Emmet has written down a list of "Rules for Time Travel".
They're not so much scientifically validated principles as they are heuristic guidelines. Unsurprisingly, very few of them are lessons he learned "the hard way"—because time travel is a discipline where getting things wrong can mean retroactively erasing yourself from history entirely, becoming green glop in the process.
In any event, Emmet's First Rule of Time Travel is really a good rule for life in general: Don't go anyplace you can't get back from.
He did actually learn that the hard way when Victor's gang of wild west ruffians located the NECESSITY and smashed it up good. Although it led to some fun campouts, Sully naturally wanted to know how his boss planned on preventing it from happening again.
These were, literally, far more dangerous waters they were heading into than last time.
Emmet told him to wait until they arrived. Then he'd give him a demonstration of how to kill two birds with one stone.

(I realized the last entry was overladen with time travel theory so I got rid of the reprise here. By the way, I still have never seen "Back to the Future", and now I really can't, can I?)

The thing with time travel is everyone has their own take on how it works (much like with magic), since it's not a thing that seems to happen in reality or, if it is, no one's really accomplished it yet (that we know of).
Personally, I think time travel must necessitate some form of space travel as well. After all, the Earth revolves on its axis and around the sun, the Sun revolves around the galaxy, and the galaxy is also moving in space. For me, it's a lot easier to believe someone ends up in a different dimension that happens to resemble the desired time period than it is an actual go-back-in-time thing because I can't figure out how one would do that and not end up somewhere one would immediately regret should one live long enough to realize they're now in the middle of the Earth or space or on the moon...

Oh, you compensate for the relative motion of the Earth around the Sun (and the Sun through the galaxy) by inducing solenoidal oscillation through bulk space in such a way that one's projected reference frame is approximately inertial at each point of intersection with the home plane.
In other words you hurl yourself very fast through a chain of alternate dimensions in such a way that you get yanked back to the one you started from, but displaced along the path you would have taken had you "moved that way".
So you're right. In fact that process failing is how Emmet encountered dinosaurs.
