Bethberry - I have't looked at this thread in ages, but something pulled me back to your response. I really have no idea if parallel universes could exist. Maybe yes, maybe no??

But there is some level where Tolkien sensed these stories were "real", that they passed to him from some outside source. Perhaps that real is just the "real" of Myths and Truths, but there are times when that level of insight can be just as important as anything in the physical world.
