The Chaos
This isn't much of a dream; there's no scene or memory being played, and it doesn't last for very long and Jun himself can't even be found inhabiting it. Instead, it's more a vision, an assault on the senses; there's only swirling colors, predominately in black, green, blue and white, a cacophony of sound with the underlaid ticking of a watch, and on the occasion a glimpse of a group of children, a woman, a man, a shrine, a school, a playground, and so on. For all intents and purposes, it's pure, unadulterated Chaos.
The Law
I SHOULD FIND A LINK TO PLOTCAVESHRINE WEH
Jun will be shown inside a cave wearing is Cuss High uniform, maneuvering around some rocks to access secret pocket within the cave's tunnel system. Inside a small room with a box sitting in the middle. He'll walk towards the box and crouch down next to it, opening it to reveal a child's Black Condor mask from Phoenix Ranger Featherman R. Where before he had clearly gone into the cave alone, a tall, middle-aged man with a red scarf(is it a scarf I don't even know) has appeared in the room with him. The man speaks with him about revenge and power, and Jun lifts the mask out of the box. He stands up, places the mask over his face, and has suddenly transformed into the Joker, mask and all. The chaotic sounds and visuals then take over the scene.
The Peace
This dream can end in one of three ways, but it always starts the same.
It begins in a flower garden, luciously adorned with flowers of many types and colors, and a few pieces of garden furniture. It seems to be host to a party, and Jun is there with not only Tatsuya, Eikichi, Lisa, and Maya, but even Yukino, Miyabi, Anna, Katsuya, Eikichi's three friends from Cuss, and Lisa's two friends from the Muses-- even a few of the people he's befriended in the Tower. It looks to be a pretty normal, and everyone is smiling and having a good time together.
The War
This dream will open on a school, and instead of the normal blue uniform he wears, Jun will be shown wearing a first yer Seven Sisters High uniform. There will be some time walking in the hallway with no disturbances, open to talking with another Dreamer. During this time, the ticking of a clock can be heard, as if counting down the time until something. Soon, Jun will be accosted by a group of other male students at Sevens. At first it's just normal harassment, but it quickly becomes clear this is not the first time it has occurred. The incident begins to escalate, and one of two things may occur;
The Rise
This dream is the clearest dream available. It shows a group of four young children and a preteen girl in a school uniform playing in front of a shrine together. Their games vary, but they're usually simple things like playing tag, house, ball, drawing, or things like that. The kids act perfectly normal, though they are all wearing the masks of the Masked Circle, with the preteen girl wearing the green Queen Aquarius mask, the two light-haired boys wear the red King Leo and the blue Lady Scorpio masks, and the younger girl wears the yellow Prince Taurus mask. The dark-haired boy (indisputably a young Jun to those that know him), is the only one not wearing a mask. Although the dream takes place at night, it's a clear full moon during the summer instead of the usual ominous darkness.
The Fall
The details of this dream are hazy and fuzzy at best, and at times can often seem like a fervor dream. Jun will be shown with his teammates, Tatsuya, Maya, Lisa and Eikichi in the Collective Unconscious, after facing down Nyarlathotep in his Kashihara form. Another woman with brown hair and sunglasses appears and runs Maya though with a spear; the rest of the kids panic and try to rectify the situation, but she still dies. Nyarlathotep taunts them and disappears, and the area will be destroyed in a fiery white energy explosion, and the dream will end.
The Highs
The surroundings are completely dark, the only source of light being a series of candles that are perched on (and melted onto) a white and gold piano in the middle of the area. Jun will be seated at the piano, playing a classical, though melancholy tune. Two things may occur:
Jun will speak with any visitors or other dreamers, but he will never acknowledge the two adults.
And one more thing...
Every now and then throughout the dreams, the text of a poem appears, either seeming to be projected on the walls of the environment, or whispered by a young girl's voice.
"...mir graust es, wenn ich sein Antlitz sehe,
der Mond zeigt mir meine eigne Gestalt.
Du Doppelgänger, du bleicher Geselle!
Was äffst du nach mein Liebesleid,
das mich gequält auf dieser Stelle
so manche Nacht, in alter Zeit?"

- The First Piece: Rarely, and fortunately, sometimes the dream will just end here.
- The Second Piece: With a strong gust of wind, the garden immediately turns into fires and ashes, the sky going dark so the only source of light is the flames. In Jun's spot now stands the Joker in full costume, and a number of the people that were in attendance laying dead on the ground surrounded by blood. Who is dead changes each time, but among the dead every time are Tatsuya, Lisa and Eikichi, and Maya is never dead. The Joker will continue attacking everyone (sans Maya) and any visitors, until the visual and auditory sensations from The Chaos segment take over the scene and the dream ends.
- The Third Piece: Another gust of wind, and once again the the fire and ashes over take the scene. Everyone except Tatsuya, Lisa, Eikichi, anyone met in the tower and Jun have disappeared this time. The first three appear to be angry with Jun, and are all now sporting yellow eyes and holding their weapons. Jun, though armed, is backing away and cowering from them as they taunt him. Eventually the same visual and auditory sensations as which ends the previous iteration will take over, and the dream will end.

At first it's just normal harassment, but it quickly becomes clear this is not the first time it has occurred. The incident begins to escalate, and one of two things may occur;
- WW2: If someone interferes, The Joker-Persona will appear and see everyone, even the helper, as hostile, and attack.
- WW1: If no one interferes, Hermes will appear instead and retaliate against the assaulting students, leaving them severely injured and the sound the of police sirens in the background as the dream ends.

The surroundings are completely dark, the only source of light being a series of candles that are perched on (and melted onto) a white and gold piano in the middle of the area. Jun will be seated at the piano, playing a classical, though melancholy tune. Two things may occur:
- Matriarch: A young, beautiful woman will be standing by his side, praising his piano playing. As the dream goes on, she'll gradually begin to insult him and degrade him personally, but still praise his music.
- Patriarch: A tired-looking man will be standing nearby, similar in appearance to the man from his other dreams but noticeably more frail and soft looking, and without the red scarf. He will be silent for the most part, and but will compliment and praise him every now and then regardless of what happens.
Jun will speak with any visitors or other dreamers, but he will never acknowledge the two adults.
