This morning, I dreamt that there had been a culture shift in my area. Everyone was talking about vocal synths. There was Miku music playing, and a contest was running to listen and identify her classic songs.
Vocal Synth Fandom Dreams

I had a dream about being back in school and in this one class we were given a book where (a little vague on the details now of how this was supposed to work but) there was a whole universal timeline or something based around niki's music and I went, "WOO YEAH FAVORITE VOCALOID PRODUCER!" and my teacher said, "Haha right mine too" 
I had a dream last week about there being some sort of apocalyptic war/world war and Hatsune Miku sacrificed herself so that everyone left could live. No idea what happened to the survivors cause I woke up.
I had one last night about going to a retro-themed concert--outside, there was a diorama of a cityscape done in 8-bit artwork. There was an 8-bit video game character of some kind standing on one of the roofs. If you reached inside a hole in the side of one of the cardboard buildings, there was a translucent green plastic joystick with a donut-shaped button on top. Tilting the joystick made a holographic Miku run across the buildings, and pushing the button made her jump. So an activity was to navigate her across the buildings. I seemed to hear the song "Good is YEAH!" playing in this area.
There was also a race for concertgoers. If you participated, you had to race each other around a course around a larger diorama of buildings. I think there was water and an uneven path/stuff to climb over. Participants wore a little bracelet that projected a holographic Miku on the buildings, and you had to pilot her across the buildings while running around them yourself.
My bracelet didn't work, but I tied a black elastic fabric band around the waist of a plastic Miku action figure and tied that onto my wrist. She bounced and summersaulted across the buildings like a yo-yo.
When I reached the end of the course, it looked like I might have won the race, since I got there by myself. I started getting concerned that that shouldn't have happened, since I hadn't really participated correctly. But then I saw a girl from school who apparently had gotten in ahead of me. She was complaining to an official that she hadn't been able to win, either, because a bus had pulled out just as she'd arrived and screwed up an electronic eye of some kind. But at least I hadn't won inappropriately.

I was in a small tour group in the CFM office. A young guy, one of the employees there, was giving us tuning tips.
He was talking about one thing, and then he said that in order to get a more fluid pronunciation, they remove a phoneme from the end of all the words. (Sounded like [sil], but that wouldn't be there by default, obviously.) It looked like he was working with Miku on a next-gen synth software, because we could see the line of lyrics, and then he made all the phonemes he meant to remove disappear from the ends of the words at once.
The desk next to him had a touchscreen TV laying on top of it, and he was using it to flip through examples of different Miku projects/songs using cover art thumbnails.
As he was going along, he was going to give another example, saying something like, "It's like we did in...." And then he stopped and said, "I'm not supposed to talk about that. But...." And then he moved on to an alternative, simple trick.
Then the dream shifted into one of me and my extended family going out for breakfast. We were walking down the street, and we had to stop in at other establishments twice along the way. One of my cousins was getting annoyed, and I told him it was because Grandma is old and can't walk very far without resting.
When we got there, it was a nice place with wood paneling and pretty lighting. The foyer looked a little like some of the temples I've seen on webcam. Judging by the menu, they had a slim selection, but you could order pancakes and specialty coffee. My dad was trying to clue me into a coffee drink with a kind of beer he thought I'd like--probably ale--a drink called "the American." Grandma was being disapproving.
With my drink of whatever kind, I sat down across from some other customers. The table was a bed, in which everyone ate, so it was hard to stand your drink up and not move so as to avoid upsetting other people's stuff.
When I woke up, I had Madonna's song, "Into the Groove" playing in my head at a slow tempo. It sounded sad.

Had another interesting one this morning. In this one, the Persona 5 Phantom Thieves encourage the closing of some kind of restaurant that's become a blight on the neighborhood.
I don't remember much about the beginning, but it was in the restaurant.
Afterward, the scene charged to a warehouse nearby. The concrete floor was split into two halves by a trench, spanned by a bridge of wooden planks. The crew running the restaurant was in the nearer area. In the further area, there was a door on the far wall with light coming through it that was too bright to see through.
There was a theme song I've never heard before playing as the Thieves arrived.
Miku came. (She's joined the Phantom Thieves before, if you remember.) She walked across the further side, crossed the bridge, and stepped to the left side, leaning forward with her hands on her hips.
Then Joker appeared, along with a bald guy I think I've seen in live-action movies but can't place. Then Ann (who was adjusting her sunglasses), Ryuji, and the other members of Persona 5. Then Megurine Luka. Then Hibiki Misora from Ryuusei no Rockman, looking characteristically about as stern as Miku was. Then the members of Vivid Bad Squad, who were laughing and chatting with each other.
Aside from the distance and things like Ann's sunglasses, none of the group was doing anything to bother hiding their identity.
And then the bald guy, who was somehow something like an announcer (he was saying something I couldn't hear in a voice loud enough to fill the warehouse) said something like, "Your restaurant on the corner of [some street] and [some other street]...must go!"
