(Official U.S NiD) Reala is one of Wizeman's closest henchmen. Like NiGHTS, he is a tremendous flyer. However, he has a cruel and brutal personality and is NiGHTS' number one rival.
(Official JP NiD) One of two first level Maren that were created to be Wizemans right hand men. He has an absolute loyalty to Wizeman though he is a cruel and brutal character.
He has a flight ability almost equal to NiGHTS, and he can paraloop too.
Reala has many problems with NiGHTS because of their equal ability and opposing character. Therefore, they consider each other to be rivals. And, it was Reala's doing that NiGHTS was confined.
(Official U.S JoD) Reala is one of the First-Level Nightmarens created by Wizeman. Unlike NiGHTS — who is free, graceful and cheerful — Reala is obedient towards Wizeman the creator, as well as dirty, cruel and insidious. As a symbol of loyalty, Reala wears a Persona mask given to him by Wizeman. Reala acts as the leader of the whole Nightmaren force.

(Official U.S NiD) In their dreams Elliot and Claris have seen NiGHTS, a being capable of flying freely through the sky and performing the trickiest of aerial acrobatics. But what is NiGHTS? A spirit? A memory? Whatever he, she or it is, NiGHTS plays an important part in the upcoming battle with the evil Wizeman.
(Official JP NiD) Nightmaren of the first level created as Wizeman's right-hand man. Having the craziness of the original Nightmaren, the free wild character of this individual suffers much misfortune. Wizeman's spell is cast, confining the creature to the space of a dream. NiGHTS excels in flight ability compared to the other Marens. NiGHTS can fly as freely through the air as a fish swims the sea. If NiGHTS flies in a circle a hole can be made in the air, creating a deadly paraloop. Furthermore, since it's body can also be changed at will with shapeshifting, there's no place NiGHTS cannot venture to such as underwater or ice. Will the day come when NiGHTS will be released from Wizeman's spell and be free to fly the skies again?
(Official U.S JoD) NiGHTS enjoys flying freely through the beautiful skies of Nightopia. Full of curiosity, NiGHTS loves anything new or unusual. When Wizeman, the evil ruler of Nightmare, attempts to take over Nightopia, NiGHTS is compelled to help Will and Helen fight back and restore peace to the land.
DREAMS DREAMS
In a dream I could see
you are not far away.
Anytime, Anyplace.
I can see your face.
You are that special one
that I've been waiting for
and I hope you're looking for
someone like me.
In my dreams
I can hear you call on me.
In the night,
everything's so sweet.
In your eyes
I feel there's so much inside.
Chorus:
In the nights, dream delight;
I want to see you standing there.
In the nights, dream delight;
I've found someone who really cares.
In the nights, dream delight;
I want to see you smile again.
In the nights, dream delight;
You're the one I've waited for.
In a dream we can do
everything we want to
There's no where I'd rather be
but here with you.
The stars above light the way
only for you and I.
I'm so glad I've found the one
That I've been looking for.
Keep the dream.
(Keep the dream)
Of the one you're hoping for
Love can come through an open door.
Just be strong.
(Just be strong)
And you're sure to find the one,
the one, the one, the one.
*[repeat chorus]
(woh oh woh)
In the nights (in the nights), dream delight (delight);
I want to see you standing there
(see you standing there)
In the nights…
I've found someone who really cares
(oh woh yeah).
In the nights…
I want to see you smile again
(hey yeaha).
In the nights…
You're the one I waited for (the one, the one, woo ho).
In the night (oh baby) delight.
You and me,
we could be,
together forever.
In the nights (delight)
Baby
Baby
(Baby, Oh woh, Yeah, yeah)
In the nights
(yeah-yeah),
dream delight (delight).
I found someone,
I found my love in the night,
In that dream with you girl
(delight).
You're the one I waited for.
I dream, I dream, I dream, I dream, and you know.
(yeah yeah)
(wooh ooh; yeah, yeah, yeah)

A lot of people don't realise that the original version of the song had Japanese lyrics that were very different from the final version we all know and love. Below, thanks to Dreams, we have the lyrics and translations. How awesome is this? 
DREAMS DREAMS
星が静かにふる夜にみた夢は
甘い匂いのする夢でした
だれかがあの扉の向こうで僕を呼んでいました
僕をよんでいたのは君
僕も君をさがし続けていたんです
そうです
もうずっと長い間
僕は正直いって自分でも誰を探しているのか
わからなかったのだけれど
君の声のきいて迷わず「みつけた!」って思ったんです
今までさわろうとも思わなかったこの大きな扉を
あけようと思ったことは僕にとって一大事でした
でもあけようとすると扉はひとりでに開いて
しまったんです
君はなんでもない平凡なところに
まるで景色のように、たたずんでいましたね
本当になんでもない感じでにこにこしていましたね
こんなにすぐ近くにいたなんて全然知らなかった
んです
どうして今まできづかなかったんだろう、って
僕はすこし悩みましたよ
君のいる夢は僕が今までにみたこともない
光りであふれています
光りの中にいるとどんな望みでもかないそうな
なんかそんな気持ちになってきます

DREAMS DREAMS
My dream peered at a night full of peaceful stars
It was a sweet-scented dream
Someone was calling me from the opposite side of a door
It was you who called to me
And I continued to search for you
So then
It's been a very long time
But I tell myself the truth, who is it I'm seeking?
Yet I didn't understand
I heard your voice and without question thought "I found you!"
All this time, it was this big door I didn't think I should touch
It was an important thing to me, that I thought I should open it
But to open it would mean that the door would finally be
unbolted before me
You're here, in this ordinary, conventional place
As if caught in a scene, I stood still for a while
I smiled with, truly, the most natural feeling in the world
I never knew I could be so close like this
How I had never realized it until now
I briefly wept
There you are, unlike anything I had ever seen in my dream
Overflowing with light
But it seems my wish was granted, there in the light
And you do make me feel that way

"Reala sings 'Radio', the first verse at least. Reason being, I like the song and I wanted to see him sing it. I worked on it in August 2008 for a few days out of a few weeks."
By E. D. Thweatt
"Some time before "Reala Radio" I did this animation of Reala and NiGHTS bouncing back and forth for part of a bigger, but scrapped, project. Eventually I synced them up to a remake of Burning Down the House performed by Tom Jones and Nina Persson. It's a simple 3 frame animation fancied up by motion tweens, zooms, and pans. The background is very pixelated game artwork."
By Jan3D
There are hoaxes, and then there are HOAXES, lol. This is the best put together 3d animation spoof since Kichigai made NiGHTS do the Cancan. Many people on Youtube were fooled including a few of my friends, but hoax or no hoax this is some great work. Created pre JoD. Lovely work Jan
By Zero-Shift & Maresuke
The rather hilarious flash animation for the equally hilarious audio. 'Days of our NiGHTS'. Presented by Gulpo, Animation by Maresuke, voices by Zero-Shift. Originaly for our DreamCast show
By Jan3D
A personal old favourite of DiGi's, Jan created a dance troupe of famous video game characters then put them through their paces to Michael Jackson's Thriller. See the video in all its wonderful shinyness.
It's that day kids! The day were FANS FLIP OUT AND GO CRAZY.
It's Journey of Dreams release day in the USA and people in our forums are running in frantic circles trying to grab late copies. Sisters Shae and Kbooki went on an EPiC ADVENTURE and decided to share this hilarious documentary with the community. Yes. This is the true mentality of the NiGHTS fanbase in condensed form. This is what waiting 11 years does to us all. Some of us even drive cars. Beware. (Don't worry I'm sure all those years of playing the original game will come in handy when not paying attention to the road in front of you girls 
)
This documentary is in TWO PARTS dun dun dun. Check out video 2 for the dramatic conclusion.

I vote more epic adventures!
It's not very often as an Admin I find a site sub so moving that I want to dedicate an entire page to it. But this was one of those rare moments and i think you will agree with me. We received an email from a lovely lady named Marissa who lives in Holland, she included a link to her work on Youtube. She's an animator see, and this piece of film she created is nothing short of stunning. It makes me cry it's that good.
With a great stroke of luck we received tons of production material for her award winning project.
Though not directly NiGHTS into Dreams, it's more than obvious where the inspiration came from and she's not afraid to admit it! Marissa is a huge NiGHTS fan and confesses that one day in the future she would like to try her hand at an actual NiGHTS animation. We can't wait!
So sit back, grab some tissues and prepare to get that fuzzy magical NiD feeling most of us felt back in the mid nineties.
"Beyond The Window"
"A touching translation of the Peter Pan myth to the imaginary world of a young boy who is confined to his wheelchair.
With the starry sky as his only glimpse to the outside world, the boy spends all his waking hours staring out of the window in search of a falling star to make his long cherished wish come true: being freed of the bonds that keep him grounded. But when the heavens answer in the shape of a mysterious jester his unreal wish may have some very real consequences.
This is my cherished end of the year animation I made during the second year of my animation studies in 2006. Completing this lengthy piece ended me up with rsi for a while after having to complete it by myself alone and working on the entire process from initial idea, storyboard and final animation for six months. It was selected and screened at the Holland Animation Film Festival for the student selection and I've been very proud of concluding this effort with success. And it even has a page now on IMDB! Also, I am proud to say it recently won a shared first price at the HKU Animation Festival, a first time small school festival organized by students.
There have been many versions of the storyboard and in the end I must say that one of those storyboard versions is in my opinion the true version of the story. This is one vision and it leaves you free to imagine all what happens in the end. Those of you who have played the old video games NiGHTS into Dreams, might recognize the look and feel of the jester character to be inspired on my most cherished childhood videogame.
As a sidenote for those who have wondered about it: the boy's name is Jonathan and the jester has been named Pan by Ashashi on the NiGHTS forum."

As i mentioned, Marissa sent us folders worth of development work showing her ideas from start to finish. This includes an alternative ending and storyboards. If you are as interested in animation as i myself am, then these will be a real visual treat for you! Enjoy!

Beyond the Window – the lyrics
by Marissa Delbressine
Boy:
Ever do I dream
To fly out from here
Wish it as I may, to the ground I’m bound
I don’t want to be this way
I can be much more than this
Lift me up, take me where I belong
Jester:
You need not to speak my name
You know the word I am
I reside in all your hearts and most in that of a child
I have watched you from the dark
And seen your sorrow
Trust in me and you’ll be free
Boy:
Ever did I dream
To fly out from here
If what you say is true, then I’m not scared
Jester:
If you take my hand
I promise you will never a-
-gain touch the ground
You— will fly forever—-
Both:
Here we fly into the light and here we dream tonight [both]
The sky is not as dark as when I held my eyes shut tight [boy]
Here we fly into our hearts, come, leave the world behind [both]
This is the place your heart resides, we’ll fly forever if you believe in me….
Believe in me… in me [jester]
Boy:
No, it is not so
I can’t hold on you
(How can this be true..)
Can.. this be true?
Ever did I dream
To fly out from here
If I believe it so, then I will fly
Forever, now, for sure.

Here we have all the VERY rare, NiGHTS TV commercials. I've made it something of a life mission to get every region and game video up here! And i will! Just as soon as i get a hold of the UK NiD commercial i stupidly recorded over in '97 with a SpiceGirls concert by accident ….
I'm also looking for a proper direct recording of the UK and USA Journey of Dreams adverts. (The TV ones, not online trailers).
If you have the missing NiD UK television commercial and would be wiling to submit it then email me. Also if there were any other language commercials i'm not aware of then PLEASE send them to our subs account or mention it below.
Japanese JoD TV Campaign:
The short and shiny commercial for Journey Of Dreams. It gives us all the happy christmas fuzzies. The best commercial they done in my opinion. Sent in by CrazyInaBottle, many thanks!
[ DiRECT DOWNLOAD ]
An alternative version of the Japanese commercial. Shows trailer FMV and advertises the PaPetch preorder toy.
[ DiRECT DOWNLOAD ]
Japanese NiD TV Campaign:
The short NiGHTS into Dreams TV preview teaser at a good sized clear recording. Nice. Simple. Sweet. Ah happy days. Kindly donated by the lovely Kawazzi in Japan.
[ DiRECT DOWNLOAD ]
Two wonderful full length Japanese commercials. This actually kinda makes me laugh because by the end of the second one the poor kid looks like NiD just ate her soul. Mmm souls.
[ DiRECT DOWNLOAD ]
Japanese Christmas NiGHTS TV Campaign:
The highly rare Japanese Christmas NiGHTS commercial (yes, Sega made one!).
[ DiRECT DOWNLOAD ]
USA JoD TV Campaign:
It would seem this commercial is as hard to find online (or on the TV!) as Selph in NiD. We don't have a proper recording of it. If you have one please put us out of our misery and upload it. Not to be confused with the online trailer.
[ DiRECT DOWNLOAD ]
USA NiD TV Campaign:
'Fly Plaything Fly'…
While the Japanese were busy showing the beauty of the actual game, the Americans were busy comparing processor sizes with Sony. Probably the most common NiGHTS commercial you'll see online because everyone remembers the SEGAscream guy.
[ DiRECT DOWNLOAD ]
Canadian NiD TV Campaign:
One of the rarer accidental finds. What i thought was the French commercial was actually the Canadian one. A dubbed version of the USA advert. Thanks to LaMarr and Alan K. Rose.
[ DiRECT DOWNLOAD ]
French NiD TV Campaign:
Created by HHCL Brasserie and televised in September '96 as the first of four in what Sega called the Demonstration series. At the end of each advert, viewers saw a screen full of fake copyright information that on closer inspection was actually less serious than you'd think, suggesting that you could "wait for a plumber instead" and warning you "not to slip" when running in the rain. Then, multiple text hints would fly across the screen further demonstrating hidden features in the advertised game, with NiGHTS' clip mentioning how your score can massively improve by taking advantage of the A-Life system and hatching Nightopians.
This is essentialy the commercial we got here in the U.K, but obviously with French audio and text in. If anyone out there has the English version of this please send it in! I used to own it on videotape but lost it. Huge thanks to Alan K. Rose for the info and for finding this version.
