Rewatching S1: interesting clues & details?

I'm rewatching in preparation for S4 and I wanted to write down bits and pieces that I found interesting as potential clues. I'm specifically paying attention to Julie, Ethan, Victor, and Tabitha. Especially when they talk about stories or things that may fly under the radar without hindsight. If anyone would be interested in me writing more as I go through the seasons let me know!

S1E1:

The very first story Julie tells Ethan in the RV. In it Norman is killed by monsters while his 'best friend' grieves. Ethan asks if the secret fairies from the Lake of Tears will save Norman and Julie says no because you're dead you're gone. This links to a detail in E2 further down.

S1E2:

Victor tells Julie that it's 'special' for two separate groups to show up in the same day. That it hasn't happened in a 'long, long time'. I can't remember if this is addressed later since I just started my rewatch, but does Victor ever share when the last time was?

Fatima invites Julie to look out the window at Colony House to show her that 'if you climb high enough even a nightmare can look like a dream'. Could this allude to climbing to the top of the tower/lighthouse and perhaps the fallacy of escape? While not a nightmare a dream is still a dream, in the sense that it is not a full return to 'reality'.

This one is less of a future clue and more like cool foreshadowing, but after Kenny's dad dies he gives Boyd a chess piece soaked in blood. The piece is the rook (the tower/castle shaped one).

Affected by the shock of it all, Julie changes her demeanor towards Ethan. In the RV before the accident she was cruel to him, relishing in telling him stories about death and murder. At Colony House she tries to 'rewrite' the Norman story she told in the RV where Norman dies. The 'best friend' character tells Norman that the secret fairies made it back from the Lake of Tears and it wasn't too late, that he's going to be okay.

I know we often focus on the lines about the finality of death, but there are also ones like this one where Julie re-writes deaths herself. In this story she didn't re-write the ending but added a new chapter to it: Norman was attacked by monsters and effectively died but the fairies were able to revive him in the end.

When you rewatch focusing on the role of Julie as a storyteller you can appreciate her mood swings a lot more from a narrative perspective. She writes and shapes her stories based on the emotional outcome she's looking for (ie hurting and scaring Ethan, cheering him up and giving him hope, etc). She decides who lives and dies based on her mood and her desire to help or scare. To me this suggests that she'll have a decent amount of power as a dreamwalker, but that it's contingent on the strength of her emotions. She can have a cruel/sadistic tendency depending on the context.
