As the player progresses, the pattern on walls and the form of the player may transmute. The player may also hold the X button while moving to run, the SQUARE button to look down and the TRIANGLE button to look up. The player may use the LEFT and RIGHT directional buttons to look and change direction, the UP and DOWN buttons to initiate or reverse movement and the shoulder buttons to strafe left or right. The game is set in a first-person environment. One may also encounter strange creatures while roaming around, including a celestial nymph flying through the air, a wild horse running through the prairie, or a huge man filling up an entire room. Even if the player visits the same place twice, it may look quite different- sometimes the textures of walls will change to subtly different versions or new items will appear for the player to encounter. For example, eyes may suddenly appear on the walls and stare at the player. While the player walks through an environment, the surroundings may suddenly change. Past states may have effects on later dreams. There is a graph that appears at the end of each dream that keeps track of the player's state of mind the states are Upper, Downer, Static and Dynamic, as referring to the environments and the general feel of the dream the player just went through. However, if the player falls off a cliff in the dream, then the player may wake up immediately. Bumping into people, animals, or special objects usually gives a stranger dream.Įach dream can last up to 10 minutes, after which the player will 'wake up', when the screen turns black and the player is sent back to the game's initial menu. However, if you bump into walls or other objects in the game, you will be instantaneously transported to another environment, the system of which is called "linking".

There are many bizarre environments in this world, and one way to travel through them is by foot. The idea is simply to walk around and enjoy things in a dream environment. There is no action or experience points, nor is there any clear goal.
