Or sometimes you dump as much as you possibly can in a rapid stream of consciousness to get down as much as you can before the memory disintegrates, but what you wrote is completely incomprehensible after the fact.
i love how each entry of mrs Nishikawa's diary could warrant a game on it's own. In the "indie game" fashion, in a style that would dig into nostalgia and have bizarre mechanics. Though, LSD being an exploration of a compilation of these dreams was probably the best choice to make, as the amount of bizarre ultimately brought logic to the whole interactive artwork ^_^)
Games do still come with extra stuff like this! All you have to do is pre-order the "Super-Duper Gold Extra Deluxe Special Collector's Edition" and pay $200+ for a single $60 game, some usually poor quality merch, and an exclusive skin or weapon! Now that's what I call a deal! /s 🙄😒
@@lilyomp4598 I've had only one that I can remember and was one of the most 'realistic' feeling ones I've ever had. I won't go into detail just to keep it pg but that was the only time. The other dreams I've had are just scary or really bizarre to the point they area also scary
Sato-san was way ahead of his time. His music in the game sounds like Aphex Twin, the art direction is absurd like post-meta-ironic vaporwave memes of 2019, and the design philosophy is like the sandbox boom of the 2010s. Making this game in '98 is like making a 2020 F150 in 1973.
i played this in highschool forever ago back during like the ps3 era. my friend had a modded wii with a bunch of emulators and he'd make me play all sorts of weird shit all the time. i can't even tell if it's actually obscure or not at this point lol so many people seem to have a similar story
Glad to hear someone talking about the book!! It really is a neat read. I've also been using the lion on the far right at 18:21 as a reaction image for around a year now lol
I absolutely love this video. I have adored this game for quite some time and indeed never heard much about this art book, but it's so insightful in a mysterious way. Thank you for making it the focus, this made my day.
The fact that it takes place in a bizarre dream landscape is intriguing. I too have weird dreams where I'm compelled to explore and see one crazy thing after the next. It even inspires some of my writing. Yet another game I would've enjoyed if not because I either never heard of it or it never came out stateside. But thankfully, there's you bringing it to my attention.
It'd be awesome to get an LSD remake either officially (in some capacity) or community-made with more details and locations based on the dream diary. The giant crab attacking the restaurant inside an elevator for example.
I loved hearing this journal, it's surreal and almost entrancing to hear about somebody else's dreams especially written sort of poetically like this, and dreams just feel like something really relatable while also being bizarre
So glad and surprised that someone made a vid on this dream journal. I think even now one of the only places you can find it (if not the only) is the scan of it on the dream emulator wiki
You should be able to play this game in art museums. I think it would contextualize it so well, and also way more people should get a chance to experience it. Even people who don't play games.
I heard about the game but I didn't know there was a book. Really enjoyed your audiobook style of reading paired with the obscure yet beautiful artworks and narrative. Keep making videos, man! Loving your channel! ❤
loved this game since the day that we met all those years ago... great video that introduces the game really well while also giving a lot of wonderful and detailed research. great vid! Thank you for reading the actual diary!!
I played LSD, god knows how many years ago. Never heard about the artbook. You covering Lovely Sweet Dream is so cool. Thank you for putting in the research and effort!
It's good to see how your subscribers have rocketed up in amount as of late. Absolutely one of the most chill channels to listen to. That translates to narrating a dream-diary as well it turns out.
I’m stoned and I’m so grateful for this video. As soon as you mentioned the art book I thought “ohh I want to read that” but you solved this for me!!!!
yooo big childhood game let's goooooo; inspired my drive for art & art appreciation in various forms ! /edit : you're the first we've seen to cover the book & it really does bring a genuine smile that anybody remembers about it-
I’ve kept a dream diary for a couple years myself so that I can hopefully accumulate enough good ones to make into something, though unfortunately a lot of the time I either have a cool dream that I can’t remember anything of when I wake up or I do remember but it’s mediocre. It’s definitely a long-term thing, I’ve managed to record some pretty good ones and I’ve gotta keep at it.
12:05 This is what I absolutely love about your channel, man. The dedication you have to the art form is just incredible. This could have been a video about LSD Dream Emulator and Sato, but you decided to really dig into the work and pull out Lovely Sweet Dream. Incredible.
i can't believe i didn't know there was an art book to go along with this game!!!! i'm obsessed!!!! thanks so much for this omg christmas has come early
i hardly ever leave comments on youtube videos but i feel like i need to share something. her dream about the alarm clock continuously ringing no matter what she does... i always have the exact same dream. it happens like this: the alarm on my phone goes off in real life, and i hear it my dream. it doesn't wake me up. in the dream, i turn it off. it keeps going. so i move it around. i put it in drawers, under blankets, in another room, etc, just like she did in her dream, but it never stops ringing. then i destroy it - i smash my phone, hit it with a hammer, throw it far away, or down a flight of stairs, or something like that. it keeps ringing, it doesn't stop. then, just like in her dream, a familiar face appears - for her, she says it was her mother. for me, it's a loved one - a friend or relative. the alarm never stops. but at this point, after destroying my phone, throwing it away, running away from it... usually i wake up. and usually, the alarm is still going off, so i shut it off, in real life, for real this time. i always tell people about this reoccurring dream i have about my alarm, and they never understand. nobody ever relates to it. so imagine my surprise when i hear you read her dream out loud to me - my exact dream, that i've had over and over, many times before. i'm leaving this comment because i wish i could tell Mrs. Nishikawa that i have shared her dreams. but i don't know her. i never will. and since i'll never have the chance to tell her, i want somebody out there to know. thank you for this video. it is such a wonderfully entertaining watch. i wish i could thank Mrs. Nishikawa too. dreams can be so personal. i wish i could thank her for choosing to share hers with the world.
This is a really sweet comment, but, in an odd sort of way, I have the opposite problem. Somehow, even when I place my alarm at arm's length so I have to physically lurch forward to get it, or when I set my phone alarm so I have to be aware enough to use it, I seem to always be able to turn it off without much fuss. I will wake up and be totally frustrated because I managed to avoid hearing multiple alarms just because I deactivate it in my sleep. I have taken to having to move it across the room, close and loud enough to be heard, but far enough away that I cannot get to it without waking up 😂 But, I have often had similar dreams, in which I can hear it and cannot figure out why it won't stop even when I think the problem has been solved.
I was very very afraid of this game when I stumbled upon it as a chronically online kid. I still can’t get myself to play it, but I sure have watched countless play-throughs.
Just wanna say, I just discovered your channel andhave been binging all your videos. Niche weird games and the like have always fascinated me and your content is perfect. You are awesome! Keep it up please!a
“You want to have sex with your mother, I’m totally not projecting my own absolute depravity onto you. Anyway, would you like to do a cocaine about that?”

@@dungeonchill For me I found the channel recently, got a recommendation to Cosmology of Kyoto when I was watching a true crime video, that's RUclips algorythm for you I love the channel, it has great content and watched most of the videos already lol
Had to stop cuz I almost fell asleep during story time. Not cuz that's bad but I needed to sub and check out your other vids. I'll be back to this for nappy time ^_^
90% of my dreams involve me trying to throw punches but it feels like I’m underwater Or being an ex-addict, I used to have a lot of using dreams where I always woke up before I actually got high
The ending songs line "Through the day, as if from an ocean" is taken from the song "by this river" by "Brian Eno" (start of the second verse). Just something i noticed. Not sure why but it's interesting.
I imagine taht static and dynamic isn't so much of the way you explore, but how the world explores for you. Like if you turn a corner, and go down a hall, then turn around and something else is down that hall you were just at.
Great video. Have been wanting to own this book for a while but it is expensive and hard to find. I do own Osamu Sato's Alphabetical Orgasm which is a collection of prints based on the English alphabet. You can see an image from this at......4:20.
i genuinely wonder what the watch time on this video is like, i left the video on until the end and it was so captivating for me to imagine what was depicted in the journal
I want to animate and write almost every single one of these dreams because I think it would be neat, except for the ones I find to be too disturbing for me to work on. "You know that dream where you wake up as a girl. I wonder what causes it" "Dude, I've literally never experienced that dream" I would not mind that if someone were to create another LSD: Dream Emulator they could create ones for every single culture on the planet, not just the ones exclusive to the journal and to this specific select team. There are so many dreams that could be given their own Dream Emulator type of game.
Concerning the graph: Static - is more "normal" looking Dynamic - Has the kanji walls Upper - "sexual" (The walls with real life models etc) Downer - "evil" Lots of red and warped textures

The weird thing is due to its unique and abstract art style its graphical style and atmosphere has aged really well.
It's both of its time and far beyond it simultaneously. The closest thing to this game I can think of is Yume Nikki.
I agree on the aging well. Especially when we're getting excellent looking games in the 2020s. Games that are directly inspired by such as this
funny what happens when you remain true to an actual vision instead of catering to fashion

I wish more games came with extra stuff like this still
me too, im tired of buying a games and having an empty case with no cool stuff or extras
One of the unfortunate side effects from the death of physical media.

Neko Yume is a... "parody, reference, tribute?" for LSD Dream Emulator.
Really relatable how her dreams seem to alternate between the macabre and being erotic. Sometimes they are one and the same
In my dreams, eating cheetah steak gives you brain cancer.
Fr, I feel like I’ve never had just a pure “sexy” dream before. It’s always mixed around with the dark and upsetting.

Osamu Sato is also behind, Eastern mind:The Lost Souls of Tong Nou and plays some of the roles in the game (such as the green head)
