My question is - what's the deal with the saa? What role has it really played in the books so far, other than showing other forsaken who's been using the True Power? I'm not long awake so my head isn't really in full gear yet, but it seems a strange thing to put in that i can't recall ever being used to any real purpose. I know Rands vision has already been partially damaged, but if at some point he draws on the True Power again, I can see it being a big focal point of the story - if he used a LOT of it, would it cause enough saa to obscure his vision and make him blind?

This may not be a simple question, but it IS from a simple person. Or maybe it is. What would happen if someone went in to tel'aran'rhiod in the flesh, and fell asleep wearing a dream ter'angreal? Would a dream version of themselves appear there as well? Or might they dream themselves into another higher plane of tel'aran'rhiod?

Asmodean once referred to the black space Rand "skims" through as being like "a dream of a dream". I'm also thinking here of when Birgitte takes Nynaeve to watch the forsaken meeting in tel'aran'rhiod, surrounded in a dark empty place. Might these all be related, the same place/plane, perhaps?

Pure speculation.

Apologies for partly repeating my earlier post.

Also, have we seen any detrimental effect on Egwene having entered in the flesh yet?

Long time lurker here. This isn't specific to TGS and may have already been covered elsewhere - apologies if it has - but when Rand, Mat and Perrin "see" each other when they think of their friends - is this the same way Lanfear locates Rand? Tam'alana'something-or-other?
