Too much of a coincidence. Time travel, giving suggestions in people's dreams who create these characters and situations, these are all being discussed as real now. Dreams aren't just problem solving and time travel going forward and back has been accomplished in secret space programs.

Bread crumbs to wake us up from the dream.
