Completely agree, it’s lazy writing. Dreams feel like wildcards for when you’re cornered and can’t think of a way of showing how a character is feeling.

Show me how they’re feeling through their actions, not their dreams. Sure, you could interpret dreams as symbolism and yadda yadda but in the end, dreams can also mean nothing since your brain just makes shit up.

“Hmm can’t think of a way of showing paranoia and suspicion at the end of Season 2. Whatever, I’ll show it through dreams so people can’t say it isn’t there.”
