Well, not necessarily. One day, he was gone all night. Another day, he was only gone for 30 seconds or so. So, it all depends on how Dreamland’s time passes in relation to his own how long it will have been.
The time-space relation between Dreamland and the real world is inconsistent. For example, with time, gbfluteman’s assessment is correct, while a day was only 30 seconds and a few hours was a night, in both worlds the 8 years of him not dreaming and returning to Dreamland was the same.
In relation to space (area where he pops back into Dreamland), one time when he was kissing Nastajia he reappeared standing with his hands on the edge of the lookout tower at the Elven castle. So maybe his body moves on autopilot or something while he’s returning to Dreamland or his position is corrected to make up for the changes there since he’s been gone. Either way, it would be fun if he reappeared in midair a few feet above the ground and fell flat on his face. 😀
methinks that alex’s legs look to long for him, maybe felicity came back with him, since the author made a point of making them holding hands clarified while they were dropping, and she is a real cat underneath the covers?
Without proper conservation of dreamentum, every dreamer who was moving when they woke up would add a portion of their rotational energy to the dream-continuum. The buildup effect over time would make the dreamworld rotate faster and faster until EVERYONE would be flying…
Sometimes… but then you get good fiction that doesn’t. Like the Loony Toons, Dr. McNinja (web comic: a must read),ect. Fiction world works on different rules than real life. These rules are explained on TVtropes.
I don’t think it works that way, though, otherwise he’d have taken Nastajia back with him when they almost kissed. (Which would have been pretty cool, by the way.)
Hmmm… doesn’t he pop back in where he left…?!? >_<
Not always… once he was abcent for several hours
That’s not what they meant. Usually he comes back in the same place. So would he come back in hours later, falling in the same place?
not necessarily, he didn’t appear within the tomb, or since the tomb was gone, the cliff.
acutally, he DID appear in the tomb.
Yeah, but does he preserve momentum? If he popped out close to the ground, it’ll be a much shorter fall.
Exactly, so it woudl definately hurt less lol.
just to let you know. this is fiction…..right?
But good fiction is consistent and plausible. So we can argue about what might happen and how he can save himself.
theoretically, wouldn’t felicity have already reached the ground by the time he got back?
Hm… cat-pillow?

What I want to know is:
What happened to Kiwi?
She was inside the gold purse… which was on Alex’s shoulder…

Arzamol, +50 points for referencing the good doctor.
He was a doctor. He knew science.
THAT would be a trippy twist…
