The theory I'm leaning towards is that this episode will be full of AU/dream/hallucination sequences. I just said the other day that I'd like a "what if?" episode and I think this might be it. Makes sense, given Zelena's jealousy over Regina being the "chosen daughter." Maybe she wants to know what her life would've been like if Cora never gave her up and that somehow ties into her ultimate goal in casting the second curse? I heard a theory that poppies might be the cause for mass dreams/hallucinations and I could see that too: they find themselves in an Oz poppy field and they all fall down, cue their individual "what ifs": what if Snow had given up David, what if Hook never became a pirate, what if Marian hadn't died, etc. The only curious one is Emma: if she were to have a dream about being raised in the Enchanted Forest, why would she be dressed in a raggedy gown?
