Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I have a Dexter question--I was under the impression that someone was a figment of someone else's imagination in this past or a recent season.

Am I thinking of another show?

And, no, I don't mean his father--I mean someone we were supposed to think was alive. I know his brother was supposed to be back--was that ever a fakeout?

"Oh no! Has falling sky liquid once again caused you the sadness?" -Starfire

Edward James Olmos' character was a figment of Colin Hank's character's imagination. (I can't remember anyone's names!) He'd been dead for the past three years or so (killed by Colin), but Colin thought he was still alive and would always have conversations with him and carrying out his orders.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

ita !, the mentor of this season's big bad was a figment of that big bad's imagination, he had already killed him.

Okay, let me run to his desk and stick my tongue out at him...

Thanks for confirming my spotty knowledge.

Ha!

I mean, umm.

Guess who hadn't finished the season yet?

Guess who now knows the big reveal?

WELL, HE SHOULD HAVE TOLD ME HE WASN'T CURRENT. HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW???

Eh, it shouldn't be that bad. The reveal that EJO is imaginary happens about midway through the season. And now he can look for the signs.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

The Big reveal is something else. He shouldn't have been arguing with you if he hadn't seen the whole season.

There was incest? I thought I got the incest newsletter...

What is the big reveal? I'd like to lord something over him.

It's weird, I have a portion of my brain devoted to "Is there anyone imaginary in this scenario?" while watching everything. No, that's not weird. What's weird is that everyone doesn't have that. Haven't we all seen both The Sixth Sense and something else with the same conceit? It just saves time, and helps you pick up on other details.
