[Effects] Pretty much all the feelings one gets when they develop their first crush: panic, happiness, anxiety, embarrassment, confusion, longing, etc. etc.
[FILTERS: RANDOM!?] [because Tamaki pretty much scrambled to try and filter this from everyone, he wound up making a giant mess of the filters instead. so it's still pretty much public, but some parts are filtered from others and some are not. so here's a (hopefully not confusing) guide of how it works:
If you've never met Tamaki before: The dream will be pretty much unfiltered. Anyone who knows Haruhi may recognize her.
Castmates and close friends EXCEPT HARUHI: The dream will be pretty much unfiltered, and they'll be able to tell it's Haruhi.
If you know Tamaki or have spoken to him at least once: Dream is mostly unfiltered, but for some reason, the girl's face is either shadowed over or just cut from the screen completely. Any mentioning of the name is muted or scrambled. However, it's probably obvious who it is, regardless, because this is Tamaki we're talking about, so feel free to have the characters recognize who she is anyway.
Haruhi F.: You get a special filter 8Da; Since Haruhi was the one he definitely tried to filter this from, it's...a mess. She'll be able to see most of the dream, but she won't be able to tell who the girl is at all. The voice will be muted with only subtitles, any name references are muted/scrambled, and the face is either overshadowed or cut if there's a close up.
IF ANYONE IS CONFUSED...then just feel free to pick whether or not the character would recognize Haruhi or not xD I'm writing it as if it were just unfiltered for simplicity's sake. Plus, we can always just say it's all thanks to Tamaki's fail!filter skills |D]

( Just another high school romance!? )
AAAAAAAAHHH!!!!!
[and this would be Tamaki shooting out of bed and scrambling to do his frantic fail!filter.
HE CAN'T LET HARUHI SEE THIS, OH GOD.]
