"The Vampire Diaries" Season 8 spoilers reveal that the reunion between Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev may still take place despite the complications surrounding Elena's conditions. According to TVLine, in the episode entitled, "Nostalgia's a Bitch," Damon will be placed into a catatonic state under Sybil's spell.

Damon would then run into different people, including Caroline (Candice King), Bonnie (Kat Graham) and even some who have left the show. "TVD" Season 8 spoilers tease that Tyler (Michael Trevino) and Sheriff Forbes (Marguerite MacIntyre) will be appearing in Damon's dreams.

This led to speculations that Elena may show up in the upcoming episode of "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8 as a part of Damon's subconscious. After all, Elena has and always will be a huge part of Damon's life so it is only right to see her in his dreams.

This would also solve the growing mystery surrounding Dobrev's return since Elena can only wake up if Bonnie dies. "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8 spoilers have been teasing on the death of a major character, so the story can go one way or another.

Meanwhile, TV Series Finale reports that "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8 finale will be delayed by an hour. According to the publication, the series finale will be preceded by a special episode titled, "Forever Yours."
