Mild Dream is an English Yume Nikki fangame made for Dream Diary Jam 2. One differing feature is that there are two different types of effects: Normal and Lucid. In order to use Lucid effects, the player must enter a state of lucidity by interacting with one of the various bees found within the dream world.

Critic Reviews
The gameplay in Lucid Dream consists of typical point-and-click adventure-style gameplay. You’ll select points of interest on the screen for Lucy to walk to, all while looking out for a variety of clues scattered throughout each world. These clues are sometimes easy to miss, but pressing the Spacebar will highlight the clickable items in green, making discovery easier.
Surrealistic adventure in the world of dreams with soul-stirring theme but common gameplay.
Combing rooms for items and gadgets can only get you so far when it comes to actual engagement with both the story and gameplay of Lucid Dream, rather than evolving the genre, like the now-defunct Telltale Games did with its one-off hit The Walking Dead, all this title has done is highlight the so-called Adventure Genre's repetitive flaws in an effort to bask in the imagined fun of the past.
Despite some flaws, Lucid Dream certainly deserves a chance because of its wonderful surreal setting – entirely hand drawn – and the events that revolve around the little, "Alice-like" protagonist.
