A new LOST episode was on tonight and I’m STILL sticking with my same theory!
**SPOILER ALERT**
In tonight’s episode Anna Lucia was shot and she died. Hmmm, didn’t she just say she couldn’t “do it” anymore in reference to killing the Other captive? Had she gotten past her issue? Sounds like it to moi! I still firmly believe that each person is in a dream state and that the Dharma Institute is helping them get over their problems via this virtual world that seems “real” to them (ie, they don’t know it’s all a dream). Issue solved, you die on island. But wait, you’re probably thinking, What about Libby? She didn’t resolve anything, yet Michael shot her, too. But the question is…did she die? We don’t know if she did or didn’t…at least not until next week. 
A couple of things bothered me about this episode. Why didn’t anyone question the fact Michael didn’t come back with a gun? Remember, he LEFT with one to go get his son back. The story he told Jack, John, Anna and Kate was that he observed the Others but he didn’t attack or shoot at them AT ALL. So, where was his gun? And even John questioned the fact that Michael just happened to run out of the woods while Jack was calling him? Considering all the wierd things that have happened on the island, you would think everyone would question anyone who just shows up out of the blue after having been with the Others…even someone from their own camp.
