Some Dream Thread
I was going to write a blog about how I've been suffering from insomnia lately and how I've been having quite unusual dreams as a result of this, (I even dusted off my old dream catcher) but instead I thought I'd contribute to the forums with a thread about dreams/nightmares, so let's get this night aprty started.
I might have mentioned this one in passing before, but here goes.
As a child, Abe's Exoddus was the first game I ever played, unfortunately due to my age I lacked the skill necessary to do more complex parts of the game. This resulted in me being stuck in Necrum for a couple years, as well as a childhood fear of Fleeches. And ofcourse, this lead childhood me to have reoccurring nightmares about Fleeches.
This worsened after asking my parents to let me go on the now old oddworld.com website and finding out that the Glukkons would flush their Fleeches. I was now in the belief that Fleeches would crawl out of the toilet to eat me at night. Thanks, Lorne. Luckily, childhood me came to the quite inspired conclusion that pouring some bath salts into the toilet at night would stop them from coming to me in the real world. The dreams however, they still happened.
As I grew slightly older (and discovered the path skip cheat) I made my way past the area in Necrum with the Fleeches and came upon the Mudanchee Vaults, possessing Scrabs and using them to tear Fleeches to shreds. This lead to one final dream where Scrabs came to my house and killed all the Fleeches. I remember them walking through my garden and myself telling my family to back against the wall because the Scrabs would kill us too if we got in the way. After that I had no more nightmares about them.
Such a nice coming of age story.
