Occasionally this pops up where I have a "dream" about a particular suspect. I have noted so far that whenever I have this dream, that suspect is never guilty... Is that just coincidence or can one discount that suspect when the dream screen pops up?

Absolutely not! You should never discount a suspect based on a twist.

I have, in fact, had that person be the guilty party several times. Whether or not that person is guilty is completely random, like the rest of the case... but seriously, never base your conclusions off the twists.

The only twist that count are the faction twists and Larry twists in NY. There is another one (is it the police?) that can reveal a new suspect. No twists help you narrow down the list.

After a while you don't even read them anymore. (Sorry Ben)

heehee i don't read them either :P

reda is right, i think it's the one about the police arresting a suspect.

It is that one, and don't get too confused because it starts out the same as the twist involving the little niece hidden away in the country - same picture, too.

One thing that has happened to me several times that drives me bonkers is that I'll get the dream twist, and the second photograph will be of a person not yet on my suspect list - but they don't get added the way the do with the arrest twist. Bonkers, I tell you!

Perhaps the fact that nobody reads the twists is why SS#1 has not yet been found. Ben has said on several occasions the clues are out there, you just have to find them

Wait a minute... I just got the dream twist again and after I solved the mystery the narrative said that the perp had the photo of the suspect in my dream and was planning to kill her!

So it'd be impossible for the subject of the dream to be the killer!

Yeah, if I recall correctly (from when I used to read them) I think there's two possible endings for this twist. In one the photo is of the killer and in the other the photo is of the "next victim".

Ok, well I guess I never got the one where the perp is the subject - yet.

Thanks!

I learned early on that the twists didn't help my case when I read "I highly doubted John Doe would be the killer," and I falsely accused Bob because.... John Doe was the killer!
