if it's just a creation of your mind? Foxhead Send a noteboard - 27/05/2010 04:03:29 PM
i always figured it was pretty much your soul that you dreamt into T'A'R, hence the reflecting injuries when you woke...

nor could other particularly nasty things happen to you


You could certainly die of shock. TAR is metaphysically different from normal dreaming as the dreamer is more solidly there.

I've also heard of experiments done that involve blindfolding a patient, pouring warm water down their arm and telling them that they're bleeding to death. End result, the patient died.

Another involved putting a patient into a clean, new hospital bed, and then lying and telling them that the former inhabitant had died of cholera. The patient then exhibited the symptoms of cholera and died themselves.


these results indicate a sort of psychological death, tricking the mind into thinking it's dying. the patient who was told he was bleeding to death didn't actually manifest a gash in their arm, their brain told itself it was dying and so did (btw i'd definitely need more solid evidence than "i've also heard of experiments..." to make a proper response)

whereas if you injure yourself in T'A'R the injury appears in the flesh too. Their minds couldn't physically damage their bodies like that. Therefore it seems most likely that it's more substantial than just a creation of the mind

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 718 Views

I think we are saying pretty much the same thing here darius_sedai - 27/05/2010 09:24:37 PM 649 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 646 Views

But channelling is not a requirement to enter TAR BlackAdder - 27/05/2010 08:31:21 AM 594 Views
The a'dam affects things in Channelers other than the ability itself darius_sedai - 27/05/2010 01:58:34 PM 777 Views
I don't agree. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 27/05/2010 03:02:08 PM 651 Views

We may never know! RugbyPlayingAshaman - 27/05/2010 09:21:48 PM 677 Views
I would be very surprised if it came up in the books darius_sedai - 27/05/2010 09:25:29 PM 635 Views

Is that really true? Sidious - 26/05/2010 08:53:45 PM 670 Views
Sid, I made some edits, but really nothing's certain. Look again, pls. *NM* newyorkersedai - 26/05/2010 08:55:30 PM 315 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 576 Views

aren't we all? *NM* newyorkersedai - 27/05/2010 12:04:08 AM 264 Views
