I think Lauren still has a dA account. Why not ask her?

I have never before considered the problem of character ecology, how the characters you create are "native" to their particular stories or universes and that unleasing them in other stories might have pecuilar effects.

Yeah, they are kind of like little ecosystems.

You went a bit meta here.

A lot of dreamscapes have been described as being meta.

" I could imagine her waking up and wondering why she would want and go nuke the Everfree Forest "
LOL`d my head off at that line XD
"I don't want to drag any problems that exist in my other dreamscapes into Equestria. I guess I am treating Equestria like it was some national park that I don't want overrun with foreign invasive species"
aye, things can get pretty ugly if too many persons were to enter a new world just like that

The lovely anthro/furry mare is now a cute pony.

Aww, it's Carol the sexy anthro mare! Well, not she's cute and non-anthro, but still. She is so transcendentally happy!
Oh man, I just had an idea -- what if Dawn Fairmane (that Scottish mare mercenary captain from Andur) were to show up in Equestria? I can see her getting along with AJ and Dashie.

Actually I imagine Dawn being utterly horrified by the concept of being a pony. Remember she is one of those equines who is very assertive about the differences between equines and horses or ponies. In fact I discovered this little social detail when in frustration I called her a horse once. Got punched through a hedge for my slip of the tongue.

So long as Carol was asleep she to could have pony dreams! The annoying thing is that it worked.
Hold on a moment, so basically both you and Carol are dreamers wandering around a dreamscape (or are teleported to Equestria when you sleep via a means akin to astral projection). Except that she's technically from another world. And that Carol is also a product of your subconscious.
I'd just say that it's all dream logic and leave it at that, but the possible implications of this are too fun to not explore.

Um, yes. Carol is a character in all three of Angel and Knight dreamscapes. Petina who is a character from my subconscious has figured out how to contact Carol while she's asleep through her subconscious and has then shown her how to get to Equestria. Then Petina somehow figured out how to make certain Carol/ Carousel would be a pony and would have a cutie mark waiting for her when she arrived. Also Petina jiggered with the timing so that I would be asleep at the same time Carol would be in Angel and Knight Prime dreamscape so we would be able to interact in the Equestria dreamscape.
I asked Petina how she was able to do this, and whether she'd done this to any of my other dreamscapes. She just smiled and patted me on the head and said I would get a headache if she explained it to me. Also this was a the only time she'd been able to rummage around in my head this much. Apparently my other dreamscapes have enough firewall protection that she has unable to "tweak" things like this. Then again there are whole parts of my mind that Petina has found off limits. Something she has found very annoying on occasions.

Okay, now I'm suddenly envisioning all your dreamscapes as separate virtual machines running on a central server.
...I'd think about making sure the hypervisor is patched and up-to-date; Petina may have found a privilege escalation bug.

If she can do things with the Equestria dreamscape that she hasn't been able to do before....
You haven't clicked on any strange links in your dreams lately, have you?

Yes. I have already received confirmation from Celestia that she thinks it is the best course of action.

This touches on so many fundamental concepts of your dreamscapes, it's actually frightening. Please, if you get any sort of confirmation that others have shared your dreamscapes independently, be very certain of your conclusions before sharing that information.
As for Carol, I see a scroll heading to Canterlot in the near future.

If I wound up a pony in Equestria (even just as a dream-visitor)? I'd be trying to be as inconspicuous as possible. The last thing I'd want would be coming to the attention of the Princesses.

Why? The worst I can see the Princesses doing* would be to send you back home, probably with an apology.
* -- Unless you end up in one of the more crapsack fanon places that has either Trollestia the Impaler or Nightmare Moon in charge. Then? Yeah, you'd be in serious trouble.

It's not that I distrust the Princesses, it's more a cynical knowledge of what's sometimes necessary for the maintenance of a peaceful society. I'd be not only an "outsider," but one with potentially catastrophic ideas and knowledge. Or at least I'd be worried about changing events. I'd probably end up advising the Princesses to keep me isolated from the rest of Equestria.

Valid point, but I'd be giddy for the first hour or so.. then go all stealthy, Ninja Pony.

My reaction to things like that is a little different. "What happened? Okay, deal with the immediate problems. Safe? Secure? I trust those around me? Okay, now you can get the shakes and vent."

I am wondering if Equestria would survive contact with Abdul... or vice versa.
Somehow, I imagine that he and Pinkie would be on the same wavelength.

Still I wonder what she'd think of this, being my dreamscape, would she be fascinated, amused, horrified? Apparently I have an odd mixture of canon and noncanon mixed into it.

Considering that it all started with, "what kind of stories did *I* tell with my pony figures..." I think Lauren would think it quite fun.
