Not just constructs ... anything reflected in TAR cannot leave it ... Shishka Send a noteboard - 27/05/2010 10:05:37 PM
Let me preface this by saying this is all just opinion. I don't think there is any evidence that proves it conclusively.

Here's a quote from RJ:

Q: Is it possible to go to the Dream World in the flesh, and take something with you out through the gateway?
RJ: No.


As I understand it, anything that exists in the Real World and is reflected in TAR (whether it's a door knob, pickle, or someone who has dreamt himself there) is, in effect, insubstantial in TAR. That is, there is nothing substantial to be brought out, because TAR is simply reflecting their substantial Real World existence.

Could the TAR dreamer make a Gateway to the Real World? Maybe. But he couldn't step out into the Real World through it. Nor could someone else create a Gateway to TAR, and take the TAR dreamer out with him.

I think the only substantial things that can be brought out of TAR are substantial things brought into TAR by people who enter in the flesh (RJ's quote above doesn't apply to this situation - if it did, people who entered TAR in the flesh fully clothed would come out naked). So, if Rand stuck a door knob and a pickle in his pockets, and entered TAR in the flesh, he could leave those items there, and later go back and bring them out again. Because while in TAR, that's where those items EXIST - they're not reflections, in that case.

But a TAR dreamer doesn't exist in TAR, he exists in the Real World. What's in TAR is just a reflection of what exists in the Real World. Yes, that reflection can construct what he looks like, channel, and do other cool things in TAR, but he cannot create flesh for himself by leaving through a Gateway, regardless who made the Gateway. He can only return to his body in the Real World.

Regarding what Moggy did to Birgitte ... Birgitte's soul EXISTED in TAR (she wasn't simply reflected there, like a TAR dreamer), so Moggy was able to yank her out, and somehow that act created flesh for Birgitte. But that's a different situation from a TAR dreamer, IMHO.

My two cents ...
Rise and fall, turn the Wheel,
'cause all life is
is really just a circle.

I'm inclined to think the a'dam stops Dream Walking - 26/05/2010 09:26:20 PM 660 Views

And it seems the woman wearing the bracelet has strange dreams too - 26/05/2010 10:54:26 PM 745 Views
Re: I'm inclined to think the a'dam stops Dream Walking - 27/05/2010 06:46:42 PM 639 Views
I think it would be the latter - 27/05/2010 07:11:17 PM 750 Views
I have a few mundane my reasons as to why Moghedien probably wouldn't and couldn't do that. - 26/05/2010 11:39:14 PM 676 Views
I disagree - 27/05/2010 03:21:05 PM 670 Views

If she could enter TAR she could drag an AS in with her, compell them and make them take it off - 27/05/2010 07:14:26 PM 758 Views
Re: If she could enter TAR she could drag an AS in with her, compell them and make them take it off - 27/05/2010 09:21:11 PM 854 Views
I think we are saying pretty much the same thing here - 27/05/2010 09:24:37 PM 694 Views
We are close to the same idea, but different in where we think her ability will stop. - 27/05/2010 09:37:28 PM 692 Views
*nods* *NM* - 27/05/2010 11:29:10 PM 306 Views
But channelling is not a requirement to enter TAR - 27/05/2010 08:31:21 AM 631 Views
The a'dam affects things in Channelers other than the ability itself - 27/05/2010 01:58:34 PM 823 Views
I don't agree. - 27/05/2010 03:02:08 PM 688 Views
you are misreading me I think - 27/05/2010 03:11:50 PM 835 Views

We may never know! - 27/05/2010 09:21:48 PM 718 Views
I would be very surprised if it came up in the books - 27/05/2010 09:25:29 PM 683 Views
Interesting idea. - 26/05/2010 09:38:04 PM 643 Views
Fascinating Idea #4 on this thread. Thanks, Sid! *NM* - 26/05/2010 10:31:48 PM 325 Views

Doesn't work - 26/05/2010 08:37:40 PM 887 Views
we've seen this fail - 26/05/2010 08:38:06 PM 636 Views
I don't mean that - 26/05/2010 08:39:32 PM 627 Views
I'd say you either die or just wake up if you tried that - 26/05/2010 08:40:31 PM 645 Views
As far as I know... - 26/05/2010 08:38:36 PM 672 Views
This could work - 26/05/2010 08:43:21 PM 860 Views

Re: Thanks - 26/05/2010 09:12:10 PM 639 Views
So I think this disproves it - 26/05/2010 08:49:55 PM 924 Views
Is that really true? - 26/05/2010 08:53:45 PM 705 Views
Sid, I made some edits, but really nothing's certain. Look again, pls. *NM* - 26/05/2010 08:55:30 PM 340 Views
I would generally agree with your edits - 26/05/2010 08:57:32 PM 669 Views
yes and no - 26/05/2010 09:31:53 PM 585 Views
Re: yes and no - 26/05/2010 09:55:46 PM 626 Views
well Moghedien somehow managed to create a whole Body for Birgitte - 26/05/2010 10:36:45 PM 687 Views
Could Rahvin turn Rand into a fishman if he was just there in Spirit? - 26/05/2010 10:19:05 PM 649 Views
And I agree with your response - 26/05/2010 09:49:00 PM 648 Views
You have to enter TAR in the Flesh to leave it in the Flesh. - 26/05/2010 10:06:02 PM 739 Views

I think the problem is that you can only channel Spirit through your T'A'R form - 27/05/2010 03:05:13 PM 612 Views
if you dream yourself into T'A'R then you're just a creation of your own mind - 27/05/2010 12:02:38 AM 588 Views
aren't we all? *NM* - 27/05/2010 12:04:08 AM 279 Views
if that was true you couldn't die in T'A'R - 27/05/2010 12:08:10 AM 605 Views
Why not? - 27/05/2010 03:41:10 PM 749 Views
if it's just a creation of your mind? - 27/05/2010 04:03:29 PM 694 Views
is it possible to Travel in T'A'R when dreaming? - 27/05/2010 12:06:57 AM 634 Views
I don't think anybody has said this before... - 27/05/2010 04:01:28 AM 719 Views
Your real body can only channel Spirit. - 27/05/2010 05:25:08 AM 728 Views
Yes, but you need real One Power to affect the real world. - 27/05/2010 06:46:21 AM 700 Views

That's a weird situation. - 27/05/2010 07:09:21 AM 678 Views
Well, yes. The Birgitte situation can't be compared directly to Sidious' - 27/05/2010 08:01:38 AM 693 Views
