Interesting theory… I hope it's not true! However, I think Kikiyama did actually contact people post-Yume Nikki. There was an email exchange explaining why he made Yume Nikki.
I have a feeling that he may actually be active on the Japanese internet - anyone know of any native speakers confirm this?
Oh hey, just thought of another theory and a positive way to read the ending - Yume Nikki actually takes place in a sort of purgatory. Madotsuki has already commited suicide by the time the game starts. She has to somehow resolve her trauma before she can pass on. When she gathers all the effects by exploring her twisted psyche and remains of her memories, the stairs appears giving her a way to move to the next life.
It also explains why she shakes her head and refuses when the player tries to get her to leave her room. It's as if she knows she has something she must do before she can leave.

My heart now aches for Kikiyama now…

one thing i wanna say is that FACE if you look at it side ways it totally looks like a vagina representing Madotsuki violated pride.
Also! I heard a really interesting inception theory that suggest yume nikki actually is in a dream already and her jump frees her. There is a lot of evidence if you think about. And it doesn't disprove the rape theory.
