Mr Death: On the "the ending is a dream sequence" thing. I looked up the interview, and Ueda said it was "one possible interpretation." That doesn't make it "Word of God," if anything it's a Shrug of God. And he might have just been talking about the watermelon thing anyway.
Jove Hack: I put that in, but should have researched it first. Thanks for doing it right.
