LSD: Dream Emulator Wiki

As well as Text Dreams, Video Dreams (not to be confused with clips) are encountered during the unplayable days of LSD: Dream Emulator.

Each unplayable day has only two possible video dreams to encounter from the whole collection (variant A or B), as well as four different text dreams.[1] Thus, the pseudorandom chance to see a video dream instead of a text one is 2:6 or ≈ 33.3%.

All video dreams may appear several times during the playthrough, on different unplayable days of the dream year. The exact video type (A or B) will be chosen depending on current dream seed.

Each video dream contains a real-world footage, the editing of which ranges from mostly unchanged to almost entirely synthesized, each of them lasts for approximately 30 seconds. There are 24 possible special video dreams in total. The whole collection of Video Dreams is possible to see during the unskippable rare "video reel" chart event.
