Talk:Rico's Nightmare/@comment-24155827-20131210212759

I've been looking around a bit and this can be interpreted in numerous ways, I think. You may be on to something with the guilt thing, as being naked or noticing your sudden nakedness (as Rico does when he first enters this segment) in a dream may indicate shamefulness. It can also signify being fearful or ridiculed, especially when trying to impress others, which may tie into Rico's tendency to be "overconfident." It may also explain when his bio says he "isn't quite the hero he imagines himself to be."

The presence of the NQPD (the police) can symbolize the law, structure, or authoritative control. It can also mean that one needs to put an end to one's reckless behavior or the "law" will catch up to you. This can tie to Rico's tendency to be, as Viggo put it in the opening cutscene, a "smooth talking joker.." though that may be a stretch.

That's what i found, anyway.
