Going to LoCaT isn't too hard, even if it takes a while (partly your fault for stopping to stare while Prospit got totally mashed into the Dark Planet, yikes, you're glad the lighthouse keepers told you they saw a bunch of people who escaped), but you don't actually know where your waking self is. Somewhere in the labyrinth. But it's a lot easier to get out than to get in! You just have to wake up wakingly and take a return node!
