    Clearness: Quite clear, but I remember only a few parts clearly.
    Vividness: Moderately vivid.
    Realism: Strange mixture of 8-bit video game and realistic, detailed scenes.
    Mood: Fun.
    Lucid: No.

    There are two things I dream about the most: Either video games, often Final Fantasy, or public transport vehicles, often trains.
    This dream was kinda special in that it featured both FF and trains as the main subject.
    The dream mainly consisted of SNES tile map visuals, with 8-bit NES music and sounds.

    There was probably some more stuff going on before this part, but as far as I can remember, it started at the platform of a big train station, with the screen centered on the rail. I could go to the left and to the right.
    I went to explore to the right, and the next screen was suddenly a highly detailed 1st person view on a broad rail way with multiple rails, each of them forking in various directions. I found it a strangely beautiful sight (who knows, maybe there is a hidden fascination for trains and railways inside me? ).
    I went back to the first screen, and went to explore to the left, but just as I was about to enter the screen to the left, I stood still and a little "cutscene" with a train arriving from the left occurred. The door opened, I got in, and the train departed.

    On the train there were various NPC's but I couldn't talk to em. Yet, somehow, I knew my quest at this point, which is to defeat 5 progressively difficult bosses who are located at the front of certain trains, including this one. I went to the front and interacted with the train driver. A small conversation happened and a battle initiated, which suddenly looked rather FF7-esque (the FF7 boss theme was playing too), and I wasn't fighting the train driver, but some sort of spider-like creature.
    I can't recall the battle itself, nor when I won it, but somehow I just... know that I did. So when I did, I arrived at a new location, I can't remember much about it, but I met Bugenhagen.
    A while later I went on a train again, fought a stronger boss, and arrived at a new location again.

    This location was snowy and it contained a small shelter. I went in and talked to the person inside, who was my little cousin. He said there was going to be an "invasion" tonight (no particular details), and I had to help fortify the shelter with snow before the timer ran out.
    This was basically a minigame where I had to interact with snow tiles to break em, pick em up, and move em so that they surrounded the shelter (probably a slight minecraft element here). I succeeded, went in, and another highly detailed 1st person scene occurred.
    It was dark inside, a few candles were burning, and we heard the unidentified "invasion" coming (it was a bit like an earthquake). My cousin began to panic and scream, and after a while his screaming annoyed me tremendously.

    Oh, and at some point in the dream, but I can't exactly tell when, I was following a long railway on a mountain on foot at sunset; also a very beautiful sight. (Sometimes I get beautiful moments like this in dreams, which makes me wish I was any good at painting )

    Hmm... there was probably some more after this, but not much I think. So I didn't manage to complete the main quest before waking up. :<
