I was there: And this is the question I asked and his answer. NaClH2O Send a noteboard - 16/11/2009 11:51:32 AM
Q: "Does one of Perrin's wolf dream/visions concerning Rand get fulfilled by Rand's actions from when he almost kills Tam to his epiphany on the top of DM?"
A: If you mean Perrin's vision of him as a begger with a blindfold, Yes it has been fulfilled by those actions".
You can't get any more direct than that. Dom Audy at 13th Depository had worded the question that way because he was afraid of an RAFO, but Brandon confirmed it right out.
I then followed it up with "and the staff?" I had "misremembered" Perrin's dream I thought the staff was in his dream. And Brandon said "yeah and the staff too" I'm not sure he was any clearer on the exact details of the dream, I may have put words in his mouth, but Maria Simmons Wot fact checker extrodinaire was sitting right there and didn't speak up, so my impression is that Min's dream probably has been confirmed also.

Edit: Obviously a lot of Egwene's and Perrins dreams are like all prophecies, they are highly symbolic. I'm sure that the blindfold symbolized the fact that Rand has lost his way and cannot see clearly. He is blinded by paranoia, rage, and general darkness at this point.

One could argue he already was blind while he wandered in TGS. - 12/11/2009 02:19:47 PM 480 Views

I think, it's that they are both metaphorical *NM* - 12/11/2009 08:11:01 PM 180 Views
But he wasn't blindfolded... right? I hope that wasn't it. - 16/11/2009 01:41:59 AM 407 Views

Fisher as a larger issue than Perrin's vision - 16/11/2009 03:58:32 PM 350 Views
There will definitely be more with Rand in his fisher king role - 16/11/2009 04:32:27 PM 377 Views
It was more like a whole day, he spent the night with the tinkers *NM* - 13/11/2009 03:44:30 AM 150 Views
Doesn't this thread violate the tGS spoiler policy? - 16/11/2009 06:55:03 PM 503 Views
