I think it was always there in an alternate dimension and then El accidentally released it. I think they’re like aliens they go to other planets/realities and like colonize/consume that planet.

I think the upside down has always been there and she accidentally opened the door when she first touched the demogorgon

Dimension x (the place Henry Creel/001/Vecna was sent to when Eleven banished him in 1979) has always existed. the upside down is an imprint of Hawkins on Dimension X, that was created when Eleven contacted the Demogorgon on Nov 6th 1983. that’s why it’s frozen on that date, and why Hawkins Lab is at the exact center of the Upside Down as discovered by Dustin in S5E4.

Which means she’s been trying to stop a threat she herself created (the premise of the whole show).

the upside down was created within dimension x when Eleven contacted the demogorgon. dimension x has always existed, but the upside down has only existed since nov 6th 1983. we been known this lol

Except for the fact dimension x was only revealed in the stage play that most people haven’t seen and the whole touching the demo opened the gate is a theory

@liamc3433???? dimension x is very explicitly revealed in S4E7 when eleven banishes henry, and then we learn more about it in the finale. the play expanded it a little but certainly didn’t reveal it. also, Eleven opening the gate by touching the Demogorgon isn’t a theory we LITERALLY see it happen in season 1. and we know the upside down itself was created in that moment cuz 1. the upside down is stuck on November 6th 1983 and 2. Hawkins Lab is the center of the upside down
