: As a side note, is there any reason to even have a level like Where are
: Monsters in Dreams even in the game? I don't see how it fits in the
: storyline.
Personally I think it was very necessary. I think that the "Seven hundred and sixty one armless and legless corpses float inconspicuously around the inside of hangar ninety six." terminal serves as a transition between Despair and Rage, the two chapters being metaphorical representations of the first two stages of Rampancy.
"I did this and could have stopped it, but nothing in nature ever follows a gaussian curve. Sure, they'll tell you that it does. They say that every five minutes someone dies in a car accident, but how often are there seven hundred and sixty one armless and legless corpses in one hangar?"
It's just one of many theories, of course. But I think Infinity is partly the security officer's own personal, metaphorical trip through Rampancy. If I'm correct, that could mean Where are Monsters in Dreams is a psychological transition between two emotions.
