Got the nightmare to happen.

Kept on sleeping for an hour and relogging in and it happened. Also recorded it, working on rendering it atm. Got it recorded with the gear I wanted to be in and such (also did the Futures Perfect cutscene for the heck of it).

Basically when you sleep you have to wait at least an hour to tic so you'll gain rested EXP. That's when you can relog in, and when that happens you'll awake fully rested and you'll have either a nice dream/item or that nightmare.

Got the nightmare after staying logged off for just a half hour, gonna try and see if I can get a dream from being logged off only 15 mins.

I know right? Best rep response ever.

Anyways, I got a bit sidetracked so I didn't log in until about 25 mins after I logged off. I didn't get a dream, just the "You feel somewhat refreshed." message, so I'm assuming you have to stay logged out at least 30 minutes to get a dream.

Yeah, I was even trying to be good for once, too... lol

Hey everyone,

Your new Community Rep Okipuit here! Nice to meet you!

We're really glad to hear that you guys have enjoyed your recent dreams (and even nightmares!?)
Please keep the feedback coming and we'll gather them for dev team. I'm sure all of your positive responses will get them hyped-up for all their work to come.

Thank you guys and... sweet dreams!

Welcome Okipuit!
The bed feature is one of the best so far imo lol.. i love it. Hope to see more stuff about it in the future!

I was thinking devs could make some mini-quests playable in the dream (always random). With these elements:

- when you play in the dream you can wake up in every moment (skip button), but if you want to do i again you have to wait the next time you login and to have the luck it appears.

- there could be various kind of dreams and nightmares you could 'play' (bad or nice ones) like: fighting particular battles, seeing oniric visions, flying over the landscapes, finding someone in a dark land and so on.

- all of these should have some elements typical of a dream, like: strange and absurd stuff in it (like things out of places), if you die in the dream you wake up and so on.

- you could obtain items or rewards in the dreams as well (that materialize under the bed lol) or find clues/hints/info about Eorzea or particular npc/monsters.

- you could find a rare creature (NM) in one particular nightmare (rare) to defeat. Or it could appear in one of them, randomly (very rare).


..and so on. It has infinite possibilities, if you ask me. ^_^

Hmm...I target the bed and I get the option to EXAMINE the bed...not check it. And all it does it tell me it's soft and comfy.
Anyone else having this problem?

Yep, definitely a bug, we need a hotfix immediately

I just had an AMAZING idea.

Why not use the bed for replaying dream cutscenes.

It makes sense. By the power of your imagination you'll be able to see them again.

It works better than using the journal since the journal is used for quests.

I'M SO SMART

On a side note, uploading takes forever on DSL.

yeah, I'm an idiot at 2:30 am...got it to work by just giving up to log out...then wa-la.
