I can read in my dreams, the problem comes when I try to re-read anything because the text changes when I do. That's actually a known tactic for figuring out if you're in a dream so you can go lucid; check your watch, look away, check your watch again. If you're in a dream, it'll be a completely different time both times you check it. The funny part is you might not even wear a watch in real life but the fact you're wearing one in your dream is perfectly fine.

Absolutely. Having completed any of the Rain World romances without looking it up is a display of pure skill and gaming grit.

Its less impressive if you use a guide, of course.

in the Downpour DLC, for Inv, yes.

Of course, to even unlock Inv, you must follow these instructions:

"Chant His name upon 7 or 8 inscribed bricks of a pillar"
"His name can be found in the door of the desert"
"It does not matter whenever the door is opened, closed or passed through. The lock is the key and the key is the means."
"Do as you have done before, give it a name"

and thats only step one to unlocking the romances.

Then you have to complete Invs campaign via ascension, which is widely regarded to be the most difficult rain world campaign by a wide margin.

That unlocks the romance options

Would you be my new best friends?

A regular recurring thing in my dreams is that I'll be out and about somewhere and realize I want to go home, but that's far away, but luckily I forgot that I have another house that I just... forgot I have. Sometimes in my dreams it's a place I was paying rent on but moved somewhere else and never stopped, sometimes it's a place I bought and never got around to moving into, but most often it's just... my place. It's a place that is mine, and I could have gone there anytime but I just... forgot to.

Re: Psychonauts 2, perhaps my favorite joke is when Raz pops back to a memory of the camp from the first game, looks around in awe and says,"Wow, it's hard to believe it's been 3 whole days since I was last here." :allears:

My latest memorable dream did actually involve me reading something off a smartphone. I dreamt that my mum messaged me saying she wanted to buy an NFT and I basically woke up screaming MUM NO

Yep. Tang on the rocks with a dash of lemon juice is still a lovely vitamin C supplement / chaser.
