It's been several years since I read "The Wizard of Oz", but you
must understand the book is quite different from the movie.
Baum definitely DID not imply that the adventure in Oz had all
been a dream. Dorothy leaps back to Kansas with three steps of her
Ruby Slippers and Aunt Em is there on the prairie to meet her.
Dorothy and other people return to Oz in various ways: down a 
whirlpool, in an earthquake, on a giant bird, et cetera.
