I never liked the CHIM thing. It kind of cheapens the entire world they've worked to create. Not really, the world is seen as a dream brought on by the Dreamer, so CHIM is actually the ultimate thing to strengthen the world and that ideal. It's like a state of nirvana - for lack of a better phrase. TES lore is dreamlike in that it goes only so deep and then only optionally. After all, it's not exactly confirmed everything Kirkbride did at that point was canonized, and Bethesda is never one to have a straightforward canon that avoids retcons and mass violations of causality.
