*Shepard wakes up in a dumpster after a trip on Red Sand. He is a homeless veteran who was honorably discharged after Akuze/Elysium/Torfan*

I would have been 10x more satasfied with the ending if this was true instead of the garbage ending the game has.
And being the srs business mass effect fan that I am, I think that's saying something.

The Shepard chest moving is not a dream

Waking up after the blast meaning it was a dream?

[gothicslo]

The game hasnt end belive me

[Miraider]

I just wonder when someone from Bioware will say something about it. So far nothing.
I even create a little joke about it:

Bioware says: I've got nothing more to say to you.....
Renegade interruption: How 'bout goodbye

[gothicslo]

Well we just have to w8, but nice joke

I do, and I did, but I must have missed that scene.

There u have it

[C Trayne]

even if it wasn't planned as a dream they could always just make it one so they can fix it and at least give something back to the fans that have been following them for years.

To me, it also seems more plausible that Shepard effectively dies (or is extremely close to death), and at that point the platform "lifts" Shepard to encounter the Catalyst, who is effectively a God-like figure. That is, the conversation between Shepard and the Catalyst is taking place in a non-physical realm -- in Shepard's mind/soul -- as Shepard nears death. In two of the three options the "God"/Citadel/Catalyst offers, Shepard is sacrificed (control, synthesis), while in the third he is not, and he is returned to the state he was in before the platform raised him in a near-death state.

This would explain how he very easily gets up off the platform when the Catalyst tells him to "wake up" (much faster than he physically could do a few seconds before in response to Hackett, which makes me think that this is not taking place in the same physical reality), and can even *run* into the well of light (synthesis ending). The consequences of his encounter with the God/Catalyst in this dimension are really and actually felt in the physical dimension in all cases, but in only one does Shepard return to that physical reality in bodily form.

[Ice Cold J]

Of course that's an option.

It's also the most cliche'd ending in storytelling annals.

If they did THAT... ?  

Sweet Jesus.

OK then, what's the REAL ending? Is there one? Does that mean the Reapers won after everyone retreated? Are they still on the march? How long until they find us and end it for realz?

I think you guys are onto to something in this dream thing, what I think might be a possibility is that if you destroy the reapers the explosion knocks you out and you then begin to dream, flashbacks of joker, anderson, basically you are dreaming out the results where earth is saved and dreaming the Normandy's flight is simply Shepard dreaming that his friends escape. The secret ending is then Shepard waking up from the dream because you were so prepared that you survived.

also, if you think about it the sight of the squadmates at the normandy crash would be better explained as Shepard dreaming that they are alright since he is uncertain of their fate at the time of the choice.

They really need to latch onto this idea if theyre gonna do a DLC to fix it.

[WarBaby2]

Watching the endings again, I don't really can tell how Shep survives at all... let alone why...

Besides, the only true happy ending would be synthesis... even though she/he does not survive it.

Still... very unconclusive.

[burgudy]

Another thing, it seems that it might be that the boy is a personification of the reapers, when you arrive with enough strength to beat them out and move the crucible on the citadel they attempt to outline choices and steer Shepard towards one more beneficial to them i.e. control or if you arrive with more than sufficient strength they would consider synthesis a possible solution. him being a personification seems to also be reinforced by the fact that he subtly steers you away from destroying the reapers since he says that:

A. it wont matter, "your children will repeat the mistakes of the past and the cycle will return"
B. if you don't kill the geth or resolve the Quarian-Geth war peacefully he will state that this option will not only kill the reapers, but also the Geth and even Shepard, which since if enough strength is brought to bear Shepard survives starts to paint this as a lie.

The boy in my opinion is a reaper trying to avoid defeat by attempting tho manipulate Shepard away from destroying them.

No, Shepard is alive if you have over 5000 EMS and chose to destory the Reaper

I saw that.

I figured it was just a goodbye... when the armor inhaled, I literally jumped in my seat. Scared me.

[Apocsapel91]

I sort of hope this is right. Otherwise, I think everything from Harbinger landing next to the beam needs to be redone.

[MasterMegatron]

Okay, so if it was all a dream...

What really happened? Because if Shepard never made it to the Citadel, then the Crucible couldn't dock, and the Reapers win.

[burgudy]

I don't think it was all a dream, just the part after you make your choice, for example when you destroy the reapers the resulting blast from the conduit knocks you out then you dream

[Can0fCorn]

Good theory. At this point I'll take anything I can get.

[MasterEmil]

MasterMegatron : As i have said, i think we have just stalled the reapers again, as we did in ME1 and ME2 we stalled the reapers, and i think we have done that again, maybe we get to attack the reaper homeworld as we did with the Collectors, i dont have any proof, but it could be a viable option and an awesome one!

[Megakoresh]

For those that have doubts:
I had 100% readiness and full green bar for the effective military strength. They do NOT matter. The only thing they "sorta" change is that Sheppy MIGHT not evaporate.

[MasterEmil]

I do believe that it i valuable yhat Shepard "wakes up" in the last cinrmatic. Also, when the Stargazer and the child is talking, the little boy says " can i please get one more story about shepard" and the stargazer agrees to tell one more and Then it ends, that must be the final proof?

[DiTHmaphacks]

For those supporting the hallucination im gonna post this only once and spread it around.The biggest proof that this was a dream is that you can shoot your weapon a million times without reloading.

There's a thread on this already just FYI. Says it was a hallucination. (Which could also be a dream). But yeah... A huge amount of people are in agreement. Over 23 thousand actually.
