Faye is still in Georgia, and still psychotic. She invented the Marten personality as a dependable yet submissive friend who could help her to become more functional in the world.

That'd explain Marten, but how do you explain the rest of the cast then, especially the stuff that happens outside Faye's sphere of knowledge? It's not like Hanners saying it's all a simulation designed to teach her how to interact with the world (which explains everything in one fell swoop). Not saying you're wrong, just trying to figure out how that scenario would play out.

Maybe they're all Jungian archetypes of different aspects of her psyche? And remember - in a dream, you usually can only act in line with the dream's demands. So, whether or not catatonic!Faye is aware of events happening away from her, she would be compelled by the nature of the hallucination to act as if she is not.

Funny. My dreams don't work like that.

Nor mine, at least/especially as regards that last part.
