"Watching the episode again, I realized another thing I really like.

I like the fact that Dexter can sometime seem like the villain. We all know he's the hero and love him and presumably support what he does, but the way he acts sometimes can make him seem like HE'S the bad guy, and I really like that.

Imagine if somebody was foolish enough to jump into Dexter during the last five minutes of the last episode. They'd see Miguel on the table and Dexter above him talking down to him. I could imagine people might think Dexter's the evil one. The way he whispers in his ear, tells him he killed Miguel's brother. I really, really like that they aren't making Dexter into some sort of honorable vigilante killer. I like to see his true dark side sometimes.

Even last season, the way he manipulated people and everything. Let that innocent man get held in custody so he could get Doakes fired. Anybody else enjoy seeing Dexter like this?"

"Okay, know this might sound crazy, but I have a weird feeling about this episode. First of all, it's called "I had a dream", and usually, even if it's in a strange way, they tie the title into the episode.. this one didn't really happen unless you picked up on what I picked up on, which was at the very end after Dexter had "killed" Miguel, you'll notice the screen and the way they filmed it was quite unusual as far as how they normally film it. It went all black-grayish and slowed down into one still shot of Dexter...

Could this possibly mean that Dexter had DREAMT about killing Miguel??
"I had a dream" and the way the show ended was quite peculiar to me. Let me know what you guys think.
:)"

"I said the same thing in my post back on the first page...it is a big possibility so I wouldn't rule it out."

"Did anyone notice that on the Channel Guide, the "I Had a Dream" episode didn't have any information written about what was going to happen? Usually it has a brief description of events that take place in that episode, but I think the producers wanted everyone to think Dexter was kidnapped by the Skinner instead of by the bachelor party people, so they didn't give any info to keep the surprise. I liked what another post said about the title - that Dexter had a dream about having a friend, but in the end that dream fades away."

"so true.
in any case, I am so incredibly excited to see the finale and find out exactly what is going on!! :D"

"I said in another thread that the black and white at the end may mean that AFTER Dexter killed Miguel, all of the crazy stuff that was previewed for next week is a dream, except for maybe the marriage.
On the other hand, it also seems fitting that the black and white goes hand in hand with the title 'I had A Dream' ... the dream of finally having a friend, which is now coming to a close, and the black and white may symbolize Dexter returning to his simple (black and white) way of life, not attempting to have true personal relationships and just go on with his charade."
