Love the voices of the readers, sometimes sound just like the actual actors from the show. Great work all

[@HistoryofWesteros]

Thanks, we love having them, they really make us a better show we think.

[@SirGeeSantos]

this is going to be delicious. but tomorrow. right now is 2:30 AM, and i need to sleep, so i'll just leave my like now!

[@sheilagraddy2290]

G. Araujo So funny was just looking at a different website that discussed seeing the number 23 everywhere. And what it means. And see your 23.

I took a big break from asoaif. Now I'm back and it is so cool to have 4 Westeros History videos to make me company while I deal with Fermi catalog. Lots of love from Niko

[@HistoryofWesteros]

welcome back Niko! Lots of love to you too.

[@lincolnnoronha4128]

Holy dreamwine! I have never noticed the similarities between Ned's, Cersei's, and Varamyr's (Varamyr of all people!) dreams!

[@ViolentMessiah666]

Sweet! 2.5 hours of ASOIAF talk & intentionally bad puns 👍

[@SeptaShaenasSapphires]

ViolentMessiah666 I do like the puns.

[@heatherfrost9265]

"The power of Mel compels.." good one

[@jewsco]

just love any content you guys and gals do. your voice actors are great keep up the great work. these videos always make my work day more tolerable

[@darinbhoy]

great episode guys, all im left thinking is of the Eurythmics song, sweet dreams, with a little nixing of the words Green dreams are made of these, who is a man to disagree? traveled the known world and the shivering sea, everybody's looking for something some of them want to use you, some of them wanna get used by you, some of them want to abuse you, some of them want to be abused. sorry just had to if i didnt type that the song would linger in my head all week.

[@ibeching]

i love you both, and thank you for what you do!

[@grahamgibson4921]

Awesome work as always! I actually managed to catch a third positive dream in the series you overlooked, though it isn't an important one, it's just good for a chuckle. In Feast for Crows there is an early Cersei chapter that ends like this: "Yet when she closed her eyes, it was the other brother she dreamt of, and the three wretched fools with whom she had begun her day. In the dream it was Tyrion's head they had brought her in their sack. She had it bronzed, and kept it in her chamber pot."

[@prof.cecilycogsworth3204]

Fabulous voices on this episode!

[@dangerdan2592]

I checked every day for the new video, and creeped on your twitter a lot to see if I could find any info on when the new episode would be coming. I began to think that you had made a patreon-only video and that I'd have to wait double the time to see it as I am not a patron sadly. I wish I could become patron to you and Radio Westeros, since they just got a patreon, but I just don't make a lot of money at the moment. Maybe I will give around 10 bucks...not much, but I feel like I owe it to yall for all of the free entertainment that I have gotten from this channel, and for all of the hard work that goes into making a video like this one. Great job as always! Alright, now back to the video!

[@jonsnow943]

this Entrance video is awesome I have been working on the dreams forever great work.

[@korky94]

Oh , THANK the Gods, especially you STRANGER.. Love you guys .

[@maireadford198]

Great work! Just recently I've been curious for a compilation of each time a Stark and a Targaryen have met in person. If that's something.

[@samuelogle930]

I can't explain how great it is to see the notification for a new video by yourselves. Keep up the good work!

[@bbaattttlleemmooddee]

I think the Ghost of Highheart is definitely able to see the future or something because she knew Lem Lemoncloak's identity somehow. She taunts him with the knowledge so subtly that only Lem notices it. And it freaks him out. "Aye, a sloppy kiss, a bit of tongue. It has been too long, too long. His mouth will taste of lemons, and mine of bones. I am too old." Bones and kisses. Or rather, skulls and kisses, the sigil of Richard Lonmouth and Rhaegar's best friend. "Aye," Lem complained. "Too old for wine and kisses. All you'll get from me is the flat of my sword, crone." Maybe Rich and GoHH have met before though.

[@thc3704]

how in the hell do you come up with the time to make these big ass videos I have to watch them in sections

[@acrefray]

I heard a rumour these long videos started as mere sentence/paragraph ideas. A man with no face once said "The seed may grow into the mightiest oak", whatever that means. As for how these videos go from one paragraph to one afternoon? As with everything else in ASoIaF, the answer can always be attributed to magic. (Or hard work and dedication, if you're one of those maesters)

[@thc3704]

idk I just can't do it after working all day and chasing kids after work then homework cooking baths it's time consuming I love these theory videos it's just hard to watch them all at once although I wish I could I cant

[@nosekills]

It helps that Aziz has glass candles... and they are burning again...

[@dangerdan2592]

I love how long they are. Even if I have to watch them in segments, I'm glad that they have so much info in them.

[@SeptaShaenasSapphires]

thc3 agree, these guys rock. And have for a long time.

[@luckigolfer]

Christmas came early!!!! Thanks a million, WH!

[@djbigleg3228]

i remember a dream jon had about arya he dreamt he found arya in a cave frozen stiff with needle in her hand.i do think dreams are important some dream about what they fear but sometimes its about future events.its like your mind warning yourself you & others are at risk.great post most enjoyable..

[@onikkobe]

Yess I've been waiting for this 🙏🏽👌🏽

[@dangerdan2592]

Been waiting ages and ages it feels like! Even though it was only like, what, a month and a half? Maybe a little more?

[@TheInfamousThey305]

Actually thought that was LML reading until I saw the description lol. The voices were so impressive

[@dannygrinuk6420]

TY so much guys. I was hoping for a Xmas treat. But this seems early. Could the long awaited House Reed episode be waiting under the tree? They are the key to it all!

[@kingplatypus9322]

Whoa!!! Nice production job!

[@iTreeLike]

HaHa. The Valarian Spoon (i love that lol!)! Great episode guys, as always i really enjoyed this episode and got a whole lot out of it as well. This is my 1st comment but ive been listening to you guys for a long tine and in every respect this is my very favorite podcast in general encompassing any subject. keep up the great work guys. also was a pleasure and a blast meeting and partying with you guys at balticon last april. happy holidays! -Matt V. (Courtney's friend)

[@azizal23]

Oh awesome, great to hear from you Matt! Balticon was the most fun weekend of the year for sure. Thanks for the kind words, we appreciate it.

[@mariedriskell6846]

Very impressed, loved this one! Loved they Narrator and they dreamer voices. love they new map. great job, thank you. Happy Holidays🎄🎁🍬🎭🌲🎍

[@rypulliam]

Top notch show, looking forward to the next one!

[@reachinghigher4259]

Always love these updates. /settles in for a good listen/

[@bbaattttlleemmooddee]

Was Theon there when King Robert visited Winterfell? Maybe he remembered Robert from that. Theon could have felt left out when all the Stark kids were being introduced to the King.

[@derekwalter4238]

I was so confused the first time I read Jon's first wolf dream in clash. after a few rereads I've come to think that it's a future version of bran he saw

[@caprico82]

Brilliant as usual. Just a suggestion, consider having a few seconds pauses before and, especially, after the beautiful book readings.. That would signify and make the readings more impactful and gives the listener a little time to get the feeling of the quotes.

[@joejessup9775]

Or are the impaled dreamers in Bran's dream the Children of the Forest? They were the original dreamers, after all.

[@curtiscrowe5718]

I love this channel!

[@autopartsmonkey7992]

i love you guys....my fav GOT channel by far....and i realized how much work these vids are....but FFS... make more...faster....chop chop.

[@WestsideKnight]

reverend moonie chill dude lol..

[@autopartsmonkey7992]

garry corrothers piss off..who asked you ,,

[@MrScottie301]

Thank the Old Gods and the New. Love your videos and I know I am going to dig this one!!

[@robymarz]

Excellent video ! As usual! :)

[@chinaskibloodline]

Perfect subject and great video, as always, so much so it's redundant to say it!

[@HistoryofWesteros]

thanks!

[@kptnmorgan]

RE: Theon's dream. I had a thought that maybe this was him dreaming the future.theon isn't begging FOR mercy, he was begging mercy (Aka Arya)to stop chasing him with her Wolfpack. Just a thought I had during the reading.

[@panathagirl13]

Very cool new beginning!!!!

[@sflr38]

This will likely go unread since this video came out so long ago but in regards to the ToJ and the parallel with Jamie and Ned's confrontation being 5 dead on one side and 3 on the other- in Sanaa's dream about all her loved ones being dead 5 are actually dead and 3 she only thinks are dead- not sure what this means but it seems important.

[@HistoryofWesteros]

nice catch! I don't think I've seen anyone point that out before.

[@theshe-wolvesofwinter2777]

Very nice you guys, I love this episode, the subject is intriguing, and as usual you 2 are right on point. I do have a theory about the greenseers impaled on the ice spires. I believe they have been sacrificed by the W. Walkers, in their sacred area, in order to have access to their skills, DNA, or as a magic spell. Just as Bloodraven has the weirwood going in and out and through his body, by the same token, the WWs' are using the ice as greenseers use trees. Just my tinfoil on the subject. Keep up the great work & have a great week ahead. Thanks for the video. Old Nan

[@Solidify13]

Is that yolkboy doing the narration? Hell, they need to hire that guy to do the audiobooks. The current audiobook out has a narrator I can't stand.

[@HistoryofWesteros]

that is Martin Lewis, aka "The Readers" he's at Echoes of Ice and Fire on Facebook. We'll have him do voices for us semi-regularly!

[@CinescapeMedia]

Loving the new episode! Would love to have you on my show sometime!

[@ValarMorghulis...]

Also...(I just hit Play from Pause around 4:00 + (READ BELOW) - Human aspects & magical aspects... George is almost always inherently telling a Human story! I believe it's why it's become so popular & if not that...it still is, popularity aside. (Extemely Human! Extemely!!) Love you two & all across the Realm! Valar dohæris or rather (in Valyrian - FREE YOURSELF FROM "THE BOX")

[@loriwarnke4292]

Bran in the heart of winter dream sees greenseers impaled on the icy spires and this is very similar to the gods impaled on the iron throne in the Forsaken chapter, idk what that means but its weirdness

[@lincolnnoronha4128]

Very cool shirt, Aziz! Big fan of Lovecraft here. Where did you get it? I have a hard time importing cool shirts like that here in Brazil.

[@HistoryofWesteros]

hey thanks, Ash got it for me for my b-day. She got it from TeePublic... not sure if they send to Brazil but fingers crossed for you.

[@Viridyana]

Westeros History regarding Jon first wolf dream, when I read the books again after ADWD I interpreted it as Bran in the weirwood reaching out through space and time to his loved ones when in need. So not ACOK Bran, but late ADWD Bran.

[@rayoflight37]

It was present Bran, he was hiding in the crypts under Winterfell, in his last chapter of ACOK he explains it, that he reached out and found Jon and Ghost.

[@tessafrench7767]

But didn't dream Bran tell Jon that it was ok and he liked it down there in the dark? That doesn't fit with Bran being in the crypts.

[@joejessup9775]

Westeros History, don't you think that the two heads Tyrion has in his dream is a reference to Maelys the Monstrous? And that this dream is GRRM announcing to everyone that Tyrion is a Lannister/Blackfyre bastard?

[@Shiftdougler]

Aziz , you're getting buff

[@RichardHorpe]

Yes, yes, just yes.

[@QuicheSpaghetti]

HO BOY AM I EVER PUMPED

[@haileyhart615]

the other dreamers may be past brans/3er trying to prevent the long night

[@gusgair6509]

Two heads in the Tyrion dream might represent his dual house lineage? His Targaryen side was happy to kill him, while his Lannister side was weeping.

[@rogersampeur7033]

Jus realized Jon was born in tower of joy with 3 kingsguard. Like 3 wise men. Baby Jesus

[@caitlinbrewer4843]

Jon is very much a Messianic figure

[@noahcarpenter9753]

You guys are awsome

[@BeldansFire]

So, Benjen is not in the hall in Theon's dream. Hmmmm

[@thenorthremembers9670]

great video yet again!:)

[@liatrd]

Didn't you say that the Lannisters may be descendants of the empire of the down? in which case they may have been dragon lords and that's why Tyrion has dragon dreams

[@babycowkiller475]

Liat Rubinfeld makes no sense to the story

[@joejessup9775]

Does Xaro Xhoan Daxos know that Daenerys is the Amethyst Empress reborn? In ACOK, Daxos gave Daenerys a choker neck jewelry with a big amethyst in it.

[@Spartan155]

wait? DO we know the 3 eyed crow is bloodraven? I don't know that we do. The weirwood trees are their own unique dreams and Bloodraven seems confused when Bran called him the 3 eyed crow.

[@Spartan155]

Just wait until Quentyn comes back lol :P Preston Jacobs stylez

[@roberttickle4066]

i need that sauce morty

[@champagne7530]

Euron is the valanqor that will slay Cersei. He is a younger brother. he has mismatched eyes.

[@vickils9571]

I love you guys, have you thought about posting on Minds?

[@cerberusloyalist5038]

Vickils I dig their work too. Is it weird that I hope they passionately makeout when the cameras off?

[@SaltyMinorcan]

Good job guys

[@jacobgreenhaus6973]

did you guys get a new camera? looks really HD. nice.

[@HistoryofWesteros]

We did! It's been in place for a few episodes but Ashaya has learned how to improve the quality even more each time.

[@IvorMektin1701]

But Preston said...........

[@dangerdan2592]

SHHHHHHH

[@fookinaye8277]

and so it is

[@caitlinbrewer4843]

It probably won't happen but I think it would be appropriately tragic if Mel fell in love with Jon. Like maybe she'll first worship him as Azor Ahai but eventually come to love him as a man. Only for him to never love her back.

[@ValarMorghulis...]

+Westeros History - Completely unrelated to the video...I'm only like 2:00 in... I was just wondering...(yes, I overuse ellipses)... Ahem, on a site I don't remember but a popular one & it stated the Top 5 Books to read waiting for W.o.W. etc...and it turned me onto Sanderson & I've read (listened) to mostly all of his work & was wondering - "What are your feelings about Way of Kings series, Mistborn♡, & others?" Just wondering...lol...I know your time is "preecciouusss!" TWOIAF♡ (I've every version & multiples of hard copies, haha...wrapped in, well...bubble wrap & such, haha. I'm a collector! Sorry! Love Yins!!! (There's your personal *Q&A* haha...wtf is Yins!?) Valar dohæris...

[@HistoryofWesteros]

Sorry for the late reply, but we are both big Sanderson fans! This is Ash, and I am a particular fan of his worldbuilding and how he has crafted this interconnected universe (the cosmere). Plus he is very prolific! Stormlight Archive is my favorite of his series, but I especially like The Emperor's Soul, too. We went a con with Sanderson as a guest, actually, and Aziz got to ask him a question (about when Sanderson decided to include the art throughout the SA series, as it's a brilliant choice).

[@javiergarciagonzalez3538]

Aziz, your girl is a keeper, just... marry her already or i will :P

[@akiramado9198]

Aww

[@dangerdan2592]

Who does the readings of the text from the books?

[@Viridyana]

DangerDan I think it's yolkboy

[@lindahoekstra3172]

No, Yolkboy only sounds slightly pretentious. This guy from Echoes of Ice and Fire takes it TO THE NEXT LEVEL. Would be cool if Yolkboy and Lady Gwyn did the voices though.

[@derekwalter4238]

DangerDan I believe it's that lucifer means light bringer guy

[@HistoryofWesteros]

It is Martin Lewis aka "The Reader". He has a Facebook page called Echoes of Ice and Fire.

[@Jennifer-di4nl]

Jesus SLOW down when you read!!

[@Swordinthedark]

Fucking finally!

[@craigchristian1277]

New stuff woooo

[@monsouranda2822]

The wallpaper in the left looks hand drawn? Is it?

[@HistoryofWesteros]

yes it is! Both maps are done by Michael Klarfeld but only the left one is hand drawn. His work is at www.klaradox.de

[@knightofsummer236]

atleast youre not as slow as a well known writer! #justkiddin #happyasfuck #newepisode

[@itaipee]

You really need to balance the voices. I can hardly hear the girl but the dude is too loud

[@BassBrigade2012]

It sucks l don't dream since I started smoking the Buddha...

[@lincolnnoronha4128]

wat? How do one smokes a Buddha? Is that a weird american slang for the sweet sweet Cannabis perchance?

[@BassBrigade2012]

bud"" autocorrect. but still works

[@BassBrigade2012]

Lincoln Noronha And yes it is. I thought that slang originated from outside the US though

[@lincolnnoronha4128]

Zach Giddens well Buddha WAS a fat dude. lol. If you want to get your dreams back, try some Ayuhasca. I just can't gurantee you will wake up afterwards.

[@matthewr2296]

Take a tolerance break and the dreams will bounce back with extreme vividness and clarity

[@iFaFo_0]

😎

[@jackkellyattorneyatlaw8921]

If you watched this and didn't 'like' it, you should reevaluate your life.

[@andrewmanford]

If you wrote that before watching...you need to understand constructive criticism.

[@jackkellyattorneyatlaw8921]

Andrew Manford oh I understand constructive criticism. Denying someone credit for a job well done is not that.

[@neilski182]

Horay another epp😊 been waiting a while for this one. Now not to sound greedy but when will aziz vs chapter going to start. can i vote for arieo 1 or any davos chapter

[@prof.cecilycogsworth3204]

Yes, please. A chapter by chapter analysis!
