Its always been the natural interpretation, to my mind, of a mutually intelligible script for mutually unintelligible languages.
Worlds
I always figured that the dream world and the mystic otherworld where pretty much the same thing. The mystics are said to have no otherworld of their own, because they deny its existence or importance. So as they deny the existence and importance of the otherworld, it becomes mutable and illusionary. As they refuse to interact with it to tie it down, it has no permanent form. Thus we get the dreamworld, a mutable changing thing. Some other 'mystic' otherworlds are similar (Kralori hells, for example) - and in most cases, the mystics teach that the real way to win at a heroquest is to deny the existence/importance of the challenge and refuse to be distracted. In other words, Refute Refute Refute.
