The Sounds of Nightmares – Chapter 2: A Penance at the Bathhouse

I love this episode :)

I have no idea why "sweets for the my sweet" sends a shiver down my spine both times i've heard it

you know what would be a wild twist? instead of the "nightmares" being nightmares, the therapy sessions are the things that arent real, an attempt by the monsters to keep noone unaware for extended periods of time

THEORY TIME!!! In my last post on Chapter 1, I said that the mystery child was most likely a character we have seen before like Six or Mono, but now with the inclusion of Jester, it seems all of these children are from elsewhere in the real world, sharing dreams with Noone. It’s also odd that we’re explicitly told that other children have had this exact dream in the past and have put boards down to walk across, permanently affecting the landscape. It’s as if the dreams are a world of their own that these children are simply traveling to and then traveling home, rather than just fantasies with no physical presence whatsoever. The Ferryman, who most theorists believed was simply a man who caught children to bring to the Maw, seems to be the one behind all of these dreams. Perhaps he steals the children from these dreams and takes them to the Maw, which exists inside of Noone’s mind? We can’t really speculate that much about him until we know more, but we know he has a connection to the mysterious Celia from Otto’s past. The way Otto offers Noone a sweet before saying “sweets for my sweet” each session is very clearly a motif the writers are establishing and repeating, and in the words of Otto himself, “repetition implies significance.” Maybe the sweets are some kind of hypnotic induction that create the nightmares? I find it odd that Otto would give sweets to a child struggling with nightmares when sugar before bed tends to stimulate the imagination and cause bad dreams. Something tells me this Otto guy has some skeletons in his closet.

No one gonna talk about jester...he was only there to tell jokes and instead he got made into a joke 😢

The fishes from the sea mentioned at the start already gave me the vibe of the Maw, and also the guests at the bathhouse. But i think the most horrifying thing that is happening is the behavioural change of Otto, he is getting more and more attracted to the idea of finding out why his sister and Noon dreamed about the same ferryman

The noises from Jester in the bathhouse makes your skin crawl. Poor boy.

No way SuperHorrorbro mike wrote this. This is awesome

Weird. Last episode he sounded weirded out by the idea of calling children by numbers, in this episode, he stopped himself from calling noone a number and called her by her name, noone. Also, small note, there's specifically 6 episodes, which could mean something, could not.

Did anyone else hear the lady's theme in the background when Otto started talking about the hypnotherapy? That has to mean something. Oooh in the soundtrack for the first game, that music is called "Hypnosis", could it have some significance?? :0

The fact that this episode seems to reference the guests marching onto the Maw in Little Nightmares 1, the ocean, the Ferryman as the “melting face” could be a reference to his shapeshifting ability, as well as aspects learned from the Little Nightmares 3 trailer like the them of broken mirrors and a “Spiral”.

The strange and faint moan and soundtrack when Noone hears the scream is one of the chefs from the first game.

I thought it sad nobody is mentioning that jester just got used as soap. And the fact that that happened just made my back crawl. And how grotesque that was, is truly horrifying and wonderful for people who like to be scared. Horror bro Mike truly did a wonderful job writing this and I am excited at what the developers of this has in the future

"Sweets for my sweet" that cannot be a coincidence when its been repeated. And we know Otto had someone close to him called "Cece" who had similar if not the exact same nightmares as Noone. He could be seeing Cece in Noone which is only fueling his need to figure out what's going on and to help Noone! Before she befalls the same unknow fate as Cece

I feel like... Noone is becoming more twisted every single time she mentions her nightmares, for Example: at the end of her 2nd nightmare (this chapter), she used the white chemical to kill the monster and when she did, she felt satisfied like a murderer would. so i feel in the end of this broadcast she will turn into one, and the fact that the Counseller calls her "my sweet" might be that the candys shes eating are making her more monstrous, NOT that i think the Counseller/Otto is a bad guy, after all he does try to uncover what this mysterious figure that appears every nightmare.

I'm thinking that maybe these nightmares are trying to take the children into the Little Nightmares world. The children Noone finds in her nightmares are children who have fallen prey to these nightmares, just as the other children from the Little Nightmares franchise have found themselves in the horrible world of Little Nightmares.

He put something in those candies im calling it now

It's crazy how much they speak of moths in the start….. I had an actual dream shortly after playing the first game that included them. A room of moth engravings and in the center a butterfly drawing made from eyes. I identified that moths gather to the light like the guests flocking the Maw, and butterflies, a single one, like Six, was stuck against her will, adapting at her own pace while being scrutinized by everyone aboard. Although they take different forms, they yearn and hunger for the same thing, light. During a further point in my dream, at the pinnacle of the behemoth vessel, Six had reached the Captain's Quarters. (I found it interesting that we never saw the captain and I would imagine “The Captain” as someone similar to how Six was a butterfly - trapped) She was blinded and almost paralyzed by the amount of sunlight penetrating this section of the Maw as she haphazardly stumbled into a shadow where she fully opened her eyes. There at the wheel was The Captain. She only saw up to his waist…..It was then, shortly after she gained her footing, that The Captain recognized Six as an opponent and challenged her without warning. The waves crashed against the bobbing deck of the Maw as the two scrambled for salvation. I didn't see the victor of the fight (probably for my own good) but even if I wanted to (I did) my dream interrupted it with an almost cinema level pan to their shadows puppeting atop of a detailed painting. The painting depicted a small ship with a massive nondescript body lunging out of the water towards it. It was a Japanese sea spirit that…… Its eyes had a blank expressionless stare in the direction of the ship before swiftly and eerily piercing into the audience. Cut to darkness. Then I awoke, submerged in sweat. ( I tried drawing this dream but never finished, this episode definitely inspired me to finish :D )

This Little Nightmares podcast is crazy! And, so is the fact that Superhorrorbro actually helped make this part of it! I'm already looking forward to listening to part 3 when it comes out.

It’s cool how super horror bro actually wrote this he’s now making the lore
