(urth) planetary problems

[Stuart Hamm]

There certainly are instances of characters jumping between short stories..when I first read "Ain't you 'most done" and got how it related to "Blueberry Jam" was my GW lightbulb moment.........

This seems right to me. I can't imagine checking star charts and making careful mathematical
calculations before engaging in dream-travel.

The latter seems like a very cool possibility. I think there may be some examples of this in classic
literature but for some reason all I can think of is R. Daneel Olivaw managing to insert his god-like
presence into three different Asimov universes, tying them together.
 
I get the sense that Gene Wolfe is more aware of himself as a god-like/demiurgical creator of his books than 
Asimov. I'm not as familiar as I should be but I think James Joyce does something like this in his work.
