Yeah, I think trying to describe the general premise of the dream world is pretty subjective and confusing depending on interpretation. My opinion is the dream world is a projection of the person's subconscious feelings and emotions, but the problem is there's been magic involved within some of the dreams. Such as when Neal appeared to Emma during her dream as she was going to the Underworld. My perception is that was the real Neal that came to see her, rather than him being there Emma's subconscious mind dreamed him and created a dream version of him to talk to. Or Belle dreaming about being in Rumple's castle, but I'm unsure if she dreamt about that because Mr. Gold used the sand on her, or was she already dreaming about it while asleep under the sleeping curse?
