A hub page for the epilogue would be rad. Actually, pretty sure that's what I was imagining for ACT 7.

Last night I had a pretty interesting dream about an alternate way the retcon could have gone down. This dream was surprisingly... consistent unlike other dreams I sometimes have.
Like, I dreamt that pre-retcon Dirk wasn't taken by the glitches and joined John instead of Roxy, and then John and Dirk went to Terezi together. John mastered his retcon powers, and Terezi wrote her bloody scarf instructions, but this time there wasn't that much written on it.
Terezi instructed John to take Dirk and zap them to the Furthest Ring and collect the ghosts of their dead friends (I think Terezi'd written their names on the scarf?), and take them with him. Which resulted in them getting a pretty silly long chain of ghosts, kind of looking like that scene in [S] Dirk: Unite where Jane's holding onto Roxy and she's holding onto Dirk.
And then John zapped them all to the meteor, just as Terezi was about to stab Vriska, and Dirk used his Prince of Heart powers to merge the ghosts into the bodies of the Trolls there, which caused them all to get their pre-retcon memories (and I guess after that John and Dirk probably would have gone on to do the same thing to the dead humans).
Terezi then decided not to stab Vriska, while Karkat became angry at Gamzee and killed him on the spot.
Also, all of the above happened in a flash while Unite Synchronization was playing in the background.
That was actually a really interesting dream, and I think it would have been another interesting way the retcon could have possibly gone down.

That actually sounds more like a real legit theory than a dream, far less nonsensical than they typically are. If Dirk came with John, then what happened to Roxy?

Oh, there's a dream thread? I can post this here then instead of the main thread.
So last night, I had a pretty interesting dream that the purporters of that "psycheout ending epilogue" might like. In particular I was reading a news post by Andrew as he'd started the epilogue. (The funny thing is the dates started from like May 22 to some time in July for about how long it would last) It wasn't going to be very many pages, and it was still going to be very epilogue-ish content rather than the 'true climax' or anything like that, but he said that because the response to the original planned ending was so poor it was putting MSPA in a troublesome state, so the epilogue was going to push things in another direction at the last minute. He said that the original ending would be more like the possible ending of an alternate universe version of homestuck, a potential ending point in another world where I guess there would be no epilogue? Something like that anyway.
I imagine that says some funny things about the state of my psyche regarding all this. Anyway, I never in my dream actually saw the epilogue, but I'm imagining it was kind of going to be more expository content, addressing a lot of dropped plot points and what have you, potentially from the vantage of a narrator who is concluding the story up front. Who that narrator would be, I have no idea.

I had a dream where a Homestuck Side-scrolling shooter / Beat em' up/ Fighting Game was created, and it took place on multiple levels on Earth and various celestial bodies (I think some Sburb areas as well). The final battle against the primary antagonist, Lord English, took place at his base on the largest planet around the Sun.
We were under siege by Planet fucking Jupiter.

I actually just had a dream where homestuck had a crossover with SU, which was pretty strange.

You didn't engage in SLOPPY MAKEOUTS with Karkat? Shame on dream-you. Hey, Dream-me does whatever dream-me wants to do! Mostly because I'm never lucid 99 percent of the time!

OK here's a ridiculous one.
I had a dream where Toby Fox was coming to my school for an auditorium assembly, even though my school doesn't actually have an auditorium. I was surprised to find out that Toby Fox is actually a woman. But after the assembly I found out that wasn't actually Toby and he was coming tomorrow.
Toby's presence in the dream doesn't have anything to do with Undertale which wasn't at all mentioned in my dream.

Last night I dreamt that suddenly there was a new flash in Homestuck, about a bunch of fights going down on Prospit (I have no idea against who). And this Prospit wasn't destroyed at all, unlike the Prospit in the actual comic. The heroes seemed to be doing good, but all of a sudden they began dropping like flies again like in [S] GAME OVER, and even the same song, Carne Vale, suddenly began playing in the background. John had watched Jake die and then Jane as well. Through some kind of weird method, John suddenly acquired a white magic hat (kind of like that purple one he used to have), and the symbols of the bed sheets were on it as well for some reason. Apparently this hat had Page of Hope powers, and John used them to BELIEVE SO HARD in Jane that spontaneously a clone of her appeared out of nowhere? Yeah I dunno. xD And then he used the hat again, focusing very hard, and some white flashing text appeared above the scene: "SPRITE COMBINE", suggesting combining the Sprites? Though at no point in my dream did I witness such a thing. Also during the flash there were a few panels of CD and DD apparently watching the fights together with some other Dersites through some sort of television screen, and they apparently were on Prospit as well. They were wearing some kind of Midnight Crew-like clothes. And meanwhile Clover was also watching the fights through a screen on Prospit, together with some big human guy? I've no idea who he was. Oh, and Clover was also wearing a Midnight Crew-like outfit, but with also some purple mixed into it. The flash was followed by some static pages where the survivors of the fights (being John, Jane (the clone John made), Roxy, Dirk, Kanaya, Jasprosesprite^2 and Andrew apparently) found each other again, and at the same time they also found the B2 BQ who turned out to have been locked up on Prospit instead of having been killed by The Condesce. She was lying there, sleeping on some kind of couch, until they arrived and she woke up. They also found her crown, which was covered up on a pedestal near her.

The dream I had last night didn't have much to do with Homestuck (it was about purifying corrupted water spirits to restore some water flow), but there were a lot of random people helping with the task and Nepeta and Terezi were among them.

A few days ago I had a dream where a bunch of people decided to create Homestuck: The Musical, and I was cast as Jade for some reason. I remember trying to leave for some random reason, but I couldn't because I was in 'the most important song,' which I assumed was related to Cascade. There were only five people actually in it, the beta kids and another person who was sort of like Dad, but not actually in the comic. And none of us had scripts or knew what we were supposed to do.

Maybe fedorafreak's session was featured in the musical, and we got to see him ascend.

I had a dream of wide open vistas of Skaia during the B1 Session; bloodied and battered from Jack Noir's rampage. It was quite beautiful to look at, until my entire vision was filled by a text dump of Vriska's monologing.

I had a dream that another update was posted with the EoA7 curtains opening to Lord English laughing and telling us about how everything went exactly as he had planned. But in real life Hussie didn't even post the update, Lord English himself was doing it, and Hussie was freaking out. It was nice while it lasted.

A few days ago I had a short Homestuck dream that, to be honest, I think made less sense than the comic itself. Condy fed a magic wand through a GristWidget, then absconded. Somebody, I think it was Meenah, got pissed off because *her* wand got destroyed and gave chase. The chase took place up a very long flight of stairs, and I got left behind pretty quickly. On the way up I passed Sollux on the way down, and then Meenah, who'd given up, and just as I reached the top I caught up with a very out-of-breath Karkat but didn't have my own breath to hit him. Then we both got to the top, Vriska appeared and said something snarky, and Karkat and I punched her down the stairs.
Or, well, he punched her. I hit her with a tennis bat. I think I found my strifekind.

I had a dream that it was 10/25 and Hussie made a long news post detailing all his plans for Homestuck media, going at length about the epilogue and the Homestuck 2.0 thing and maybe also Hiveswap. I don't remember what was in it but I remember that it filled me with SO MUCH HOPE.
Also, a few times I've had dreams about meteors approaching my house forcing me to start Sburb. Two nights ago I had a dream within a dream about that. I was walking around streets and kept noticing a meteor approaching, and eventually it became so close to impacting Earth that I thought I'd die for sure, so I realized that must be a dream and started flailing my body around until I woke up in a room different from my bedroom, which is how I know it was a dream within a dream.

No one wants to visit my dream bubbles. I guarantee you this.
Even when they aren't disturbing (which isn't common, but isn't exactly rare either), they're almost always bizarre. I have the weirdest dreams.

I posted this on Reddit too but I'l also share it here. It's a dream about what the epilogue would turn out to be.
John, Aradia, and Terezi were exploring the Furthest Ring while all the other kids presumably got up to their own business. I think Nepeta was there at some point as well, tagging along or something? At the end, someone, I think it was Terezi, got unambiguously sucked into the black whole which really annoyed me, as did John still being presented as lonely, because of, uh, you know what.

I had a rather lengthy and involved dream of epilogue-esque content last night. Almost all of my Homestuck-related dreams seem to be related to predictions about what future updates will be like. Which for the record, none have been anywhere near right. But whatever, here's this one.
This part for a while focused on John, time skipped forward again and everyone were like true adults. They were even starting to raise babies of their own. (No there was no shipping stuff, Roxy wasn't his wife or anything) Actually he was talking to Roxy over the phone. He accidentally hits a bookshelf and knocks a bunch of stuff over, and suddenly his facial features start to flash and disappear. He starts rambling to Roxy about how a sudden desire has come over him to specifically worry over the shoes that were on the shelf over everything else, typing in black instead of blue and gradually correcting his quirk to normal typing. So it was like he was being transformed into a typical Homestuck guardian, especially one like his father, and it was sort of portrayed as a bad thing. After a moment he shook it off though, I think, but it was something that was getting harder to resist.
It seemed like he was living with his dad, who I guess would be Jane's dad, and he made a friend and was starting to become more colorful and I guess like independent? But like the second John's baby crawls through the room they both snap back to their normal guardian selves. Not that that fits into anywhere in the 'arc' of the dream, but it's a scene I specifically remember and it seems relevant, so there you go. There was also another scene, one I have to assume was a flashback, of Dave's Bro, who was specifically avoiding spending quality time with Dave and acting so odd to avoid transforming into a guardian and retaining his individuality. Like one scene is him jumping away at lightspeed from a dinner table as Dave sits down. All of this seems to have made perfect sense in my head at the time, but of course waking up I realize how ridiculous it all sounds.
One other interesting thing not really related to all this was kind of how all this was presented in my dream. This was kind of like one 'path', and the story had actually split in two directions. Even though neither was really an ending they both linked to each other. This I guess would be the "good" ending. The "bad" ending branched off at an earlier point. I don't really remember specifically how, but it 'ended' with all the kids and maybe additional characters in some area, I think somewhere in a session but not on any planet, rather in empty space, with Lord English there. It seemed like they ended up here against their will and by surprise, and this was some sort of ambush. This one I don't remember as well, and is generally vaguer and shorter anyway.

I'm pretty sure I've had a homestuck dream once during the gigapause, and it was about the update finally happening and me reading it. I legit cannot remember what it's about though.

This morning I had like a three-tiered dream about Hiveswap coming out today while I was sleeping. The first I was just excited to check, then woke up a little bit. I fell asleep again and had a dream that I checked on my phone and saw that it did in fact have its steam page, getting me even more excited. Then I woke up and realized I never checked at all. Then I fell back asleep again and dreamed that I checked on my computer, and actually got as far as downloading it and starting to play. I got about as far as the developer credits before I woke up for the third and final time. I was so burned out and cynical from being triple burned by my own mind I was basically positive it wasn't actually gonna happen in real life.
It hasn't, by the way. Not YET. But soon. Very soon.
EDIT: I had another dream of this variety. It was even more painful, because I actually got to play some of it for a while before waking up. This is getting bad. The need is real.
