− | + | The first and second panel are a discussion between [[Megan]] and [[Ponytail]] about {{w|Dream|dreams}}. Megan mentions a dream or nightmare about failing to prepare for an exam despite not being a student for years. This is similar to the dream depicted in [[557: Students]]. Ponytail responds that certain dreams occur with surprising frequency among many people {{Citation needed}}, dubbing them "Universal Dreams" (which is the title of the comic). | |
− | + | In the third panel, [[Black Hat]] describes an avatar of misfortune in the form of a horse appearing on a hill. This may be a reference to [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0465538/ 2007 film Michael Clayton], which features a dream like sequence where the title character stops his car, gets out and approaches 3 horses on a hillside just minutes before his car explodes. | |
− | In the last panel, Black Hat describes having dreams where he receives specific information about the real world, which seems closer to {{w|List_of_dreams#Prophetic_dreams|prophesying}} or {{w|Precognition#In_dreams|precognition}} than what would be considered a normal dream, as normal dreams do not tell the future | + | In the last panel, Black Hat describes having dreams where he receives specific information about the real-world, which seems closer to {{w|List_of_dreams#Prophetic_dreams|prophesying}} or {{w|Precognition#In_dreams|precognition}} than what would be considered a normal dream, as normal dreams do not tell the future {{Citation needed}}. This may be a reference to the [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0448011/ 2009 film ''Knowing''] where a child writes down the latitude and longitude of disasters (including earthquakes) that will occur 50 years in the future. Dreaming of latitude and longitude was also a topic of [[240: Dream Girl]], but in contrast the events in that dream did not come true. |

This suggest an earthquake would happen soon in one of those major cities. The second half of the coordinates are most likely cut off to add uncertainty to the situation. The title text also implies the whole comic might be a dream -- just as Black Hat described, in the middle of one of the girls responding she suddenly and unexpectedly started saying a latitude coordinate. |
