why are you assuming that all souls are the same?

And I'm not presenting my statements as "proof". I don't know whether they die permanently or not and I suppose it could go either way. I am not trying to prove anything myself. I am pointing out the flaws in your proofs. Your evidence is relying on unreliable statements (no concrete evidence) from people who don't know anything about human souls. Just because Birgitte knows MORE doesn't mean she's either correct or accurate. I've read statements of a lot of knowledgeable people in scientific or clinical fields that are STUPID wrong. Even if she is correct, her soul is presently different than a human soul. When she does, it goes to T'A'R'. When a human soul dies, it goes elsewhere. If you kill Birgitte's soul in T'A'R', it has no where to go, it's already dead in its destination.
As an additional thought, there's the everyday risk that your nightmare will enter into T'A'R' and if you die you're dead. This is something that affects neither dreamers, nor wolfbrothers, nor Heroes. it's possible that these unlucky people are just "Dead", but given the general patterns throughout the cosmology of Randland, I doubt this. They probably just die and their souls go wherever human souls go. However, they would be being killed in T'A'R' just like any Dreamer. Jordan does not strike me as being the sort of author who would prescribe this fate for his peasantry and non-heroic innocents.

Egwene and the WIse Ones don't know the most basic thing about Teleranriod

IIRC Nicola was killed by a Black Ajah Sister and Egwene had tried to save her.

Yes, I meant allowing her near the battle in the first place

Also, I'm not sure how you could expect the Wise Ones to know that.

except for the part of the soul that stays in the sleeping body, like they've explained many times. *NM*

mmm fair point. maybe if you were there "too strongly"?

right. but i dont think 'too strongly' ever means completely. maybe in the flesh or something

I don't see why they would have to be unique themes.

I don't even know why they're supposed to be mutually exclusive. *NM*

No, because Heroes and Wolves are both different from run of the mill humans

That's far from "the most basic" thing and it is entirely excusable that they do not know it.

It could be extrapolated from the fact that it's souls that inhabit it

You're caving to bias from being outside the story with more information than any single character.

that's only because you're stubbornly holding to yours, despite everyone indicating its errors

Incidentally, wouldn't that mean it is safer to go to Tel'aran'rhiod in the flesh? *NM*

I'm more inclined to believe that being killed in the flesh in TAR

But human souls don't go to Tel'aran'rhiod, from what we know.

maybe it does?

Not @ all - if humans regularly go to TAR after they die, we'd have seen it already. Heroes would
