Wasn't that a flashback?

If his dreamself is alive at that time he'll probably be revived by Jade (though John would be way funnier/better), if it's not he's done like dinner.

You mean this?

I thought that was doomed dave from forever ago.

On another note, happy Aradia makes me happy.

Depends on how you define forward and back when you're dealing with a dude what time travels like a motherfucker. It was pretty obviously a 'older' Dave than the one we've been following, though (or Dave just doesn't like talking about how he was murdered).

Edit: Ah yeah, mighta been the doomed Dave. Forgot about that.

What, this bit? I thought that was a call back to way back here.

e: Bluh.

Alternatively: Dave's dreamself isn't dead, but the HORRORTERRORS pulled it into the dream bubbles so they could better instruct him on how to make that map.

Solid Snake · 02-11-2011, 06:48 PM

...It seems like the most sensible assumption to make right now is that Dave's Dreamself dies at one point or another and we just haven't yet seen how, but if his Dreamself was dead that would allow Aradia to communicate with Dave when he's asleep through a dream bubble.

...Still, it's rather strange that Andrew wouldn't show us what happen(ed) to DreamDave first.

EDIT: So the Horrorterrors put DreamDave into some sort of a trance? Sucked him into the netherworld, even?
...Well, that might be interesting.
...But jeez, this whole ordeal makes me regret all this time-jumping shenanigans. It's difficult to interpret this all cohesively.

Vriska was able to communicate with WV through dreams and WV doesn't have a dream self and wasn't dead.

I think the safer assumption is that Aradia is doing the same thing.

Really, you're surprised?

Because time displacement is all Dave's ever done since entering the medium.

Am I the only one to notice Dave's coolkid reaction to a troll fairy in a hoodie materializing behind his back? Such a blistering cool kid. But at some point, like in the case of colonel Kilgore, we have to raise the question how much of it is icy nerves and how much is perception and reaction impaired to such a degree that we have to suspect brain damage.

Hell, it's all he has been doing before entering the Medium. From his very first appearance. The first time the comic pulls the whole "skip back a few minutes from a different character's perspective and see the same conversation that we just saw from the first character's perspective" was with Dave.

But yeah another option is that Aradia decided to talk to Dave back when his dreamself was only half-awake, and Dave had regular dreams.
In fact it might be the reason why he was half-awake instead of just sleeping like Rose or John.

So cool I caught frostbite and lost a few fingers.
