My Dreams

Produced by Banya Production for the Original catalog, "My Dreams" first appeared in Pump It Up NX ABSOLUTE and ran through that era. At 136 BPM it spans a wide difficulty range: under PHOENIX it carries Single charts at S4, S10, S18 and S19, plus Double charts at D19 and D22. Several of those levels were re-rated across versions, which helped keep the song relevant for each new generation of players.

S4 is a beginner Normal chart built around on-beat steps. S10, the old Hard, leans on off-beat notes seasoned with bits of 16th-note movement. S18 (formerly Another Crazy) is the Single "folded" version of the D18 Nightmare: frequent stair patterns and double-clicks that grind away stamina, with tight high-angle twists that make it awkward. It was one of the level-17 boss songs in Prime 2 before being bumped to 18 in XX. S19 (formerly Crazy) sprinkles short 24th-note bursts throughout the song with no big finale, demanding clean footwork on its early twists.

D19 (the old Nightmare) leans on stairs and half-twists, with heavy weight shifting and almost no rest outside its hold sections, making it tough for the level; it was re-rated to 19 in PHOENIX. D22, added in XX 2.00 and charted by WINDFORCE, saves its big 24th-note burst for the electric-guitar passage near the end, equivalent to roughly 204 BPM at 16th notes, landing it in the mid-to-upper part of the D22 range.

NX ABSOLUTE also hid a WorldMax mission-only chart called "My dejavu," cleared only by finishing with rank A or higher. Barely known today, it was an expanded take on the Single 19 so brutal that its real feel approached a D26: despite holding just 1,174 notes, its bursts, 32nd-note trills and split-leg hold sections made it one of the harshest missions of its day.
