"Lost" co-creator J.J. Abrams appreciates the fans' creativity.
"The purgatory one is a great one, I love that theory ? but it isn't what it is. I'd be frustrated if that were the answer I have to say," he said.
So the survivors are not in purgatory and it's not a dream. And producers say there is a logical explanation for everything. To put it more plainly, co-creator Damon Lindelof has outright dismissed the notion. "It's one of the main theories that came out in season one ? but no, these guys are not dead." In the May 19, 2006 issue of Entertainment Weekly, he again debunked this: "We have said that this is not purgatory, but people don't want to believe it... These human beings have hearts and when those hearts stop beating, they are dead." Update: With the revelation in "D.O.C." that the plane was found and there were no survivors, purgatory theorists seemed to have been vindicated. However, in the April 30, 2007 Official Podcast, Damon states "We were not lying and it is not purgatory." Good explanation at http://lostwiki.abc.com/page/Purgatory
