I think the opposite is actually the case... rather than the DT characters
realizing they are fictional characters, we are being told that the creators of
the fiction are as real/fictional as the characters themselves. So King
putting himself in the story is the antithesis of egotism. He's really
reiterating what he's said before, that he's sorta channeling these stories
from somewhere else. So DT says, 'what if' every story written on our world
are from real worlds somewhere else. That seems a lot more likely to me than
the idea that the universe is sitting in the mind of Stephen King.

I'm getting the 'vibe' that all stories and all characters and all universes,
even what we call 'fictional' ones, are a real part of the Dark Tower. And not
just King's stories. All of the books mentioned prominently in the DT series
have 'come to life' in Roland's world (Charlie the Choo-Choo, and the riddle
book, not just King books like Salem's Lot). Then they take a detour through
The Stand and The Wizard of Oz, and encounter elements of Harry Potter and Star
Wars. Why show other stories crossing over as well if it's only King's stories
that make up the Tower? Just a hunch.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
