Archived from groups: alt>books>cs-lewis, others (more info?)

Chapter 13, "How The Dwarfs Refused To Be Taken In". King Tirian has
gone through a stable door to find a paradise that's much bigger than
the stable. In there, he found Digory and Polly from The Magician's
Nephew, Peter, Susan, Lucy, Eustace, and Jill. In the Stable Paradise
are also 11 Dwarfs, who can't perceive the paradise. To them, it looks
like an ordinary stable. They can't see anything in that stable because
the stable is enclosed and its night outside. Also, they can only smell
what would be in a stable. This is because those Dwarfs had ceased to
believe in Aslan or anything else, due to having been fooled by the fake
Aslan.

These Dwarfs appear to be in a reality which is slightly altered from
the
reality inhabited by King Tirian and the other Friends of Narnia. The
Dwarfs are in a "Stable Reality" while Tirian et al are in a "Paradise
Reality". However, "Paradise Reality" people can talk to the Dwarfs,
physically move the Dwarfs, and put solid objects in front of the Dwarfs
that the Dwarfs can pick up and even eat. However, the Dwarfs can only
perceive sounds, smells, sights, and touches in terms of the "Stable
Reality"
They can't see the light of the Paradise Reality. Also, if they
intersect
the wall of the stable in their reality, the wall is solid to them.
However, that same wall is nonexistent to people in the "Paradise
Reality",
and they can see the light, smell the flowers, and eat the fruit of
Paradise.

Examples below:

Tirian swung one Dwarf out of the Dwarf circle, but he darted back to
the circle, rubbing his nose as if he had bumped into the stable wall.
What would have happened if Tirian had tried to take a Dwarf outside the
imaginary stable? Would the Dwarf have gotten crushed on the stable
wall?

Aslan conjured a glorious feast for the Dwarfs, but the food tastes like
stable food to the Dwarfs. What would have happened if Aslan had
conjured a bonfire for the Dwarfs with 1) Paradise wood, or 2) Wood from
the Narnia outside the stable. Would the Dwarfs have been able to see
the fire?
