Can someone please explain the purpose of the red ribbon that Buffy is wearing in her dream and upon waking up from the dream. Lothos also seems to have the red ribbon loosely around her neck at the end, but when she comes out of her trance, she removes it. Is this just a Lothos thing or what?

I think it implies that they are "marked for death", like red is symbollic of blood, and its on their necks so....
shareThanks, for the info. I was just wondering.

I got the impression that there is one slayer, and Buffy is just her latest reincarnation (obviously, this is only true for the movie, and anyone who has seen enough of the series knows that completely different rules apply). Lothos apparently has some connection with the slayer that gives him some kind of power over her. Hence, he has power over Buffy. The ribbon represents this power. It's there when she wakes up from her dream because that's when Lothos starts using that power, and she removes it towards the end because that's the moment where she breaks his hold over her.
shareI think the significance was that the guy was actually real, he wasn't just a dream.
Ever see the movie The Golden Child? Eddie Murphy has a dream where Sardo burns his arm so that he wakes up and sees it and knew it wasn't real.
It was like Lothos was messing with her.
I don't know. I was just as confused by that red ribbon as you were - but for a completely different reason.
Who ties a ribbon in their hair TO GO TO BED? Really, isn't that kind of like dressing yourself in a tuxedo before going to the bathroom?
