I dreamed I was playing through DOTK, got through the first and second parts, and reached the bit in part 3 where you have to swing on a hook. I made a pig's ear of whatever I was trying to do (something about getting gems) and got cornered by a Knaaren. I decided to run back to the previous room to renew the Lockjaw, but as I was doing so, I noticed a fairly big hole in the floor to my right. I decided to jump in, for the sake of it, and as expected found myself in the realm of the Zombie Chickens (indicated by the "calming" music we were discussing the other day
However, I noticed that I was facing a spiral door. "That's different," I thought, and I went into it. I emerged back where I had seen the hole in the floor, but now realized that there had been a spiral door up there hiding behind a pillar. In fact, I still couldn't see it but inferred it from the fact that Rayman ran out from behind said pillar. All very odd!
Next I noticed that there was a little square hole in the wall, blocked by a bright orange tile. I definitely knew that that had not been there before I used the spiral door, and I decided to shoot it. The tile broke, and Rayman was just able to squeeze through the hole. I ended up in a room like the Heart of the World, only darker because, well, it was in DOTK! And there were red and green gems moving (!) around in there!
At this point I decided to quit the game, start recording (somehow!) and do all this again, so I could post my incredible finding! But then I realized that it was actually a demo I'd been playing, not the final game, and that the reason I'd never seen any of this before was that it had been scrapped. Still, I felt it was quite a discovery. But then I woke up.
By the way, even though I said "I" in the above description, I never believed I was in the world. It was always just me controlling Rayman, on my PC. Usually in my dreams I tend to get mixed up about that, but not in this case…
