Could you chanel OUT of Tel'aran'rhiod?

We know there are a number of ways to enter Tel'aran'rhiod, from channeling to dreaming to shifting... And if you travel or shift into Tel'aran'rhiod and then die there, there is no corpse left in Randland to be found. But what if you dream your way into Tel'aran'rhiod and from therein chanel a gateway OUT, much as you would had you entered in the flesh... would this be possible? Would it result in the death of your dreaming body? Would you simply have two of you now? 

Has this been addressed? And if not, what are your thoughts?

You could only channel your way out of TAR if you dreamed your way in  "In-the-flesh" and of course can channel.  Very few know how to dream their way into TAR in the flesh.  If you are merely dreaming into TAR you can only channel Spirit in your physical body (this is addressed in-story about the minor TAR ter'angreal, when talking about dream channeling and hurting others), thus you cannot form the needed gateway out of TAR, you just need to wake up.  When in TAR in the Flesh you are not asleep and can thus channel all 5 powers.  When channeling in the dream "not-in-the-flesh"  You aren't actually channeling, you are forming things with your will, thus why "It's just a weave" is an important statement.  People in the Dream in-flesh are more dangerous because their channeling, while still just a willed existence, it is much more than that, a much more solid belief and thus much more difficult to counter with dream only power, but if your understanding of the dream is deep enough even that can be shrugged off by changing the reality of the event.  The gateway into and out of TAR is slightly different than the gateway for traveling, but a talented person could figure it out.  I presume you have finished reading the series but wanted to be a bit vague in case someone drifts by who hasn't read all the way through.  The end of the book series will show the depth of this understanding in the extreme, and thus a pipe is lit in the real world.  The testing ter'angreals use the waking One Power to place limits on TAR pocket realms, but with a deep enough skill the way back will come more than once.
