Kinda like the Avatar in the Last Airbender series who could commune with his/her past selves. Was going to say that too, makes the most sense imo. And they said we would learn more about previous DO's as well, so maybe she delves further into the DO past to meet them and learn their stories about handling the darkness. Maybe Emma also learns why Rumple became the DO (we haven't had that explained on screen, right?)
