Theory

Also voting for >1, we should def save Daydream for last.

Speaking of Daydream, what if Daydream is the OI, and the in construct Alice is the real Alice? It could just be toying with us, gathering information by pretending to be friendly. A little unlikely, I know, but a thought nonetheless.

I've been playing around with a sort of similar theory. Basically, what if Alice was actually possessed at a young age by a monster, and having lost her body she became the poster monster/unknown entity? That would mean the Alice/Daydream we know is actually not native to that body. It seems pretty outlandish, but there's a few things that actually would make sense this way:

• We never see Raziel being conjured. Maybe this is because the "original" Alice conjured him, and he then defaulted to the new owner of his body?
  
• Alice's infatuation with Derrick could have something to do with being a monster for eons. He would probably be her first friend, her first normal human she's talked to in countless years.
  
• The bit in Alice's intro about not being who she claims to be would make sense, although the rest of the cryptic prose is still totally puzzling.
  
• Lucas would be in love with a monster who possessed a girl, which strikes me as kinda fitting given his "erroneousExorcist" chumhandle.
  
• Alice making Garry fall asleep outside of a dream (although in the construct) when she shouldn't even know she's not in the real world. Maybe monsters possessing people have powers? We've heard about possession all story, but since iP says we hypothetically can prevent the kids from suffering that fate, it makes me wonder if there is some guaranteed way in which we'll see what possession does.
  
• The fact that Alice seems to do a lot of non-genuine things to seem "normal" like filling her room with bright cheery stuff might have to do with not being a normal human.
  

I don't really believe this is likely at all, but it's fun to theorize! Alice is such a fun character because of how confusing everything about her is. Like seriously, I think we've so far had 4 at least somewhat different Alice's confirmed to be roaming around? (Construct Alice, Sentinel Alice, Daydream, Poster Monster)

GOTTA GO FAST!

xD

I just about lost it at that part as well

Gotta say, that went really smoothly! I guess when you have causality on your side things just tend to work out. Based Lunatic Uilos really delivered with those souls! This new ability sounds incredibly useful for if we run into friendlier monsters.

So does Emily always dream in this anachronistic manner, or is this only in the construct? It kind of makes sense that she gets captured a lot if this is her modus operandi, since she could easily get into a sticky situation.

Although this theory would explain alice's strangeness attribute very well, it's probably not the case, the kids only start dreaming at a certain age (Lucia when she was shot and Derrick sometime after) at the point where Lucia and Derrick first meet on the dream world, Alice is not supposed to be dreaming yet, since Alice wasn't dreaming it's impossible that she was possesed before entering the dream world the first time. as stated by Pechal on this page, Alice wasn't supposed to be dreaming yet.

Pechal: She never woke up to know anything.
Pechal: Then we heard stuff...
Lucia: Stuff like what?
Pechal: Stuff like, she's been walking around, being seen in Lomam.
Pechal: But, she shouldn't be! because she never woke up.

as for Daydream, I don't think she was possesed either, if she were she wouldn't know who Derrick and the other kids are, and besides, a kid's conjuration dissapears when they get possesed, the possesor doesn't steal their conjurations, only their body, and I don't think they enter the dreamworld.
also, if you wanna see more theories, you can see what i've come up with here.

Good points. However, it seems like guardians are actually vulnerable before they start dreaming: https://mspfanventures.com/?s=3039&p=1584

Lucia: So what do you think of Archadia? What was it trying to do?
Kalem: Trying to body snatch is what!
Kalem: Poor Lexii is vulnerable right now...
Kalem: Some freak can waltz in her bedroom, attack her, and she'd be locked up in here with me.
Kalem: While some evil bastard roams around in her body, never to be seen again.

But that doesn't really fit well with the Raziel thing, since she couldn't have conjured him while not properly dreaming. And also, the "never to be seen again" part does seem to imply the evil bastard wouldn't return to the dreamworld at night.

I like your document though! Very interesting, especially all the weird eye symbolism that seems to follow Lucia everywhere. Is the whole Narren is Garry's sister thing still a thing people believe as well?

Anyway, >Emily: Discuss how long you could survive in the poison cloud, and ask if Piper can send you to a deeper dream level to help you get closer to Mephita

I can't remember if that is just a Bambino/Ira thing or if all the conjurations have that ability. I think we can get out of the deeper level by repeating the last thing she said though, so traveling to the fort near Mephita or just going to the bedroom directly should work if she can survive a short time in the poison cloud. If not, does anyone know any rock jokes?
