## Prophecies

Throughout the series, Melisandre is often described as odd, due to her bizarre dreams, riddles and predictions. At a very young age, Melisandre was known to wake up, screaming and crying following a dream, and generally, one of her dreams would either consist of future events, for example, the death or execution of a person at Court or a disaster, other times, she would describe a black figure (which she later goes on to call "Death"), following and stalking her. On many occasions, Melisandre would not know how to explain her dreams to others so she would turn to drawing, riddles or singing, but seeing as many people believed Melisandre merely had a wild imagination because she was a child, she often kept the dreams to herself.

In Episode \*, Sapphira takes Melisandre to meet Valtteri, a seer, to learn what makes Melisandre so different from others. At the meet, Valtteri is quick declare Melisandre a dreamer and explain to her and Sapphira that having bizarre dreams was part of it, but that the older one gets, the less they become a bother. Valtteri claimed that it was dangerous for a dreamer to start having dreams at a young age, as it could lead to insanity and in some occasions, suicide, so to help a child in need, he gives her some Sacred Water of the Fountain of Myhai, to nightly put in her eyes to decrease her dreams for a the time being and make it easier for her to learn and get used to. Upon using the eye drops, Melisandre loses her eye sight and enters a vegetative state of mind. Valtteri had forgotten to mention that the eye drops would cause temporary eye sight loss and force the mind to enter a kind of vegetative state to protect itself from lunacy whilst the body worked through the dreams.

Whilst there is no proof of a dreamer being able to share a dream with someone else, in Episode \*, just days after Melisandre was born, Sapphira has an odd dream, just like Melisandre’s. In the dream, Sapphira finds herself in a foggy forest, where she hears Melisandre’s cries and sees a black figure holding onto her. As she runs to Melisandre, the black figure transform into Christos which causes Sapphira to panic as he had previously attempted to kill her.

Seers and Dreamers come from the Grysha Religion, and they are believed to carry the blood of the Old God, and are therefore known as Prophets.

"Death’s been following me around since I was a child, wherever I turn he’s there, peaking from the corner, or hiding in the crowd, watching me. But no matter how long I stop, death will never catch up to me."
