Luna said 2 of my favorite quotes of the show:
"Sometimes we can worry about a thing so much, the fear can make us feel we're trapped in a nightmare."
"If you cannot accept who you are, your life might seem like a bad dream."

4:48 "Did she really just get her cutie mark? In a random season 5, episode 4?"
Nah, they wouldn't give one of the crusaders a cutie mark in a random episode in the middle of a season. That'd just be ridiculous!

If you are tearing up now, I can't wait for the more emotional episodes. A lot of people thought that the shadow was starlight during he episodes. Regarding cutie marks, no one truly understands them. Also, its ground hog day!(not really)
The scene with her family rejecting her always cracks me up, its glorious. Also, every episode Luna plays part in is a good episode

And it makes a lot of sense considering how powerful Starlight is and the fact that before she was reformed, she thought that cutie marks were bad. Also, considering that Starlight wanted to get revenge on the Mane 6, there are some clues that prove that Starlight was in fact keeping a close eye on the Mane 6 in order to know more about them (from the places they go, who surrounds them and finding out why they are so important in Equestria).

Unlike most Fans I knew the voice of the shadow wasn't Starlight Glimmer because it sounds nothing like her and she's never met Apple Bloom and she doesn't have dream spells she never said anything about having any so why would she go after a filly she's never even met? Starlight never knew Applejack had a sister. Apple Bloom wasn't there at the time of Cutie Markless and had taken a part in her defeat although it's possible they told her offscreen after Twilight Spike and their friends got back I was glad Starlight Glimmer reformed on her own it was really wholesome
I'm also not bothered by Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon's teasing of Apple Bloom in the first dream where they tease her for having a cutie mark she doesn't like and call her Bug Pony to be honest the opposite of what they do was quite interesting to see you know this is why Starlight Glimmer probably believed why she blamed Cutie Marks because it's possible she witnessed this happening to other ponies before in her past after Sunburst went to Canterlot Magic School they weren't accepted by their friends and their friends abandoned them for their cutie marks because they hated them bullied and teased them for it and abandoned them for it this could be what else happened after she lost her friend Sunburst when he got his cutie mark and he didn't know she was sad at the time although in his defense he was afraid of telling her he didn't get good enough at being a wizard but he truly felt guilty about it and she probably tried to make other friends until Sunburst came back but after she got her cutie mark along with the rest of her new friends they likely abandoned her because of her cutie mark which caused Starlight to be upset over Cutie Marks and believe they cause pain and heartache which is understandable
And if this is true and what was missing from Starlight's backstory it's possible she didn't tell her new friends Twilight Spike and the Mane Five about the rest of it for good reasons.

01:30 I know that season 5 is called the season of feels, but... there seems to be another underlying theme: the meaning of cutie marks. They explore a lot of cutie mark lore and cutie mark philosophy in this season, and ask many questions about them that fans were asking themselves too.
01:35 There is one fan game that explores this idea, "Minty Fresh Adventure". In that game, Colgate is not satisfied with her current cutie mark and she's looking for a way to change it, because all she wants is to be a dentist :) Maybe you could play this game one day?
02:36 It kinda continues on the premise that Starlight started in the premiere, because she was kinda anti cutie marks and she tried to erase them :J
03:14 Unless it's some damn PEAR! :D
04:17 Aw yeah, here it goes... ;>
06:20 Which makes much sense, because electricity comes from separation of charges ;) The farther they're apart, the bigger the voltage :>
06:45 "When there's something strange, in your neighbourhood. Who you gonna call?" ;>
07:16 I can't say who's the best pony, but I can tell who's the PEST PONY :)
07:45 A ladybug! Where's the portal? :>
07:47 Are you talking about yourself, Silver Spoon? ;>
08:32 That's what I hoped for too when I first saw this scene. Because that would make a lot of sense :J
08:55 As Zecora would say: This might be a dream, but I hear another Wilhelm scream :)
09:45 Not anymore... she got rid of her pest pony cutie mark :q
10:20 Hahah that rooster got so scared by Applebloom that he laid an egg :D
10:55 Yup, that would actually make a lot of sense :> Considering her frequent visits in Zecora's place, and learning how to make potions :J Also, Twilight Sparkle was teaching her some alchemy too, during their Twilight Time :)
12:15 Yeah, pretty much, you figured it out it pretty fast :J Her dreams reflect her worries she got in the beginning of this episode, one by one.
12:32 And that one too :> This is indeed the third appearance of Luna in the Crusaders' dreams :>
12:45 Indeed :J (Speaking as a long-standing conscious dreamer.) But hey, there's also the upside of this ;> It allows you to transfer yourself to a different place by just thinking about it, and it magically appears around you :>
13:10 Yeah, and it's definitely something Starlight could say :J
14:25 For a moment I thought you're talking about false awakenings. You know, the thing that Applebloom is experiencing right now, when you wake up, and it turns out it's still a dream, MULTIPLE TIMES :q As a dreamer, I experience this quite often. Once I was waking up 15 times before I woke up for real. But this can be used for good too ;> It's easier to become aware that you're dreaming if it happens multiple times in a row, and the dream world after false awakening is usually much more realistic and stable :> You can induce it by falling asleep inside a dream, and the shit from Inception is real: the time goes faster at each nesting level of those dreams, so you can spend more time there. I once spent a couple of days in a dream that way, and I know of a guy who had a 25-years-long dream.
15:49 Bloom Berg :) Wouldn'd see that coming that she might be related to Bloomberg, would ya? ;D
16:00 The way she fell off her bed reminds me of "Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland" :)
16:27 There was once a fan GIF animation with precisely that :D Apple Bloom looking at her cutie mark, which depicted herself looking at her cutie mark, which depicted herself looking at her cutie mark.... in an endless loop ;D
20:12 Mutual Dreaming ;> Another thing that's possible, and Linda Lane Magallón wrote several books about her studies on this phenomenon :J
20:18 Yeah. And that would be a nice dream indicator for Scoots ;) If she can fly, she's definitely dreaming. I use that as my own dream indicator too (being an Earth Pony & all :J )
20:34 Nyan Dash on the wall :D
21:37 She didn't even have to look :J

I think if more people were sharing such experiences, there would be a lot more such examples that this phenomenon is real. Same with mutual dreaming.
There's also a related phenomenon: I sometimes dream that I am at some place and I recognize it from some previous dream in which I wast there before. Sometimes I even remember that I spent there quite some amount of time, or even lived there for a while. Too bad I don't know the names of those places, because I'm curious what would happen if I looked them up – would it have turned out that they're actually real? :> Or that I lived there in some past life or something? :J

Sunrise Freezer That last sentence doesn't really make sense. If you mean that the episode is unnecessary, I'd argue otherwise. This was the first CMC episode that really showed a negative view on Cutie Marks, something that would remain prominent in many episodes to come. It follows the premier perfectly, continuing on the established theme of the season, that being Cutie Marks and Cutie Mark magic.

It also completes the trilogy of the three CMC having an emotional breakdown in which Princess Luna helps to assist through their dreams. And above all, the moral of not letting your future decide how your life should function is an immensely important moral that adults should also learn from.
