Yes, but this requires a drastic addition to the spiritual mechanics of Myth (namely, that souls can animate more than one body simultaneously). Personally, I'd prefer any theory whose weak points are merely minor behavioral quibbles (i.e. "then why didn't person A do this?") over that. :-)

Well, Seabolt did partially retract this in his errata list. I'm inclined to defend him normally, but there's a pretty good chance that he just misunderstood the nature of the Binding Dream, based on its name. (Remember, he equated this with the Confinement Dream.) If this is so, it's probably the only reason he suggested that Myrdred imprisoned the Watcher in the first place. I don't know that it's so, but I'd suggest skepticism.
