After having written In Search of the Truth, I decided that it might be helpful to have a timeline laid out for the series, so as to make it easier for people to set the events in the series against what happens in the show.

Please note that I am not attempting to determine what years in our calendar correspond to the EFC dates. This timeline is to place the episodes and stories in the proper order for Dreams, Memories and Truths only (and not all episodes appear in the timeline).

(Note: All emphasized titles are stories in the series. All others are episodes.)

DMT Timeline:

• Late March, 4 A.C.
  • "The Joining"; "First of Its Kind": in MiaB, the Colonel says that Liam appeared suddenly seven months before; could be early April as well, but I'm placing it in March because of the series
