I don't think I have any more dreams that have the same length as the one I've told and has a consistent element of Touhou in it, but I'll try my best to fit together bite-sized dreams I've had to make a cohesive dream story.

Similar to a fish locked in land, I was gasping for air desperately, but it's as if oxygen was thinning and I was slowly unable to breath and yet still able to, maybe I've gone too far down? I didn't understood why they didn't implement any ventilation or some oxygen generator, but maybe being abandoned and unmanned does that to an old world nuclear silo bunker? Whatever is the case, I cannot stop and relax just yet. The reason why I had stopped in the first place wasn't because I was tired, but because I needed all the air I could get before I make a decision; right in front of me were two stairs, on the left is some spiral steps going above, on my right was a spiral steps going below. I have decided that the better choice was going on my right, I would rather go even further below than risk being caught by the thing that was trying to find me. I hastily went down the stairs, it was well lit despite not being maintained for years, maybe that added to the unease I was feeling.
Each step making a loud metallic sound, I figured that it already knows where I am, so there's no point in masking my presence. I've reached the floor that the wide spiral stairs was leading me towards, and as if its a sick twists of fate, my only way forward was blocked by rows and rows of thick metallic bars. I have been going down those steps for minutes and I figured that it was too late to go back, so the only option I was presented with was to fight the thing that has been tormenting me. I picked up two sharpened rebar and stood my ground, I knew that there was no chance I would win, but despite that, I stood relaxed while waiting for my opponent. Maybe it's part of the human spirit to fight in a losing battle, but I had accepted that this wasn't going to end well and I would rather end it while standing my ground. It was that assurance that it wasn't going to end well that had kept my composure, as it only took seconds for my assailant to arrive. 10 meters away from me, us divided by the hallway that will serve as an arena, was a girl with long black silky hair and a pink eastern dress going down the steps happily as if she was playing tag. She was breathtaking, and so was the underground bunker I was in, as I came to the realization that this beautiful girl was the very thing I was running away from, and I'm sure there was a good reason as to why I was terrified. She was enthusiastically gunning for me and I was anticipating on bringing harm to this girl, I hid the sharpened steel, behind my back and pretended to walk around. She was getting closer to me, just happily going towards me, and I was getting excited over this new development. Excited that she was happy to see me? Or the fact that I was going to stab her? I couldn't hide my excitement either, as she was happy to see me, I was happy to finally get the chance to plunge this sharp and thick metal rod deep inside her. As she got in front of my face, the first thing she did was hug me, and I on the other hand impaled the sharpened metal stick on her sides. I won, I went through with my twisted resolve and came out on top, every single push of the sharp stick going deeper filled me with so much joy. And then I realized that she never flinched nor notice the sharpened rebar sticking out on her sides, as she was somehow still caressing my back and talking to me. I was dumbfounded. She was talking to me and was genuinely smiling to me while she shakes my shoulders. There aren't any words to use to describe what I felt at this moment, like a cocktail of emotions mixed in a 100 gallon barrel and drinking it all in one swig, I just stood there while she rambles on, I couldn't even understood what she was saying, but I knew that she was extremely happy. She pounced on me and knocked me off balance, I hit my head on the floor and passed out.

You'd  think that there would be an internal monologue going in your head once you're out cold, but there isn't any. It's just nothing, and it was the good kind. But only a second passed before I was dragged back into the mortal realm, or maybe its the immortal realm in my case? I woke up to the distant and annoying voice of the girl that had knocked me over, she was shaking my shoulders and I could see the skies behind her, the tip of her sleeves were dirtied by the dirt that she had laid me on. I resented the fact that I was back in this place and only had a second of tranquility. She began to speak clearly and I could finally understand her, but I sharply interrupted her with one simple question, "What" she pushed off my question and began to joke around it, repeating "What" over and over again in different tones, what an annoying brat, but I was somewhat relieved to see her mess around again, despite all that had happened. I finally stood up to observe my surroundings while she drones on and on in the background, I was in an unfamiliar land, everything was barren and it looks like civilization has long been gone, maybe that was the purpose of the bunker I was in, but I wouldn't know why I was in it in the first place as I don't really need a shelter similar to that, and even if I do need it, I wouldn't really want to go in the first place. I dismissed the thought and tried to piece out where I am now and what had happened, first thing I thought was how I got from the deep underground to the surface, maybe she dragged me all the way out? But she was the type of person to take an easy way out, and that immediately gave the answer, she probably removed my head and carried it like a toy from there to here, I have no proof that this had happened, but I was sure that is what happened. It almost made me nostalgic just by forming that thought, but I have no recollection of what had happened shortly before I was in the bunker or how this had happened on the surface, I have some basic thoughts on how it happened, but not the why. Knowing that I won't go so far just thinking about it, I decided to ask her what had happened, and like clockwork, answered with the most half-assed answer there is, I knew I wasn't going to get anything out of her, so I figured that I would explore around to see if I could gouge any answers from the surroundings.
She kept rambling on and on about how her days went and how dirty her dress were, but I finally spotted something interesting in the distance, it was a girl with a bright yellow hair and a similarly bright red vest, she was enthusiastically going somewhere and it looks like she saw something, a tunnel, it was a tunnel that had alot of abandoned vehicles going in and out of it, I decided to rush over to the entrance while the brat from behind me still ramble on. It was a dark tunnel made out of concrete, there were abandoned vehicles everywhere in it, and stranger yet, a silhouette of a tall figure at the end of the tunnel. It was almost as tall as the bigger machines that were scattered through the tunnel, it was wearing a long and black dress, similar to the one the brat behind me is wearing but longer, and has a similarly long hair but with a fiery color to it. I would say that I felt a sharp glare going on our direction, but I never really saw her face, or maybe it's more accurate to say that she didn't have any. The moment I got halfway to the tunnel, she wandered off out of view and disappeared. I feel like I needed to find out who it was or if its a threat, I continued to the end of the tunnel only for it to disappear, despite the fact that rough terrain surrounded the sides of the road and the only proper way was for it to go forward and still be in view, I decided to keep going faster to somehow catch up with it, but then finally encountered a new group of people. It was a small girl with a light blue hair wearing a dirty and tattered dress, she had long nails that were so long that it curled, it was almost pitiful, but it looks like she could handle herself, if only barely. I was too caught up with seeing the tall figure to ask the right questions to the small girl, so I immediately asked her if they encountered a tall figure wearing a foreign dress, and shortly after two of her allies arrived, one girl was similar to the tall figure I had encountered and had an even more fiery color and was wearing a similarly foreign dress but in green, the other one is wearing a blue and white dress that I'm unfamiliar with. I was so focused as to what I saw at that tunnel that I forgot about the original reason as to why I wanted to ask questions in the first place. They were similarly wandering around like us, but were also trying to find something else, in the distance is what seemed to also be their ally, trying to catch up to her group, it was a girl with a lightly colored pajama which were also dirty. I was so caught up with observing what clothing the others have and how they've sustained damage that I never realized that I was wearing an even dirtier counterpart to what the brat was wearing. I asked the girl with the fiery hair if she saw someone wearing a similar foreign garb to hers, but dismissed the question as if they also have no idea. She responded back with a question if I also saw a person with yellow hair and a red dress, but refused as I didn't encounter any person fitting the description, forgetting how I discovered the tunnel in the first place. The group looked extremely exhausted and the encounter was the only rest they've had after hours, we decided to part ways and kept going our way, while they go the way from where we came from.
After the encounter, Kaguya finally told me something interesting, "The person we encountered at the end of the tunnel was staring at me."

To be continued

The original pastebin with the shorter version of all the dreams was deleted when I accidentally closed the tab I was typing in and in a fit of rage, I decided that I'll salvage everything and make a sort of connected story, as I still have 6 more Touhou dreams that I could work with. There were 3 seperate dreams I used, the bunker section with Kaguya, the encounter with Junko on the tunnel, and encountering the koumakan group.
I'm not sure if I should lean more on a more understandable story or make it more faithful to how it actually happens.
Its implied that Mokou is the POV of the story, but originally I didn't knew who I was. But I figured that the banter between Kaguya and Mokou fitted, and kept it. The part with being stuck at a dead end reminded me of Umineko, when they were being chased underground.
The part with encountering Junko in the tunnel was also originally more dream-like, as inside the tunnel was an entire rainforest with a river and everything. It was still a highway tunnel, but inside its walls was an entire ecosystem.
Encountering Remilia was also its separate dream and the dream with a barren and nuclear landscape, almost like a first person perspective of the original Fallout. I figured that the first dream fit the settings of the third one, so they were merged together, and the tunnel dream added to get from point A to B.
I still have 6 dreams I could work with, which are:
Sleep paralysis and a dead Yuyuko in my closet
Going on a date with Aya and cheating on her with Megumu
Being extremely angry towards Sanae
Encountering Satori in a park
Junko dying on my arms
Being Koishi
I'm not sure if I can piece it together, but I could probably make a separate story and piece them to different clumps.
Not sure if I should make a part 2, maybe I'll figure out how to go with it.
Probably months after this thread or a few months if there's enough request. Make of that what you will.
For now the story is a cliffhanger. I'll probably polish these dreams in a few years and provide visuals to what I saw,
assuming that I could get good enough to draw it and hope that lightning strikes twice.
