I don't think the "oracle" was really herself let alone an Oracle-  I do believe it is Jafar in disguise. We know that it was the same girl from the first scene with Aladdin, but she never states being an oracle in this scene, before she is violently thrust aside by Jafar... she had no staff then, and highly unlikely Jafar would have treated such a power so carelessly- Jafar knows about other saviors, he has Iago (the red bird), tells Hyde in LoUS, who then just sets Emma up to locate Jafar, who uses the persona of an Oracle to explain how he knows such, preying on her sudden onset of the tremors, just letting her paranoia take over the rest to create a self-fulfilling prophecy as she starts to suspect everyone not on her side in the vision, and right now Regina is the perfect scapegoat

As for the Rumbelle- OMG, I loved the dance (why can't we have balls??? I so just want to get dressed up like Sarah from Labyrinth and dance until midnight like Cinderella)  OK... Back on topic, the dreamworld seems off to me:    I know that Rumple and Belle's future podgeny is not going to literally be Morpheus but someone taking the diety form, but is it baby Stiltskin... I don't think so. My guess is that it is someone that truly loves Belle (how the kiss worked) but loathes Rumple- likely her father, has gotten help to piggyback into the dreamworld with the sand from someone with alternate plans, mostly because I don't believe an unborn child no matter it's magical potential could possibly know about Milah and Baelfire.
