The red room in Henry and Aurora’s dream seems descriptive of a royal courtroom, and the color “Red” sounds a tiny bit descriptive of the Queen of hearts. Of course there was a “he” AND a she seen in this dream. Could the Sandman (a mythical character who sprinkles dust in the eyes of children to give them “good” dreams) be involved? Or Morpheus (the god of sleep)? Maybe not, since I doubt gods fit into this fairy tale universe. But when was the last we seen the Queen of hearts anyway? I’m wondering if she might return as a big time villain.
I really like the idea of the Queen of Hearts (and I’m assuming now that she’s Cora) being involved in this somehow. She’s become a major character on the show, and as far as we’re seeing, most evil things tend to lead back to her. (Well, OR Rumple)
Plus, we know that there's an upcoming episode about the Queen of Hearts.
As for gods becoming involved… I don’t think it’s TOO out of reach. It may be a bit unlikely NOW, but who knows what they’ll bring in? 🙂
In the “Doors Lead to FTL” thread, we theorized A LOT about some of the different worlds, and gods definitely came up. I forget which ones, but they’re in that thread. 😀
Really, I feel like the writers have opened up the possibilities for, well, anyone who isn’t “real” to appear. They clearly stated that we’d be seeing “story book” characters, and… there are LOTS of story books.
I also like someone’s theory (I forget who) that each book that’s written created a new world. Kind of like in Inkheart, if anyone’s read that. It may not be plausible, but… it’s interesting. 🙂
