set up camp. They could probably just slap people and they get teleported wherever lol
Pissipissini	Just sort of hide in the dark. They turn invisible if scared so that may make them...okay.
Poniko	Considering she and Uboa are the same she might be super strong. Gotta walk across ALL that water to do anything lol
Seahorse	Has canonically killed Buyo Buyo it has zero mercy in its dark soul. The Pirori probably plucked it from the ground and use it as a weapon to drain the insides of enemies while keeping the Seahorse fed.
Sea Snake	Just a literal snake that swims. Could probably just be used as a real snake. Extra deadly if venomous.
Seccom Masada	To be honest he would probably just flee immediately. He has an entire vehicle he can pilot he would definitely just shoot into space to not deal with any of this. No clue what he would do other than that he would just fly away and never return.
Severed Blue Head	Literally just a gate it barely moves. If somebody is dumb enough to go near it or attempt going into its mouth for the Footprint Path they WILL die and it will be one of this creature's few wins in this war.
Severed Heads	Sorta just float around and not much else. Someone could probably pick them up and throws them and they immediately lose all traction and float back upward lol.
Shield Folk	Genuinely prepared for battle. All of them have shields and can form phalanxes. Actual army awaiting in a single world just like Neon and Number World. Betting they own other weapons.
Shitai-san	Okay he LOOKS dead but the Cat effect makes him twitch so he's like on the edge of death. Does this hypothetically make him some sort of being between the living and dead realms that allows him to interact with the normal characters and ghost characters and he by some extremely small chance could kill all of them if he was strong but the only thing limiting him is the fact he's a corpse and lost a large amount of blood and can't get up and do anything like could he get up like a zombie and just start throwing hands with both alive entities and ghosts?
Steve Kareha	Snail. Think about if a snail entered a fight. Think about it.
Strober	I don't think this thing does anything other than eat and flash colors it doesn't do that much. Pretty tall I guess?
Submarine Fish	Another swimming creature situation where they just sort of swim around and nothing else. Likes to stay submerged? Maybe just hidden during the whole thing.
Takofuusen	One of the four large White Desert creatures. The only one that isn't stuck in some small space and can actually fly freely. Probably could be used as transport if someone is able to get on it.
Tasei's Kid	Just the entry above but they can't submerge underwater. They don't even swim around they just lay in the water.
Thing with the Quivering Jaw	One of the four large White Desert creatures. Just imagine a humungous beast that can be tamed to destroy things. Stuck in a small space though so no idea how it'd get out of where it resides. Probably just eats anyone who attempts to enter its area to tame it lol.
Tokuto-kun	Probably can't even stay upright they will fall over and spill everything. Probably extremely shy too idk why they would just not want to fight they have stick limbs.
Toriningen	Genuinely think they would be one of the most overpowered forces during this war. They are literally everywhere in the dream world. Also has a group dynamic that is an IN-GAME FUNCTION. They would immediately attempt to destroy everyone.
Train Passengers	They sort of just sit in the train and that's it... If they got a hold of how the traincar works though they could probably destroy a lot.
Uboa	Genuinely one of the strongest characters. Just charge into battle and if anything even touches you they are sent into a looping trap where you're then destroyed by the Bloody Touching Monster.
UFOs	No clue how big they are but if they're like Masada's ship they could probably put up a fight if they have weapons strapped to the ship. They sort of just hover in the distance though and observe so idk what they would be doing during this time.
Walking Candles	They just walk. Imagine having absolutely nothing notable about you other than walking around and it's literally in your name that all you do is walk.
Walking Eye	Also just walks. Probably good eyesight idk. Same joke with the Walking Candles.
Walking Lamp	idk man this thing is just a lamp with shoes like can it even see. You could shatter this dude by kicking him.
Warpo and Loople	They might know their way around the Teleport Maze? They do not do much.
Wheelies	They are sooooo many of them they also have an army. Most abundant in the whole game. They don't have arms but they can kick things and they are wheels so they could just ram into anything probably.
Yuki-onna	Mythical creature that has ice powers and can create snow storms. Pretty powerful. Super small can literally be punted like a football. Also super shy just runs away from stuff.
Zippertile	Literally a piece of a wall. It's whole existence is being stabbed. Maybe a reliable guard for the horrid FACE.
