This is almost like an actual nightmare, it represents the loneliness and trauma of Modotsuki, this dream diary of hers helps her in finding a way to share her feelings without having to communicate, some people are instructed by their therapists to write diaries about how they feel, if they think they'll be blamed by talking to someone about it, Modotsuki's dreams represent how she feels, how her trauma affects her, you often get dreams about something that you often think about, or something you have experienced, Modotsuki's imagination comes from her trauma, she doesn't want to leave her room because she doesn't want to repeat the past, and she doesn't talk to others about it because she is afraid of judgement.

do you mean madotsuki.

[@sirdreamyn5957]

i like your theory, but the game itselfs it's so ambiguous that i believe the game tries to show how madotsuki its actually a mirror, a mirror that shows you how the world of the dreams works

[@Cramboing]

Perhaps this is a lucid dream, or possibly how madotsuki sees the world. Not implying that she is delusional, but implying that it is a representation.

[@trickyroad]

what impresses me is that it really looks like a dream, nothing makes sense if you play the game for the first time. but with time you stop to think about the thoughts of this little girl, because our dreams contain our traumas and thoughts, but all of them are placed in a messy and confused way in dreams. but at the same time they are a real representation of what happened in real life, but, in a way that your head represented the situation. it can be more traumatic and horrifying or it also can be so calm and innocent... depends on how your mind kept that memory and that scene in yourself.

[@trickyroad]

this girl certainly suffered big traumas. because in the way that the events of her life are represented in the dreams, full of weird drawings and people around being disfigured and mean to her, it really is noticeable that real life was not a very pleasant place for her. and those traumas and bad memories that she had to suffer out of her room ended up getting even more disturbing in a dream form. so when she finishes going through all those memories, she ends her life. ending years of pain and leaving one of the most painful prisons that was her own mind.

This game just has a weird feel to it. The sheer EMPTINESS of it. The fact that her WHOLE LIFE meant nothing, and it never will. If this never happened, there would be no difference. In most games, there are people who care about the main character. In most games, there are people who'll be affected by the main characters death. But not this game. In this game, her life is "lived" in an apartment room, with only her own mind to make up demented worlds to pass time, until she realizes that she is bored of life. She's tired of having to be interrupted by waking up in her real boring old room, so she finally wakes herself up.

[@simonghoul3602]

Well, the game can be interpreted in multiple ways, some of these being -LSD Dream Simulator -Lucid dream simulator -Just some dreams and some fun, characters have feelings and can be friendly (Goboa :3) -The manga story, I remember it vaguely, a novel theme and saving the dream world I guess. I would say in the game you explore the dream world, the story is more linear to the main story -Actually makes no sense, all the game is about is to enjoy what it is -Something awful and unspeakable happened to Madotsuki, it was done against her will (sorry for the censor, KZbin would had deleted this comment if I edited without doing that) -Madotsuki is just a heavy shut in and is afraid of most people or all -She commited suicide because she thought she was still dreaming -She has some sort of mental disorder that makes her hallucinate -Yume Nikki 3D theory (fangame, slightly linear) -Yume Nikki Remake related theory? (never heard one) Any other ways to interpret this? Also, stop being meanies, let people enjoy making theories and adding more to an amazing game, and don't be annoying about getting people on your theory or mock them for theirs Edit: I didn't really come up with all of these, this was more of a observation, just takingnotes. What I did was read the comments and take note of what theories everyone had (I don't remember if I also took it from other videos or other comments sections), I also just know these remakes exist, and goboa has a cute way to interpret it

[@sd11236]

I don’t really agree with the whole rape theory, but these are definitely the dreams of a clearly troubled person. This is not even because Madotsuki commits suicide or whatever. The atmosphere of almost every area is eerie and melancholic. There are only a handful of places which don’t give off a persistently creepy feel to them. One example that comes to mind is the Pink Sea, but even that area leads to the house containing the Uboa event. There are pretty nightmarish events to be witnessed all across the game. FACE, Uboa, the crazed Toriningen. Lesser known are events like the FC wall “glitch”. But what intrigues me most about Yume Nikki is the feeling of loneliness the game gives off. You’re thrust into these bizarre places with either very few NPCs or NPCs that you can’t interact with, ignoring you. This ties in well with the likelihood of the main character being a shut in and likely not interacting with very many people at all. Perhaps Madotsuki either got tired of these chronic nightmares or her lonely lifestyle and decided to put an end to it all...

[@OneReallyGrumpyJill]

People said that Yume Nikki is a super dark horror game. All I can see, however, is an artistic avant-garde game with scary elements. Am I missing something? To me it, lowkey, feels like a bunch of people tried to be 'mature' by seeing 'how dark' this game was but, instead, they just acted edgy. This game honestly feels like a dream that can be interpreted however you want. As far as my opinion goes, I think it is just a dream, that's it. I mean, I have no trauma but I can have some fucked up dreams because 1) Dreams be like that and 2)I watch a lot of anime and play a lot of games. So, for all we know, it could be just dreams.

[@caramel9154]

I think they're talking about the most popular plot line when they say it's 'dark'

[@darkzero226]

I wouldn't really call it "edgy" or a horror game. The game is really fairly tame with it's imagery, and while the game has some creepy or frightening elements, that's not what the game is about. It's about exploration and experimentation. All the praise the game gets is from people trying to figure out what it all means, and why fulfilling the only real "goal" of the game leads to the character committing suicide, and trying to figure out what role the characters and events you see play in the decision. The mystery around the game is really the big draw for people. Even the sole creator of the game itself is a mystery, never having said a word about the game or the rumors/theories. (Although they probably just don't respond to westerners) If you want something that's actually dark and edgy, look into ".flow" which was inspired by Yume Nikki. Everything in that game is a lot more blatant in it's intent to scare/creep you out. Yume Nikki? not so much.

Wether she was raped, has survivor’s guilt, or was bullied are all besides the point. It’s less about traumatic experiences and more about the experience of being traumatized.

Yeah you're right, it all kinda just, feels like the essence of being in that traumatic moment.

[@marioandtyler]

Yes, there are lots of references to old Mesoamerican civilizations (a lot of designs take inspiration from Peruvian textiles) like the Aztecs, Paracas, Nazcans and Incans, just as there is Japanese culture. Whether or not this has meaning is up for debate.

[@TokimoSoda]

This is almost like an actual nightmare, it represents the loneliness and trauma of Madotsuki, this dream diary of hers helps her in finding a way to share her feelings without having to communicate, some people are instructed by their therapists to write diaries about how they feel, if they think they’ll be blamed by talking to someone about it, Matdotsuki’s dreams represent how she feels, how her trauma affects her, you often get dreams about something that you often think about, or something you have experienced. Matdotsuki’s imagination comes from her trauma, she doesn’t want to leave her room because she doesn’t want to repeat the past and she doesn’t talk to others about it because she is afraid of judgement. This game is a work of art.

[@theoev]

this game is a masterpiece. it really shows the potential of gaming as an artform, in my opinion. this is an experience that can only be had in a video game. of course there are movies and books that are confusing, abstract, and filled with heavy symbolism (eraserhead and house of leaves are great!) but they can't really immerse you like this game does, because it's not you who's exploring a strange world, you're just watching other people do it for you. it's incredible. you could show this game to 100 people and all of then will have different interpretations of it.

My favorite is the Pink Sea. It has a calming soundtrack but hides a terribly deep secret in a normal house in the middle of a sea you wouldn't expect anything terrible from. It's so mysterious but calming and peaceful. Sometimes I wish I lived in the middle of the Pink Sea, but that would be hard since there is no food and the atmosphere is mysterious. Sometimes I feel like I don't have any safety when turning off lights like there is a monster haunting me. That's the circumstance of UBOA. What about you, guys? Your favorite soundtrack and place?

It’s just doing your own thing. too bad so many people in the comments section can’t appreciate the simplicity of this game.

This game in my head Cannon, takes place after the defeat of Giygas. Madostuki, is a young woman living alone in her own apartment room. Lonely and depressed, she contemplates over the thought of taking her own life. Or just continue to live. Out of options, she goes to sleep, after playing with her video game. Too depressed to go outside too. She goes in to her own dreamscape. To find the pieces missing in her Id. Unbeknownst to her, she actually has psychic powers. Fortunately, these powers are not being used to fight evil like Ness and his friends. These powers are used to fight The evil that is her own depression. Those pieces that must be used, so that her sanity and common Sense can be restored. So that she may change her mind or go on with what she wants to do with herself......

To be honest.... this game is really confusing. why suicide at the end? "its a dream" your only in dream with the items, but at the end, your awake. Are there any other endings? whats the reason of the worlds? who are those characters she sees? why cant she get out of the room? Its all so confusing. i dont think its trauma. something deeper is in it. Not exactly dark, but something else... Altough, beautifull game.
