I posted it in another thread but I’ll post this theory here too…
Ok there’s some pieces I can’t quite put together so I’m just gonna lay them out and hope for some good ideas as to how they fit together. I think the connection that Henry and Aurora are seeing each other is a pretty safe assumption to make. In the dream a room is mentioned with red curtains but now windows or doors. So some how across these two worlds there’s a kind of connection being made. There’s only one place i’ve seen a place that is a link between worlds and has these red curtains. That’s the room Jefferson’s hat takes them too when they’re going between worlds. As to where the doors are maybe since it’s just a dream there are none since there’s no way to physically travel between worlds like that? Or maybe the curse destroyed the doors with those other worlds only leaving the EF which is why there’s fire? I may be completely off but I think that those dreams and that room the hat takes you too are the same room.
It’s common in fantasy and science-fiction shows to use dreams are previews of upcoming events. I think this is the case with the nightmare: a flashforward to something that will happen. As soon as Aurora described it, and Snow said it was just a dream, I knew there would be more to it.
I agree with you that it probably is a room that connects between worlds. Not the room from Jefferson’s hat (which was round) but another similar room – this one square or rectangular, since there are corners. Not all portals are doors, as we’ve seen with the mirror Cora was pushed through. The drapes would be to cover the different portals, since there are no doors or windows.
My thinking is that David managed to build a portal. He told Henry to stay behind, but of course, Henry did not listen. The fire would have been started by Cora, but leave the princesses stranded in Enchanted Forrest.
I know there are probably problems with my theory, but I look forward to others building on it or criticizing it to make it stronger.
