Maybe a reverse of this (well, that's not quite right). I have had recurring dreams in the past of being in an enclosed space like in a mall or in the halls of a large college building where I can find no exit—just endless rooms, halls, etc. In the dreams it's kind of threatening but also kind of exciting: the endless possibilities. How I imagine Hong Kong, also, BTE. I've never been but would love to go there. Oh, and Kowloon City.)
This seems to have crept into the game, Glider (a game where you control a paper airplane through a long house), that I wrote over three decades ago. In playing some of the longer houses I start to get a little claustrophobic.
It could of course be a coincidence: the dreams, game design. It's also possible I am misremembering the period when I first had the dreams—perhaps they actually began after the first shareware version of the game.

- JKCalhoun 1y agoYeah, sorry, I know it is no more. I see how I joined that with Hong Kong though to make it sound like I want to visit it. :-)

- mister_mort 1y agoHave you ever played the bizarro dungeon RPG "Kowloon's Gate"? Navigating through that madness might be right up your alley.
- JKCalhoun 1y agoI'll check it out. Thank you.
- mock-possum 1y agoAw man “exploring interior spaces” is one of my favorite dream genres.
- m4rtink 1y agoThat might just have been the infinite Ikea from SCP-3008[0] or the City[1] from the Blame manga (includes rooms suspiciously sized the same as Jupiter, stairs you need months to walk on to reach the top, indoor clouds and a common lack of railings).
