Now, I am not a long-time fan of The Orville, but I can say I am a big fan of The Orville. I started not too long ago, about a year ago, but long after season two has been out on Hulu, and binge-watched both seasons. Recently, The Orville crew members have come out and said that the premiere of season 3 was pushed back from March 10th to June 2nd, but hey, that’s okay, we’ve waited this long, what’s a few more months, right? That same day, they showed us the opening scene of the very first episode of the season.
Here is The Orville: New Horizons (The First Scene):

Now, there are so many theories running rampant about this, some are similar to each other though. I have my own theory and it’s psychological, but despite me saying so in a stream, which I will link to, and my psychological background, you could argue who had this kind of theory first, and that’s okay. But, my theory is that Marcus has PTSD and this is Marcus’ nightmare. I explained it better in my online sister, Alysia’s stream, where we picked apart this scene.
Here is a link to her stream:

Please excuse my voice, I have a speech impediment and probably a deaf accent due to me being hard of hearing. I hope, despite that, you can understand me. Anyways, after that, I saw something from another one of the top Orville fans, JP. He has this theory which was inspired by a tweet he saw that it is actually Isaac’s dream. He actually had some very good points in his video which is why I am including it here.
This is the link to his video:

Yes, I do agree, androids do dream of electric sheep. He brought up a good point. I had a theory, which I’m not sure I made public yet, except for maybe once in one of Alysia’s streams that maybe Isaac could learn empathy, so he’s not the only one with that theory, especially with some of his behaviors in the “Identity” episodes and even before that, with Claire.
Despite agreeing with some of JP’s points in his video, I still believe this is Marcus’ nightmare though, so who’s theory is the right one? Place your bets now. Just thought I’d have a bit of fun with this, lol.
Anyways, that's a bit of information from:
JP: The Orville Evangelist
Alysia: The Orville Ambassador
And me (Chloe): The Orville Psychoanalyst
Anyways, until next time, engage quantum drive!
