I still think it must be literally everybody under the curse and asleep but I'm not sure how they can focus on everybody's journey to the surface unless they're fully making another season... idk how would you make it work with that many characters 💀 maybe they're gonna jump in and out of the illusion Matrix style (?) I'm not sure how they could handle this from a story perspective... Owens needs to be involved obviously but what would happen, they would be put in a nightmare labyrinth so that they can't escape instead of being in the reality-like world? like at first the Mindflayer would try to keep them there with a fake win scenario and then use fear as a last resort to scare them into not wanting to get back to reality? I'm not sure 🤔🤔🤔
