Yeah, this is just one of those *WEIRD* things that happens all the time in tp (how did cooper know she would be there in 1 minute?). It could be some psychic activity (like "I'm in the black lodge with cooper"). But note also that the "weasel man" looked a bit loaded, and margaret is just the sort of person to get up in move at a rate of knots (the WM was looking the other way, as was bobby, I think), to go get some oil. > >3 I understand that one of the underlying factors of the story is > >"duality".

In the euroversion, the dream sequence is subtitled as being 25 years later, also in the series, cooper referes to the dream being 25 years later, and also, aparantly laura also refers to the dream-meeting in her secret diary as being either 25 years later, or referring to cooper as "an old man" (he does look a little older, but you probably wouldn't notice this if you weren't looking for it. > >5 Does anyone know what the song was that Coop heard when he first entered > >the Lodge?
