Just realised when the RV crashed Jim is hanging upside down. Reminded me of the vision Tabatha had in the light house. When he’s hanging upside down. Just noticed it from the end of your video. Loving this show tho. But feel people are to in a rush for answers and not letting the story be told slowly. Hope it doesn’t get cancelled.

[@jimbeam5607]

Re: Donna, healing and both: I'm open to the idea that Donna has something deeply in common with Grandmother Spider, thus possess a healing aura; especially since wounds often "require stitches" and healing is often described as "the flesh is knitting". That could also explain why Colony House has no death penalty; she's a creator, not a destroyer. Lastly, you may find this interesting - _A social spider is a spider species whose individuals form relatively long-lasting aggregations. Whereas most spiders are solitary and even aggressive toward other members of their own species, some hundreds of species in several families show a tendency to live in groups, often referred to as_ *colonies*.

[@burtonmoore996]

Donna being a mole is a red herring. Honestly, does the town even need a mole? They, who/what ever they are, seem to be observing everything. They knew about the hole in the Matthews house, when they had told no one else. If Donna is anything it's helpful.

[@chibi_rabbit]

Good theory on colony house.

[@jimbeam5607]

Don't have a lot of time right now, but wanted to drop a quick line and some brief thoughts and observations (I may explain them later if I get time but I'll let you chew on them anyway for now): 1. The design on Victor's bag looks a bit like a broken infinity symbol as seen on the wall in either the tunnels or Tabitha's dream 2. "The Lonely Dragon" is always around heat/fire either cooking or candles (her husband's shrine) and is cut by the glass of water that broke. 3. The (empty) pool is diagonally across from the diner (fire) and the playground (youth/life) is diagonally across from the cemetery (age/death). 4. Elgin has dreams of the water on the way into the town; a dream of water once he's there; talks with people beside the Brundles (pond); talks with Julie by the (empty) pool. 5. Elgin says "knitting comforts him" in Colony house. Could it be considered akin to web-spinning? 6. Is Colony house healing people or is Donna's aura? Jim doesn't heal quickly perhaps because he and Donna are frequently at odds, perhaps? Boyd does because - while he does butt heads with Donna - they're still actually close. Lastly, you're crushing it with this channel! Like many other I'd love longer videos but don't listen to us! You do what you've been doing - stay clear, on point and stop when it needs to stop; don't just fill air. Bro, I can sincerely say I dig your vids as much as the show (probably more). Stay with it. Peace & wellness to you and yours. PS: Liking the new music; nowhere near as distracting. Good choice!

[@jasoncaldwell5627]

MY CRAZY IDEAS SO FAR: The whole "eldritch horror/aliens" ideas have a huge overlap potential. Nothing says they can't be both in a Lovecraft way. The "you have to get out before the music stops" seems to be tied to the blood circle- we see several in the book- all leading up to the one with three points downward. I think that's a countdown. Each circle is an event leading to the town massacre/reset. Possibly the "but then someone screamed because the spider came down from the ceiling" event Ethan was talking about in his post seizure dream. The Circles might be a map to the Faraway Trees- how to get to the Lighthouse and out before the Red Monster thing can catch them? Each cycle has the same general character slots- possibly indicating a game reset with characters either being refined or plucked from alternate realities. I say that last bit because we see Jade talking to himself about wormhole theory- and he "created a whole company from pure imagination" prior to arriving. Victor's mom seems to be wearing the same bracelet that Tabitha said she made for Jim. She also has two children like Victor's mom- a boy and girl. She also tells her daughter to look after her brother- a reverse of what Victor's mom told him. Sarah's brother was the town farmer- he died and was replaced by one of the bus guys (the one that was in the bar with poor Julie). He outright says "I grew up on a FARM, remember?" But the monsters got him (though we never saw it) and now there's a food shortage. Was Martin the Boy In White? It's possible he projected himself out of his physical form. It's telling that he died and we haven't seen the Boy since. Then there's the numbers. The town keeps the same number of people all the time. Count the deaths with new arrivals and you'll get the same balance over and over. New people mean new deaths. There's the school turned "medical building"- with old Halloween decorations on the floor. I believe that what made the monsters was part of the 1950s cycle. The monsters were high-schools seniors at a Halloween Dance- explaining why we see a Cowboy, a Nurse, a Milkman, a Bride, etc. They're wearing COSTUMES. The rest of the monsters are either dressed for the dance- like the ones that got into the Colony House. Or they're school staff and chaperones. The monsters have dessicated organs because the humans died 730 years ago. Lastly, there's The Cromenackle. Ethan's story seems to be a guide on how to get through the cycle. There's a "Lonely Dragon with a "cave full of discarded things no one wanted that everyone thought was trash but the Lonely Dragon saw as treasure ". Is that Kenny's mom- Ms.Chen? She's lonely, has the storeroom full of old possessions AND has the name "Tien Chen"- a Dragonball Z character name!? Is the Lonely Dragon's cave the monster tunnels? They're also full of discarded stuff. American Pickers would love this town. Lastly, CAN it be all a dream? Boyd tells Abby's grave "maybe I'm in a hospital bed and you and Ellis are trying to wake me up" and Tabitha hit her head real hard in the RV accident- then when she's dreaming of the inside of the Lighthouse, Jim drops down upside down - just like in the RV crash and opens his mouth to the sound of the RV's horn before the crash. There's also a toy RV among the toys left on the lighthouse stairs. All of the native American ideas are valid- the Dreamcatcher, the crafting of stories, the crow feather in the Dreamcatcher, etc. Is THAT why the voices told Sarah to kill Toby (Jade's friend)? Because he'd know it all wasn't real? The children were drown in the Brundels/Lake of Tears. That's my guess. Their bodies are down there but their souls are bound to the Lighthouse. The healing factor is directed. Ellis heals quick but Jim and Marielle do not. Tilly is the ringer- showing up to sow discord and stop Jim from examining the flickering Exit Sign, to give Marielle the temptation of the liquid morphine, etc. She might be one of the other monsters from Victor's drawings. There's an all black one with red eyes... There probably IS NO MOLE. If the powers controlling everything can tell the monsters everyone's names, collapse a house and make freaking dreams that come true, there's no need for a spy.

[@ReelEnigmasandTheories]

Very interesting points to think about. Maybe not a, "mole" but someone(other than Victor) definitely knows something they are not speaking about.

[@jasoncaldwell5627]

@@ReelEnigmasandTheories My guess is Tilly.

[@bluekashus2499]

I was talking about how Randall (wolf shield) is half right about Donna. See, there are always two opposing forces, light and dark. It might not be a coincidence that Ethan saw the boy in White at Colony House. I too noticed the dream catcher in the kitchen but I also noticed in Season 1 the loaf of bread on the table. When the Matthew's arrived, it was a full loaf and then throughout the season it diminishes. Bread takes on a biblical meaning for life. I am under the impression that Donna works or serves the lightside of this place and maybe her sister serves the darkness, if in fact her origin story is a twisting of the truth. Great catch on Jim's protection via the bracelet. Q: do you think Tabs vision of the tower, that she was presented a choice via the toys and items on the stairwell? Kind of like a Hindu totem choice. They did do this in Lost with John Locke.

[@KimberlyMerriweather]

I do believe Donna is a witch and so was her "sister" but I don't believe they were sisters biologically

[@ReelEnigmasandTheories]

Yes there are two opposing forces and the residents are caught in the middle, some by way of circumstance and others by bloodline and association. I noticed the bread on the counter when Donna and Ellis were talking to Jade in the kitchen. I'm not quite sure about Donna's involvement yet but I'm sure she knows something. I have a video coming up about Tabitha and Jim soon. Some very interesting details I picked up. My answer to your question will be in there.

[@JaneHasGame]

[@KimberlyMerriweather]

The dreamcatchers didn't help Elgin so they can't stop these nightmares I do agree that somethings up with Donna. I believe Donna is a witch. Someone asked: why would Donna have a framed portrait of her and her "sister" when they were traveling together on a hunting trip?? Who brings along a framed portrait?? She "moved" into Fromville, she didn't happen to end up there. Also, these residents have abilities. Very powerful spiritual abilities.

[@adithalee8660]

Donna could be a witch, she said she's a teacher and teachers do look into anything dealing w/ knowledge. But she could also be a scientist working for the government who was once a professor of science or ancient antiquity. Professor is just a higher word for teacher. She handles her fear well. Teachers have to train themselves not to be fearful and that comes from having knowledge and maintaining their emotions and cool yet being controlling and dictatorial at the same time as well as nurturing and trying to bring fun to those they feel who don't know are unaware of a situation. They're always trying to maintain balance within various situations. That's why I've always said, Teachers could become politicians if they wanted to.

[@ReelEnigmasandTheories]

Elgin wasn't given a dreamcatcher. Maybe it has to be used a certain way or activated. Who knows?

[@TheCromenockleFletch]

Boyd travelled trough time and it was foreshadowed since season 1 Tabitha's vision.. In her vision you can see the date 1864, the bottle with the date in it and THE FREAKING ROPE (that everyone's talking) next to the bottle, and the bottle felling downstairs (like Boyd when he entered the farway tree) All connected. Boyd tooked the bottle even after Sarah told him it was dangerous. When he entered the farway tree he traveled back in time to 1864.. MAYBE THEY NEED TO TRAVEL TROUGH ALL THOSE DATES TO FIND THE TRUE ORIGIN 🤯🤯

I think miracle dream baby is important because it will have same abilities as other things made from dreams, or a resistance to being trapped in the web of connecting nightmares that form the realm they’re trapped in. Maybe it’s a bridge baby and they need a human born in a dream. Fatima may only be a surrogate since the town repaired her womb and provided the seed. It will probably even be an extremely short pregnancy because of the fast healing thing. Therefor: Literal antichrist dreamwalker time travel bridge baby, Elgin the God that’s also a power ranger too probably. Think I’m connecting the dots right. Probably.
