I haven't had any Touhou-related dreams in recent memory (in fact, I can't remember any recent dreams at all :ohdear:), but I do clearly remember two that I had a few months ago.  (Isn't it weird how some dreams just stick in our memories while others fade within days?  I can still remember a dream I had when I was 5, for instance). 

Annyyywaaayyy, the first one I remember was back from before I 1CC'd UFO on Normal.  I dreamed that I 1CC'd the game and perfected the Extra Stage.

Errr,  yeah.  That's it. :3

Moving on, about a week or so after that dream, I had my first, and last (so far), vivid dream (like a "realistic" dream, not a "literal" dream where you're playing the game).  I don't remember the details, but all I remember was that I was in some nice Japanese garden or something, and Yukari was doing NSFW "stuff" with one of my friends, who seemed to be controlling her.  This, obviously, made me rage big-time.  However, somehow due to my liking of Yukari, I had adopted her boundary-manipulating powers (Oh dream logic ::)........).  I then manipulated the boundary of "Truth and Lies", thus making this whole incident as if it was a "lie"--In other words, it never happened.  My friend and I, however, retained memories of what had happened.  Yukari looked at me confused and asked me what happened.  Using telepathy, I showed Yukari a vision of what had been going on just a few moments earlier.  She then got really pissed and was moving toward my friend, preparing to attack.

Aaaand then I woke up.

Had a dream Tasforo released a Guilty Gear-like Touhou fighting game with Daisuke Ishiwatari doing character theme remixes.

Look at Yukari, now back to Reimu, now back to Yukari, now back to Reimu. Sadly, her armpits are not seen. But if you donate to the Hakurei Shrine Yukari's armpits can feel like they're Reimu's.
Look down, back up. Where are you?
You're in Gensokyou, with the woman the hag could have armpits like. What's in the gap? Back to Yukari. It's two tickets down the Sanzu river. Look again.
The tickets are now pads!
Everything is possible when Yukari smells like Reimu and not like an old hag. We're on a train.

Just in time! Hahahha.

A week ago I had a dream where Yukari and I were fighting in one of the public bath places. For no reason. (We were both clothed!)

Posted it earlier in /jp/, then I remembered we had a thread here :D

Oh yes, last night actually. I dreamt that I was walking downstairs, the lights were out and there was only moonlight showing me the way. The stairs were much longer than usual, so I realised I was having lucid dream. Felt somewhat curious, I kept walking, the windows were opened, and a wind blew in. I walked down and down, until it got pitch dark and the stairs was still going down. Some eyes appeared, like Yukari's gaps. I was like "Fuck yeah" and started running down, hoping to see what I wanted to see.

But no, the stairs was fucking long, so long to reach the end. I stopped by a huge mirror to breath. Then I saw my reflection smiling at me, and behind me was Yukari. She said something, but because she was inside the mirror, I couldn't hear. And I couldn't lipread, so damn, I tried to jump into the mirror. It worked. I was then in another place, a big, long corridor. Like some old european castle, lit with candles and portraits on the wall. There were Patchouli, Remilia, Flandre, Yukari, Eirin, Yuuka, Mima, and 3 or 4 other girls I've never seen before. Their names weren't written in Japanese and I could only recall Mima's:

"Agatha Elisabeth von Berahthram"

Because I was staring at her portrait. Anyway, There was a door at the end of the corridor, decorated with a middle-age-ish magic circle but had a huge Yin-Yang in the middle. The door was attracting me, as if telling me to open it. I ran to it but my legs went heavy, too heavy to even move. Some portraits started laughing, especially Flandre's, Mima's. But Eirin's and Yukari's just staring at me, seriously. I tried to move my leg, but no use, I looked at the portraits, asking for help, but they were either laughed, or stared at me. It was long, fucking long, the longest dream I've ever had, I felt really hopeless. Then I wanted to pee. The urge became unbearable and woke me up.

Strange, wasn't it?

All I remember from this dream was that most of the touhou characters were asleep in the room just outside of the one one where I was sleeping.
And Marisa had Chen's hat in her mouth. I don't get it.

Had a dream that Remilia was my younger sister. As per the usual with my irl sister, we got into a verbal 'fight to the death' which involved me saying how much I hated her and that I would bitch slap her.  Remi didn't think I would do it and said something along the lines of 'you're too much of a chicken to hit me~'.

I wasn't having any of THAT shit, so I turned around and gave her a 3 hit combo; backhand -> grab head and slam it into wall -> headbutt finisher.

With that out of the way, and me talking smack, Remilia sat on the ground for a good minute or two before her face pruned up and she started crying like a baby seal.

...I felt like I my heart was going to twist itself into oblivion...

Lesson = I don't really hate my sister as much as I say...I just hate the way she acts...

I had a dream that a little Sanae just arrived at Gensokyo and was feeling lonely. Iku came down the road and spotted her crying. Sanae asked if they could be friends, and Iku, being the nice lady that she is, said yes. Then Sanae gave her a big hug.

It was quite cute, but when I woke up, I felt like I was reading some doujinshi (Talk about a crack pairing). All the color in my dream turned into black-and-white panels the more I thought about it. Man.

That reminds me of a dream I had a few weeks ago. It looked like I was reading a doujin in the style of Shachiku20002 (same artist who did Bunjutsu FF Fortissimo/Fantasy. It was something of a first person view. The scenario went like this.

1st panel:
"Okuu, will you marry me?"

2nd panel:
Utsuho: "Sorry, but I have Orin."

3rd panel:
Utsuho turns to Orin behind her, who gives her a thumbs up in response.

Oh man, I forgot all about this thread. Anyway, I wrote down a dream I had a few days ago.

I was walking in a field, when I come across Kaguya laying face down in the middle of it. She was dead, so I paid my respects to her before leaving. However, just as I took a few steps away, she revived. She then walked up to me, asking me if I could take her Impossible Requests and have Sakuya use their power to travel back in time so that she could prevent Mokou's father from getting killed. All of this happened according to plan, and Mokou and Kaguya became close friends after that.

I don't know if Sakuya can actually use her powers like that, but it was a great dream otherwise.

Usually I have 1-2 dreams/week where characters from Gensokyo are featured, sometimes only cameo appearances and sometimes they're part of the main plot. And my dreams usually makes sence, the only things that aren't normal is if character from games/book appear, because they usually aren't weaker then the original :x It's a good thing to write your dreams down ~
I often think about to make storys out of them, but well, I'm to lazy.

My favorites thus far... (Is it okay to write that much with my bad english?)
A virus spread worldwide and turned around 90% of it's inhabitants into zombies. I was part of a group of survivors from germany, which managed to contact a few other groups of survivors out there. After we met via trains in Berlin we tried to contact other survivors in Europe - and a few days later - groups from France, Italy and Poland said that they all want to go to Britain because the virus isn't widely spread there; mostly at the area around the "Channel Tunnel", because many other infected people tried to go there. Some people there also said it's like a really big island so we would be mostly safe after getting rid of the infected there... So we tried to go there, again via train.
But there was one thing that made me curious... We had one single train with 3 railway carriages total. But all the people were put in the first two; so I asked what's with the third one. Our leader, an old geezer that looked a bit like Kinzo Ushiromiya from Umineko no Naku Koro ni then told me that "A powerful girl is in there, and she said she wants to help us if we escort her to a quiet place, away from those rotten corpses. Don't go in there, you could startle the witch." (Obviously a L4D reference in my dream ::)).
I couldn't hesitate to look in there when everyone except the guards were asleep, and the one I saw in there was... YUUKA! I was shocked and wondered why someone from Gensokyo is here in our world?.. Why at this time, when something that horrifying like a Zombie Virus Outbreak has happened? I decided to leave the room because I didn't want to stretch out my luck even further, so I went inside my bed an fell asleep...
That old geezer waked me up next morning, said that I should go out with 4 other people to gather some fuel for the train, while the other ones were gathering general supplies. When everyone was away I thought about asking Yuuka if she could help us... And it was nearly a wonder, Yuuka said yes and the six of us went out! I thought about what magic Yuuka is going to use... But unfortunately she "just" took her parasol and slashed to the zombie hordes. A Double Spark would have been much more amazing...
Thanks to her we managed to get much fuel which I and the other 4 "normal" people carried, while Yuuka defended us from the zombies. We were back at the train in no time, only to see that around half of our crew has been overrun by zombies. Yuuka swirled her parasol around and killed the few remaining undeads with normal hits - but we couldn't help the others. Around 25 people of the crew died, just because I asked Yuuka to come with us...
There were a few other train stops, but because everyone was outside the train only 5 people died on our way to the Channel. The only thing that changed is that the zombies grew... more resistant and aggressive. Some of them also showed weird mutations, like a bigger chest or bigger feet. But it looks like that only hinders them more then their rotten flesh to get us.
Well, we nearly reached our destination. We were near the Channel. Surprisingly no one was inside, not even a zombie. We made it to Britain, with only 30 sacrifices... But the problem was that survivors broke the railway, in order hinder more infected people coming. After discussing were we should travel I saw someone outside of the window of the train... It was Yuuka. She was smiling, and went alone to a little town. A few people, including myself, chased her in order to bring her back - but it seemed like she ignored us. When we reached the village there were more zombies then we saw during our whole trip, and that was the last time we saw her... she slashed her way through them, and we couldn't follow her... I only picked up a note which said "Yuuka, usual meeting spot.". I wondered were that is?..
After we went back to the train we saw that everyone already left; there was only another note, this time from the old geezer... It said: "Sorry, but we're short in ressources, and we had to abandon someone, so we took our opportunity. Don't take it personal, ya?".
Then we went out to search Yuuka, because it looked like the safest place in this world is at her side...
That's when I woke up. When there's a sequel dream I'll write it down, I usually have atleast one sequel-dream every half year :x And I don't know if it's ok to write so much down...

There is another one, but I'm to lazy to write it down :/

Suwako is a character in Tekken starting from Tekken 4 if I remember correctly, and I believe that she also looks more and more matured, not to mention taller, in each game.  Yeah, it's a realistic-looking Suwako.

EDIT: The dream is mainly about Suwako in Tekken 6, though I only saw pictures of her and not gameplay footage.

I can remember only 2 or maybe I only had 2 in the first place.

The first one was that I was in this mall/huge building. I was going around checking the shops or other areas. As I made it to the roof, I passed out. When I came to, my head was lying on Reisen's lap. When I looked around, it was like a garden and I realized that top of the building was Eientei. And I was still lying down with my head on Reisen's lap on a bench under a tree with Eientei at the back, kinda similar to the one in Persona 3 with the main char's head on Aigis' lap, and enjoying the moment.

In the second one, I was Yuuka's boyfriend. But in it, it was nightime and we were at the human village. I think a festival or some special occasion was going on since there were crowds of other characters. So what I did was got on top of the roofs and other posts in the village, used my 2 kodachi's to shoot danmaku towards the sky and make them explode into fireworks, while dedicating it all to Yuuka. Everybody was smiling and watching, it felt kidna sweet.

Oh hey, just recently woke up from one today.
Can't remember all of it though, so don't shoot the messenger. :V

Anyhow, the two main characters were Remi and Flan.
Remi was going all nutso-evil and stuff, and starting another incident.
Flan was trying to stop her apparently. I never actually appeared until the very end, like it was a movie almost.
Oddly enough, Flan had these weird creatures that were kinda like Pokemon/Digimon/Duel Monsters.
Only they were pretty sentient, almost like they were her servants.

I remember that one of them got captured by Remi and brainwashed or something, and it eventually got defeated, but didn't live.
The monster that Flan used also failed to survive, which was pretty sad...it was a really heartbreaking moment.
Eventually, all of her monster-things died protecting her, and once she made it to the top of the clock tower where Remi was, the fight began.
The incident Remi was kicking up had something to do with a storm and causing a great danger to Gensokyo.
The fight was like something outta DBZ or something, they were flying, and going super fast and using physical attacks.
It was awesome, yet at the same time strangely tragic. It was kinda like a movie really.
I remember that Flan had about...four or so of the monster-things.

Right about when I woke up, Remi was about to dish a hit that would've won the fight for her, but something blocked it and I woke up.
I'm convinced that what blocked it was me....But I wasn't seeing it from the PoV of the blocker, nor was I seeing it from Flan's PoV.
It was almost like I was watching a movie....

But if Remi was kicking up another Incident again, where were the incident solvers...?

My dreams kinda......cool? I guess...

Ok, so basically, it starts out with me (As my character Rogus) and Yuuka sitting in a big flower field, laughing and caring for the flowers there. We talked about stuff (PLEASE DONT ASK) and we had some fun. Then Ran comes running after us, and saying that Yukari was missing, and if we've seen her. We both shake our heads, and continue to search. After a while, we find Yukari fighting Kora (Another character i created) over the boarders. Yukari was starting to weaken, and so Yuuka jumps in, but starts to weaken as well. Rogus couldnt bear Koras behaviour any longer, and so, he used Oblivion Spark and crushed Kora. Afterwards, Rogus and Ran bring back Yuuka and Yukari to Reimu's place to rest. Yuuka woke a little before Yukari, stretched, and fell right back to sleep. Yukari woke up later and say Reimu bringing her tea. Yukari smiled, and sat up to drink her tea.

Reimu: You ok Yukari, you look like your gonna faint!
Yukari: Dont worry, im fine! Anyway, thanks for the tea....its really good!
Reimu: Oh! Thank you! (^_^) well, im gonna go with Marisa to go see Patchouli! Ran will be here for you. Hope you get better!
Yukari: Reimu!
Reimu: Yeah?
Yukari: ...Thanks...

Yukari and Reimu hug. Rogus and Ran smiled, and Yuuka slept.

Dream end!

Let's start with the dream proper and then move on to the boring part then, shall we?

It was not an overly elaborate dream. I was wandering some mostly desolate landscapes, or so I thought. I couldn't really feel myself either, but that's normal to me. And perhaps to everyone. (In dreams I'm an invincible entity mostly devoid of a physical body.) Mayhap that staying on the objective got me into some kind of tunnel vision and caused me to miss the details. In fact, while it all happened yesterday, all that's left is just general ideas.

Still, I did remember the vague feeling that the road ahead was long and very tough, perhaps to the level of unnaturalness. What I found interesting about the dream after I woke up is that I crossed the boundary of dreams somewhere along the way and actually knew that I was dreaming while I was dreaming, in a dream within a dream.

It wasn't actually any of the sick lucid dreaming (or better yet, Inception [I haven't watched this movie though, but I know the rough idea of it]) stuff as the farthest I got on that field was realising that I am dreaming, freaking out and immediately waking up without actually controlling the dreams.

There must have been a reason for my journey. One that caused me to cross from a dream to a dream in a dream and wander into the general area of Yukari's activity. The land on the other side of the boundary of two phantasms was mostly nondescript, too. Like a desert or a flat grassland. Or maybe it was just bright light everywhere. For all I know, it was just as unrealistic as dreams come, but in addition to that, I couldn't actually see much.

I must have actually been blinded by the light throughout the entire dream sequence. I reached Yukari somewhere in the dream within a dream and, skipping the introductions as I usually do (note how I did not even say "hi" to you folks even though it's my first post?), asked her in that funky spoken language we all can communicate in, that conveys thought without words, what exactly I was looking for and how to reach it. She seemed oblivious for a light-purplish blob/ball of light I can vaguely remember but the only thing I remember for sure, other than the fact that it was definitely her, is that she answered to me 'do not think too hard about it'. Quoting word for word, mind you. I was close to waking up at that point so maybe that's why I remember those words so clearly when my dreams become too real, they just make a transition into reality.

The dream then ended as I felt that I had to go to the toilet. But I couldn't sleep for good two hours after that - I was too busy thinking about that dream.

I do not usually think about them at all. I found it worth commemorating as it was my very first Touhou-related dream. Remotely, as it was extremely blank and while the only person in it was Yukari, she only played a little cameo in it, but still.

I am surprised that not so many people are dreaming of her, her being the great manipulator of boundaries between reality and fantasy among others, and all.



You know what? This is the part where you go all tl;dr: the part where I interpret this stuff.

I've been thinking with boundaries a lot recently. There was this person on those forums whose avatar drew my attention as I lurked them, two to three days ago. In it was Yukari standing next to a large ornate mirror with Maribel Hearn reflected in it. I've heard fantastic stories about the connections between the two so I decided to do some research on the Touhou Wiki. What I found exceeded my expectations. The complexity and sheer quantity of connections made it somewhat clear to me that Hearn and Yakumo are in fact the same person somehow.

Then, I checked out the CDs from ZUN's Soundtrack series, and read some of the translations of the short stories from the CDs which were actually pretty much the only canon sources of information about Hearn (I don't read manga, though, so...). Especially focusing on the later stories and keeping in mind what the wiki had to say about numerous and complex connections between Yukari and Maribel, not only did it shift my perception of Yakumo as a character by 360 degrees (on a 3d axis, so it didn't actually end up in the same place - but due to my poor understanding of mathematics I'm not really able to tell where it ended up anyway), it also made for quite a fascinating read as ZUN conveyed some philosophical thoughts through Maribel and her colleague, Renko.

It mostly concerned physics, astronomy, time and real life phenomena loosely intertwined with purely fantastical ideas.

But the most interesting aspect of it was, to me, Hearn. How she somehow managed to transgress the boundaries which lead her to a wonderland.

I like to develop this idea of Gensokyo being a huge psychiatric hospital, a collective consciousness of schizophreniacs disconnected from reality. A beautiful, oniric landscape of a mysterious asylum. That alone is like weakening the borders between reality and imagination, implying a possibility of such world existing to begin with.

And recently I've been putting up with lots of pressure. Despite it being summer, I cannot fully enjoy it as apparently having 3 absences from a certain series of lectures and classes is enough to get me dropped off from the university. This leads to all sorts of complications that just make me wish I could escape the hassle and live in another reality enclosed in a psychiatric hospital like my imagined Gensokyo, or better yet, just die.

It may be that a part of me is trying to reach escape velocity from this reality into another to run away from the world of troubles. And live in dreams.

Well it's unlikely to happen. Besides, you need to live the life for other people, not for yourself. Right? It's harder than it sounds, though. Or maybe unnecessary thinking is making this overly complicated. But probably not. It's simple, just hard.

And that is how a bland Touhou dream caused me to have a short period of insomnia and maddened thoughts.

And as I thought of it, a couple of various images flashed before my mind's eyes: "hard - for Gensokyo residents - for people who don't fit into this world", numbers for today's lottery (can't check them on the lottery's webpage just yet, but if they happen to be 6,7,8,24,36,48/42,.I will be surprised to say the least) - another way to leave the reality safely is to attain some sort of financial security after all, but it's nigh-impossible to get the six numbers correct spot-on, some kind of a border - greenish, slightly hexagonal web of lines made of unknown substance glowing against space or the sky, some famous people who made the difference, and their bios - they were almost all misfits. That's what my psyche tells me, though. Wikipedia may or may not agree. I really should check. The thought that there is a fine line between madness and ingenuity was also in there, too.

Good that I'm surrounded by lunatics - only lunatics or weird people would play these games anyway, yes? Despite ZUN saying in that one IN spell card's comment that he would like to make a game that everyone can enjoy, implying that mostly kids play them (might or might not be a mistranslation, but it might be accurate as well, with all these infamous stories of hardcore Asian players) - I shouldn't be standing out too much with my drivel. Oh God why is this so long?...

My most recent dream apparently included me briefly playing a modified version of the PCB Stage 6 spam, with a PC-98-colored Marisa summoning it like a nonspell.

But I perfected that stage (the original, that is) a couple weeks ago, don't know why it would suddenly pop back up now.

I woke up laughing with this one.
I was sitting in math class (Yeah you see whee this is going) when my math teacher started doing a super complex math problem on the board, to which the answer was 8.
All of a sudden I look behind me, and there sits Cirno yelling: "THATS WRONG!!"

I couldn't sit through math class without laughing again.

You must provide us with the real "complex math problem". :V

Cadrin - Ohohoho. What an interesting possible scenario - we're all mad here. But, as a little thought - Maribel Hearn and Yukari Yakumo are not the same person. That would be silly. The original name of that was pleasedon'ttakethisseriously.png and it's a reference, because I am far too referential.

But anyway, twisted people do tend to congregate to Touhou. Nothing wrong with that, is there? So, dreams. I talk to Yukari fairly frequently in mine, but the discussions are always very colloquial - I feel like she's giving me advice with the express goal of some sort of scheme, or maybe just out of the corner of her heart; but then again, who can tell? Anyway, if you haven't tried it yet, writing down your dreams *as soon as you wake up* - that can't be overstated enough, even if it's just one phrase or color or feeling - will help recollection. And recall them you should; if eyes are the window of the soul, dreams are it's messengers.

... By the by. Lunatic mode in this world is trying to create a world like the one we want to escape into. Of course, it involves a lot of effort, and I'm chronically lazy - but that's why it's fun to play it that way anyway. So, welcome to this little corner for Gensokyo expats. Youkai or human, you're definitely welcome here. If you have any other dreams, please do share them. I've been busy keeping my dreams from others recently. More importantly, the good ones I work into my writing; they get shared eventually.

I guess you could say that it's important to accept death. I know I feel that way - but even if you reach that land you look for, it's not really the same if you can't look back and say that you tried your hardest here, right? Of course, I've gotten used to my misery - after awhile of having no job and no future, it just all looks the same, heh. If you want to commiserate, lemme know - it'll be an interesting conversation, I'm sure.

Again, welcome. I enjoyed your thoughts - let me know if you found answers before I do.

Oh, you're looking for words? My writing is here.
Do you remember me? I also remember you - and though we haven't met in so many days, I still know you and love your memories. If you stumbled upon this - good luck, in whatever you might do.
