Was that cited as a Dream, or one of those she thinks are just nightmares? Because it can't happen.

"The great battle done, but the world not done with battle."
One can expect that the battle at TV will be pretty big.

If it is a battle. Collectively the Seanchan are the best military planners in the world, and they would not want a battle at Tar Valon so far from their base of support. They are planning a raid, and Egwene's Dream would seem to confirm that outcome - it's a flyby, not a fight.
"She had dreamed of Seanchan, too, of women in dresses with lightning bolts woven on their breasts, collaring a long line of women who wore Great Serpent rings, forcing them to call lightning against the White Tower."
This indicates as well that the Seanchan attack on the Rebels and the WT will lead to a great battle. Plus, it's mentioned in CoT, ch. 17, that Nicola had other Foretellings about "battles with the Seanchan or the Asha'man".
If you think about it, that scenario is pretty absurd, unless the Seanchan have found a way to make Aes Sedai damane get around the Three Oaths. If they had ANY such technique, don't you think Tuon's der'sul'dam would be aware of it, and be using it with her Aes Sedai damane to rescue Tuon? If the possibility of people coming to harm makes a weave a weapon, then a loophole like "calling lightning against the TOWER not the people in it" will not suffice.

I agree with fionwe1987. IMO that was a reference to Fel & Rand's discussion earlier about TG.
