I'm one of those crazy TES lore nerds.

If you want to give yourself a headache, go take a look at some of the metaphysical stuff and how CHIM and Amaranth work as concepts as described by Michael Kirkbride(guy that pretty much *made* Morrowind what it is, lore wise). He no longer works with Bethesda, but still writes works on the lore, which by many are considered canon. And considering that some of his extraneous works have been referenced in games after the fact, it seems they respect his work as well.

Summary: TES universe is the dream of a dream.
