Alternatively, this may be a reference to the 2007 film [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0465538/ ''Michael Clayton''], which features a dreamlike sequence where the title character recognizes a scene of three horses on a hilltop from an illustration in a book. He stops his car, gets out and approaches the horses, just minutes before his car explodes. This marks a major turning point in the direction Clayton takes for the rest of the film, similar to how Black Hat says "[the horses] mean the dream is about to turn bad." | Alternatively, this may be a reference to the 2007 film [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0465538/ ''Michael Clayton''], which features a dreamlike sequence where the title character recognizes a scene of three horses on a hilltop from an illustration in a book.

| − | In the last panel, Black Hat describes having dreams where he receives specific information about the real world, which seems closer to {{w|List_of_dreams#Prophetic_dreams|prophesying}} or {{w|Precognition#In_dreams|precognition}} than what would be considered a normal dream, as normal dreams do not tell the future.{{Citation needed}} This may be a reference to the 2009 film [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0448011/ ''Knowing''], in which a child hears voices telling her the date, time, latitude, and longitude of major disasters (including earthquakes) that will occur 50 years in the future | + | In the last panel, Black Hat describes having dreams where he receives specific information about the real world, which seems closer to {{w|List_of_dreams#Prophetic_dreams|prophesying}} or {{w|Precognition#In_dreams|precognition}} than what would be considered a normal dream, as normal dreams do not tell the future.{{Citation needed}} This may be a reference to the 2009 film [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0448011/ ''Knowing''], in which a child hears voices telling her the date, time, latitude, and longitude of major disasters (including earthquakes) that will occur 50 years in the future. |
In the title text, either [[Megan]] or [[Ponytail]] is responding to Black Hat when she unexpectedly interrupts herself with the first part of geographic coordinates (Latitude 35), just as Black Hat described, implying that the whole comic might be another of Black Hat's dreams. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/35th_parallel_north 35 degrees North] would include 31 major cities around the world, including 11 in Japan and 8 in the USA (including California, a seismically active region); the only major city within [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/35th_parallel_south 35 degrees South] is Canberra, Australia. This would suggest that an earthquake would happen soon in one of those major cities. The remainder of the coordinates are most likely cut off to add uncertainty to the situation. | In the title text, either [[Megan]] or [[Ponytail]] is responding to Black Hat when she unexpectedly interrupts herself with the first part of geographic coordinates (Latitude 35), just as Black Hat described, implying that the whole comic might be another of Black Hat's dreams.
