And how do we know Homura wasn't hunting down Kyube during those times, too? So his dream was another call for help. I'm eagerly waiting for the counter to this, because it will mean someone taking my position, heh.

We could also say that the dream was Madoka's alone, and that Kyube had nothing to do with it. She already has great magical potential, so perhaps some of that seeped out and made her have a sort of pre-cog dream.

What you say has some truth, so perhaps I should clarify.

When something is blatantly obvious, and the characters don't ask about it or notice it, then I call it stupidity. You yourself were questioning Homura for this very thing, which is all I was trying to say. The obvious issue of Mami's possible revival is another one. It has to come up with enough thought, and so the audience expects to see it addressed; there's a big hole there otherwise.
