Is that really true? Sidious Send a noteboard - 26/05/2010 08:53:45 PM
I've thought of this before, but would like someone to show me some evidence to counter or accept it, or generally provide a statement on what you think...

You're tied to a pole. You dream yourself into TAR. You Travel to the place where you've tied yourself i.e. you exit TAR using a gateway. You free yourself.

Is there anything that contradicts this? We know that you can channel and Travel in TAR.


The problem is saying that you dreamed yourself into TaR in the first place. When Eggy wants to go to TaR, she doesn't know exactly where to go and wants to take advantage of TaR properties (specifically the ability to walk/run/gallop super-fast). Eggy changes the surroundings and steps into TaR - that's the mechanism for her first Traveling.

But if you've already dreamed yourself into TaR, there's no body to step through a gateway. And if you're physically tied to a pole, you can't step through a gateway.

For all we know, this is that Little-Big Thing that Sanderson was talking about - but it *seems* to be impossible.


Other people can see you in TAR, so something is there, and most dreamwalkers believe that a part of themselves enters the dream world. You can even see your hands, legs etc. There must be a body.

If she could enter TAR she could drag an AS in with her, compell them and make them take it off darius_sedai - 27/05/2010 07:14:26 PM 894 Views

I think we are saying pretty much the same thing here darius_sedai - 27/05/2010 09:24:37 PM 856 Views
We are close to the same idea, but different in where we think her ability will stop. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 27/05/2010 09:37:28 PM 830 Views

But channelling is not a requirement to enter TAR BlackAdder - 27/05/2010 08:31:21 AM 764 Views
The a'dam affects things in Channelers other than the ability itself darius_sedai - 27/05/2010 01:58:34 PM 961 Views
I don't agree. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 27/05/2010 03:02:08 PM 822 Views

Is that really true? Sidious - 26/05/2010 08:53:45 PM 842 Views
Sid, I made some edits, but really nothing's certain. Look again, pls. *NM* newyorkersedai - 26/05/2010 08:55:30 PM 403 Views

I think the problem is that you can only channel Spirit through your T'A'R form RugbyPlayingAshaman - 27/05/2010 03:05:13 PM 743 Views
if you dream yourself into T'A'R then you're just a creation of your own mind Jim - 27/05/2010 12:02:38 AM 722 Views
aren't we all? *NM* newyorkersedai - 27/05/2010 12:04:08 AM 353 Views
