How it begins

You're a young man (presumably the author himself), carrying and wearing nothing, and in bed with your girlfriend Kira, who is asleep. Beside her is a pencil and crossword puzzle magazine. You can also see some clutter and your dressers, and the bathroom is to the west. According to the alarm clock, it's just after 2 am. You should really try to sleep.

Notable features

• Once the PC is asleep, normal game geography is meaningless. The PC may attempt to move in any direction, and will randomly arrive in one of several locations.
• Room descriptions will change on revisits. The "your bedroom" location, for example, can potentially be any bedroom the PC had in his lifetime. Likewise, the PC's age and appearance will change to match the person he was when he had that particular bedroom. In short, when the PC changes where he is, he also changes when he is.
• Objects may sometimes leave the PC's inventory without warning, only to be refound elsewhere.

Trivia and Comments

• As an entry to IF Dreams, it should be understood that this is the re-enactment of one the author's more vivid dreams.
