Since there is a microuniverse in this series


Do you think the stand characters could find a doorway to another world like Jake's or Carrie's?

This... is actually a very interesting question.

In my opinion, I don't really think so. See, Flagg, of course, hops worlds the way a kid skips rope, but he A) knows the other worlds exist and B) knows how to access them. There are certainly different ways to access the other worlds (Jake's access points are totally different from Eddie and Susannah's, and if you've read The Talisman and Rose Madder, again, different variations) so in theory, I guess those characters could stumble upon a way in, I just don't think it's very likely.

Its a burning question I've had for years. Its something to wonder what is possible and isn't. Still you do have point it does take some type of ritual to open them.

A ritual, sequence of crazy events or even just the powers that be using their pawns. I mean, Roland didn't really complete any ritual, but the Tower or Ka or Flagg or Marten or Whoever the Hell made damn sure he'd get to those other worlds. And there are often "guides" of a sort that lead these other characters through (like in the Talisman). I think the journey is largely dependent on the guide though, and whether they're benevolent/malevolent and what they're intentions are in sending them anyway.
