(by the way, these are NOT spoilers, I just dreamed this stuff up and they're not subliminably influenced by real spoilers either, 'cause I don't read 'em).
I had a crazy dream last night that I was on the "Lost" island with all the characters and ended up discovering a lot of important secrets about the plot.
Only...the island was sort of the street I live on, combined with the forest-surrounded dirt road that leads to my Uncle's cottage in Bancroft which I haven't been to since I was 8.
Anyway, I was walking down said forest path with Michael, when suddenly he got really tense and wide-eyed. When I asked him what was wrong, he said "They're here. The Whispering is here". Sure enough, the mysterious Whispers that the castaways sometimes hear started in, and not only that, the voices seemed to kick up small trails of dirt and sand on the path.
After they stopped, Michael told me that on his way back from meeting the Others and seeing the real Walt, he had encountered the soaked, whispering Walt apparition for the first time, and after being exposed to it he could now fully understand the Whispers and knew the secrets of the Others. He could also "transpose matter" or something and then he turned into the Black Cloud and swept up the street like a huge wall of smoke. The wall had the force of a small hurricane, and I was pushed along in front of it to the top of the street.
At the top, we ran into my younger sister and four evil women who were looking for someone to give to the Black Cloud so they could ally with it. The Cloud absorbed the four of them and ate them or something, and then dissapated.
My sister then told me that she had learned that one of the biggest focuses of the Others and the Hanso foundation is the production and manipulation of this material call "Scom".
"Scom" was molecules of "blank matter"... matter with completely neutral physical properties that can be turned into any other type of matter(i.e. Gold, Uranium, even anti-matter), by way of some complicated procedure that the Others conduct in their facilities. She gave me a handful of it(it looked and felt like tiny black balls of styrofoam) and left and I went back down the street to our house.
Once at my house, I was looking through this bin of action figures that I have under my bed(my bed was in the basement now, for some reason) when suddenly my X-Factor Cyclops figure(which in real life is on display on my shelf) started to move and stood up in the bin. I got the hell out of there and told my parents. After they checked it out, they told me that our old basement tennant was one of the Others and she had secretly done experiments at bringing non-living things to life, like toys and rocks and stuff.
She had also created the Black Cloud by bringing innanimate molecules of Scom to life. In other words, the Black Cloud is an artificial living organism that can turn into any form of matter and take any shape.
That's pretty much it. Weird, eh? Any thoughts?
