I definitely agree this is a possibility, but like others I need some text, not for Spuffy really, but that their behavior is messed up. That's the niggling issue I have with this interpretation. We see similarities with Xander's POV in The Zeppo, but whose POV are we looking at here? We need someone textual confirmation that something is wrong which we haven't got so far with all the OOC behavior.
Overall, though, I like your ideas and it fits in with my guess that the comics might somehow be a construct of Buffy. A fantasy world built on her anxieties, that's why all the recurring characters from the past. Not to say it's not happening, but that she's somehow making it happen, but to me S8 is a little *too* much of a worst case scenario.
I don't think she's woken up yet, though. I don't think that will happen until 40.
