Q:

Whether Scarlet actually got a glimpse of the Eternal Alchemy or just went completely insane, after she emerged from Omadd’s machine, she was completely changed. She’s disconnected from the dream, much like the Soundless. The Soundless want to separate themselves from the Dream, so that their thoughts could be uninfluenced, and their own.

Scarlet doesn’t want to be limited by the destiny defined in the dream. She wants to make her own. But here’s a thought: Did Scarlet cut herself off, or maybe the dream itself…?

The Soundless invested a lot of time with meditation to separate themselves from the dream. Scarlet was part of the Dream before she went in the machine, and (supposedly) severed when she got out. It can’t be the Pale Tree, since she has no control over the dream, and is only its caretaker. Scarlet’s memories and knowledge could have influenced the Dream, and thus be considered a threat to the rest of the Sylvari.

No one exactly knows what the Dream is. It might be something related to the Mists or Eternal Alchemy, or something completely separate.
