She's never put it to the test.
So? Are you saying she's wrong? That's not what the context seems to indicate.
No it did not. I you read it properly, the poster confused what Moghedien did to Birgitte (forcing her to think of herself as a child) and what she threatened to do with Nynaeve.
Yeah. I thought he meant simply destroying Elaida's mind to make her forget.
Nothing suggests Egwene could destroy Elaida's mind the same way without a similar struggle of wills, and unlike Mesaana Elaida knows nothing of TAR or how to control it, and so no such struggle of wills with Egwene could happen.... Against Egwene, Elaida would have no control of TAR at all. She'd fall under Egwene's control long before her mind snapped.
That's if Egwene follows exactly the same procedure. Bair talks of a WO who lost her mind facing something stronger in TAR. The implication is that this wasn't a person, but something in TAR itself. Egwene could use something like that, I think.
Of course, Egwene would not even snatch her into TAR for moral reasons, let alone try to control her (that would all fall under compulsion in her book, and we know what she thinks of compulsion) but that's beside the point: nothing in the books suggests it's possible to use TAR to alter specific memories of someone permanently in a way that would hold outside TAR (short of coupling TAR with Compulsion).
Actually, it can be extrapolated. If you can indeed Heal yourself, as Slayer suggested, then it should be possible to compel. From the way RJ has written compulsion weaves, he clearly sees it as a weave that physically alters/damages the brain. Physical changes in TAR hold in reality, so a powerful Dreamer who can imagine that kind of damage on another in a precise manner should be able to imagine another person compelled to her specifications.

Where have you got the idea Egwene or any Dreamer could do this? *NM*

I meant "to locate Elaida *via her dreams* and pull Elaida into TAR"

You are confusing being in TAR and finding/entering someone else's dream

I read some of that differently. TaR tricks not working in the real world = destroying walls

Well, I wasn't going to suggest that Eggy go full-hardcore and break Elaida's (Lightside) mind. *NM*

On another note: I wonder if finding Elaida via her Dreams and then Skimming to her would work.

Dream finding doesn't reveal location. We've been told this repeatedly. *NM*
