Ooo's Origins 1- The Coma Hypothesis

Everyone who theorises about AT and/or reads theories will have come across what I like to call the "coma hypothesis". Basically speaking, it is where Finn is actually comatose and in a self-fabricated dreamworld. I have another theory, which I call the "dream link theory", which is this:

Finn is a dreamer, and enters a fantasy dimension every time he daydreams or actually dreams. This fantasy dimension actually exists, but is only accessible to those with a creative enough imagination through dreams. This is backed up by "The Lich" where the Enchiridion explains that some dimensions have a fixed link.

The coma hypothesis comes in several types. These usually occur within a combination of the following:

Time:

a: Unspecified, but in a universe where the Mushroom war never occurs. (Most common)

b: Before the Mushroom War

c: During the Mushroom War

d: After the Mushroom War

Reason:

a: Attempted suicide (primary theory claims this)

b: Accident

c: Self-deception/delusion

Some people only put Jake in the backstory and have all the other characters made up by Finn as he goes along, whereas others have all the characters established in the "real world", but not necessarily their attitudes towards Finn. For example, some have the "real" Flame Princess Finn's girlfriend from the get-go, whilst others say that she is just a crush or a psychically predicted future love interest. This is my version of the coma hypothesis:

Finn "X" is 15 years old, his mother drowned in the sea when he was 3 (fear of ocean+ the smiling Ghost Lady), and his grandfather is Billy, a war hero. He likes camping and adventuring (obvious) and has a dog called Jake who is overweight and lazy, yet seems to be able to get anywhere (Lazy+ stretchy Jake). He has a girlfriend who seems to coincidentally cause fire-related accidents highly frequently (Flame Princess) who drowns about a month prior to the coma (extra ocean fear and Flame Princess). Billy and Jake die shortly before/after FP, and Finn jumps off a roof from depression. However, he survives but is kept comatose indefinitely, but enters a dreamworld where he relives 3 years of his life with a false set of memories and a fantasy setting, but in a compressed time like with "Puhoy".

No Time Bomb this week, but at least we have this. Please tell me if you would like me to write a fic based on my coma hypothesis.
