Are Cassie & Bree the same person?

There's been rampant speculation on this one, how about a thread just to discuss it?

Here's some speculation on this:

What if Bree has a split personality? That's why Daniel didn't remember who Cassie was, but Bree remembered "walking around the track" with her. And how "people were mean to her."

Maybe all those kooky cult ceremonies when she was a kid, and all the people making fun of her in school and what not ,created some sort of fissure in her personality.

IF Cassie and Bree are split personalities,

Bree is unaware of Cassie, but Cassie is aware of Bree

The line:

"Warns Luke Eleven Seventeen"

might mean:

A kingdom divided will fall -- so Cassie and Bree being divided will cause their downfall?

Tnd those 2 lines of the poem:

"The cost is not just mine to bear
we win, we live. we die, we share" (punctuation added)

Might mean that (since they are the same being) if they win, they'll both live. If they die, they'll share (the burden).

I believe in the silliest version....

Cassie was killied by the cult and now is trying to save Bree.

Also, maybe Cassie does not RIP means that Bree "killed" her when Daniel came along to be her friend, but she's unrestful becuase of what might happen to Bree.

I still think it's a mistake to box ourselves in to the literal meanings of some things.

I like that interpretation!!!

I hadn't thought about it in that light.... I thought she just meant "work together people!".....

well if you listen to the love line phone message, it says cassie was homeschooled and her parents are very religious....sound like Bree a little?

Do you think my interpretation is literal? That's why I used quotes around killing, I meant it she might have repressed Cassie, thus the metaphorical killing her.

No, I wasn't replying to one person at all...but people do keep going back to that...and I think we should look at all things.

On this topic...
Growing up and only child and moving around quite a bit...I know I used to have an imaginary friend...maybe combined with some disturbing history it became Cassie...another splinter of Bree.

I'm an only child to and I was VERY shy as a kid...... imaginary friends are very common in that scenario!!

Ok I don't know if someone mentioned it yet but I was just explaining the poem to my best friend and something came to my mind....

"Cassie does not rest in peace" maybe be "cassie is not dead"?

If she is a part of Bree..... she is still alive, somehow...

Same here. There's still a part of me that shrinks away form unfamiliar social situations, but there's also a part of me that thrives in them. I obviously don't have SPD, but imaginary friends kept me company a lot.
Nowadays I just imagine I'm talking to my real friends

I'm an only child also. I had a VERY active imagination when I was a child. Well, maybe I still do, since I'm a grown woman trying to help solve a mystery on the Internet.

I imagine my friends listen!

I'm a believer in cassie's dead because of the religion though I'm not fully decided.

I think we've hit another common denominator in viewers of Bree's story.
