Dragon dream

A dragon dream is a type of prophetic dream or vision experienced by some individuals of Valyrian descent, who are called dreamers.
==Known cases==
===Daenys Targaryen===
Daenys Targaryen, known as "the Dreamer," was the daughter of the dragonlord Aenar Targaryen of the Valyrian Freehold. She is remembered for having foreseen the Doom of Valyria in a dream twelve years before it happened, causing her father to relocate the family and its dragons to Dragonstone, thus securing House Targaryen's future as the last known dragonlord family in the world and the rulers of the Seven Kingdoms.
===Aegon I Targaryen===
Aegon I Targaryen experienced a dream he called "The Song of Ice and Fire." In it, he predicted the return of the White Walkers, and that the Prince That Was Promised would be born from his line. After this dream, Aegon started his conquest to unify the Seven Kingdoms and prepare for the coming Great War.
===Viserys I Targaryen===
Viserys I Targaryen, the fifth King of the Andals and the Rhoynar and the First Men, dreamt of his son being born wearing the iron crown of Aegon the Conqueror, amidst the clashing of swords, charging of cavalry, and roaring of dragons. This prophecy comes true when his son Aegon II is crowned with the Conqueror's crown at the beginning of the Dance of the Dragons.
===Helaena Targaryen===
Helaena Targaryen, Viserys I's younger daughter, appears to have prophetic abilities. While overhearing a conversation between Alicent and Aemond, in which Alicent assures Aemond that he will have a dragon one day, Helaena mutters to herself: "He'll have to close an eye." Aemond loses an eye after claiming Vhagar mere days later.
Helaena prophesies "Hand turns loom; spool of green, spool of black; dragons of flesh weaving dragons of thread." "Hand turns loom" may refer to Otto Hightower, the King's Hand, seizing power and setting the Dance of the Dragons into motion six years later.
In another instance, Helaena warns her family repeatedly to "beware the beast beneath the boards." A short time later, the dragon Meleys bursts out of the boards covering the stairs of the Dragonpit and almost kills Helaena, Aegon, Alicent, Aemond, and Otto.
===Daemon II Blackfyre===
Daemon II Blackfyre dreamt of a dragon hatching at the castle Whitewalls Castle, and so traveled there to start the Second Blackfyre Rebellion. The next day, Brynden Rivers had Daemon imprisoned.
===Daenerys Targaryen===
Daenerys Targaryen dreamt that her dragon eggs would hatch if she carried them into a great fire.
==In the books==
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Daenerys Targaryen has frequent dragon dreams, at first predicting the hatching of Drogon: on two occasions she dreams of a black dragon who covers her in fire, making her feel reborn. She stops having dreams about this dragon once Drogon, Rhaegal, and Viserion are hatched. She later has a dream of an army armored in ice that she melts with dragonflame. After she chains Rhaegal and Viserion, her dreams no longer seem to predict victories: she has a nightmare of Hizdahr zo Loraq kissing her with blue and bruised lips, and having sex with her with a manhood as cold as ice.
Maester Aemon dreams of the red comet, and tells Samwell Tarly that his brothers, Daeron, Aerion, and Aegon, all died as a result of their own dragon dreams. On his deathbed, Aemon disjointedly speaks of dreams and prophecies, though Sam is unable to make sense of any of it. He vaguely recalls "the prophecy" and his "brother's dream," possibly referring to Daeron Targaryen's dream of the dragons returning and Aerys I reading the same in a prophecy.
It is never mentioned that Viserys I or Helaena had dragon dreams. In 2020, George R.R. Martin discussed a fan theory that Aegon I conquered Westeros because of a dragon dream involving the Others, though he did not confirm whether it was true.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Phh5AS3uMY&t=152s However, Ryan Condal confirmed after the premiere of "The Heirs of the Dragon" that the inclusion of Aegon's prophecy in House of the Dragon was suggested by Martin himself.https://www.insider.com/house-of-the-dragon-asoiaf-prophecy-reveal-came-from-george-rr-martin-2022-8
