Wolf Dreams p1: Bran - A Song of Ice and Fire - Game of Thrones

[@jacobraymond9783]

Rereading ASOIAF rn with my friend for a book club, taking notes and the immense extra context these streams provide has turned our book club into a conspiracy theory club at our local coffee shop 😂 love the great work David, keep it up!

that's awesome I love it

Man that sounds amazing

[@bryanarts2922]

Be careful your not having discussion with other people points of view because while being very to almost exactly the same when one has a thought pulled from within its purely of them & gives you that inner discovery of what is.But to add onto the perspective of another sometimes comes to easy so it lacks that chore foundation where ideas are formulated and that experience is everything a book club discussion is for to help draw such inner thoughts and concept from the depth of your mind.I hope this helps you

i feel both the frustration of not having something work and wanting to fix it immediately, and also the frustration of talking to/with someone and having them not pay attention so i was STRUGGLING this episode 😆😩

I have to say, David might have had his drama with other creators, but him and Tim are a fantastic match. Cheers to Tim. I love his contributions.

[@casey9439]

random thing I learned in my first year in Japan: Quaithe IS wearing a weirwood mask. It is described as a red, wooden lacquer mask. I happened to see an urushi craftsman at work, from harvesting the tree sap, to layering it on a beautiful piece of wood from a fallen limb from a sacred Tsugi tree. Quaithe's mask has red laquer. That doesn't just imply weirwood sap. IT IS weirwood sap. Please look up urushi lacquer craft and you will lose all doubt. She is a wandering heart tree (at least symbolically) She wears an actual heart tree face, covered in red weirwood blood. Good to see you are doing well, David.

[@farahgiovanna]

Superbly interesting, as usual. Thanks David and Tim

Amazing stream, can’t wait to dissect everything on the rewatch.

[@thelateescapist8266]

I've been excited for this stream ever since Dave first floated the idea of it about a year or two ago! And now it's finally here! I imagine the elation I'm feeling right now is a microcosm for what I will feel when we finally get TWOW.

Catching this on the rewatch. Always ❤

[@serpounce5699]

A couple realizations: 1. Coldhands is a Stark. Executing deserters is a Stark job: Ned, Arya, Coldhands. 2. Coldhands is the First Ranger. Not just the leader of the Rangers; literally no ranger has come before him. He invented the archetype. We have another parallel to him in Benjen Stark: a First Ranger Stark who disappeared into the Haunted Forest.

[@DavidLightbringer]

I find no issues with your logic ser

[@derekalexandersmith]

In Finnegan's Wake (where the name Riverrun comes from), there is a reference to a tilted 'Tullagrove Pole' which is meant to imply the world tree off it's axis. It's a further call back to a work by Cicero on the cosmic spheres. One Finnegan companion work connects some dots: "Tully is the anglicized name for Marcus Tullius Cicero". Interestingly, Fisher king is also referenced in several places throughout Finnegan's Wake in the context of hanged god's. Odin reference?

[@DavidLightbringer]

there's no question Martin has read it. Have you watched the Livestream called "We Should Start Back"? it's a forwards / backwards reading of the AGOT prologue and it seems to tell the whole story in a way. I hadn't heard about the Tullagrove pole but that makes it a good fit for the Weirwood symbolism. All the fish stuff the Tully's do is related to the green sea / Greenseer metaphor, so it makes sense that they're named after a world tree from Finnegan's Wake. great find

[@jaythebookfiend1541]

Apologies if this was already mentioned during a Dunk and Egg stream: Grey Waste’s comment about John & Hodor being Bran’s legs pinged that moment where Egg’s father snarks about the realm needing Dunk’s foot-as his descendant, Hodor’s figuratively one of Dunk’s feet (or hands, if you wanna get weirwood-y, since Dunk’d be a root of the family line).

[@pajamaparty01]

As soon as you said Forbidden Planet the Rocky horror theme popped into my head...and I wasn't expecting it to come up latter in the episode

[@mattkyokowilliams9841]

Bran probably saw Jon die, but it’s the secret way to be able to defeat the Others. Body snatch the body snatch, now Jon’s infiltration and undead abilities help him fight the Others.

[@luizkistler]

Skin changing any beast that flies or swims or craws kinda sounds like a powerful skin changer would be able to skin change into a dragon

[@Walkth15way]

We get a lot of foreshadowing in these wolf dreams for the stone kings in the crypts. Some people like to theorise that they will literally get up and move around at the end of the story, what if that is too literal of an interpretation of the foreshadowing? Maybe what we will see is dead Stark greenseers called back from the crypts to aid Bran in some final spiritual battle against the Others in the astral realm?

[@ZChelin6]

I love that George puts so much into describing summer running when Brans inside..

[@dragonmiko]

It's not exactly a wolf dream but in GoT, Sansa III, after fighting with Arya about ruining her dress. The Sansa in a fit of anger rips off all her ruined clothes and cries herself to sleep. She then dreams of Lady and they are running together even though Lady is already dead. This is while Robert is out hunting. The very next chapter Littlefinger tells Ned some wolves got to the white hart before Robert's hunting party and there was barely anything left. Most of the party returned but the king went on in search of a boar. So Sansa can warg too. I just think its much harder that she doesn't have Lady to practice.

[@DavidLightbringer]

she definitely can, GRRM has said so, but this is an interesting connection you raise. Makes sense she might drift and dream through the eyes of a nearby wolf

[@hinakhodiyara7883]

Epic stream. Thank you.

[@thomasleonardis711]

My theory is that ghost can’t talk because Bloodraven hodored him. But more realistically not having a voice can be a metaphor for unspoken truths as well as a lack of agency. So his lack of a voice may be connected to the secret of Jon’s parentage. Maybe even referring to the fact that it’s a secret that we may discover but may never become revealed to the characters of the story if Ghost were to never find its voice so to speak.

[@zegreeno]

Hell yeah this is an awesome stream and reading! Love you and Tim together!

"... a carrack called the Santa Maria was sailing across the Atlantic Ocean, accompanied by two smaller caravels. On board was the explorer Christopher Columbus. The Aztecs knew no more about those three ships than the enormous Pterodactyl Quetzalcoatlus knew about the asteroid that had once sped steadily toward the Gulf of Mexico. But as a light once again appeared in the sky over Central America, that blazing, blood-red comet, a new threat just as deadly was speeding their way, one that would take them completely by surprise and change their world forever."

I’m obsessed with the concept of the weirwood net and green seers. Thank you for fighting the good fight, scouring GRRMs works for symbolism and providing these streams.

[@garthgreenlung420]

Bran describes Shaggydog as, “moving through the trees almost as quietly as another brother he remembered. The one with the white fur and eyes of blood.” This other brother is obviously ghost, but it’s interesting that George uses the same language when talking about the others moving silently through the woods as he does for Ghost moving through the woods. The others are described as ghosts multiple times but I think it’s more likely that George is using this language so we associate Jon and Ghost with the others.

[@DavidLightbringer]

definitely. Jon is like a good Other or something like that

Old Nan is probably a Child of the Forest in disguise, sent to watch over the Brann boy

[@DavidLightbringer]

I don't see any evidence for that. She's probably the woman in Brans vision kissing Dunk.

[@Jacob-fz5ho]

@@DavidLightbringer she speaks the old tongue. She knows lots of ancient lore that nobody else in Winterfell seems to know. She's remarked upon on how short she is. She's been around and old for a very long time. She got knocked down the stone stairs at an old age by Theon and bounced back with no serious injuries or disabilities. Her body was never found after the sacking of Winterfell. There's other clues as well, including the CotF admitting they've been infiltrating the realms of men and watching the Brann Starks specifically. Then Old Nan shows up to be a nurse for Brandon Stark and then Brann Stark? CotF can have kids with humans, as seen with Maggy the Frog being the grandmother of Jeyne Westerling.

Has David ever considered checking out westeroscraft? it's a massive recreation of every city in westros in minecraft and it's honestly really fun to just walk around and explore. It'd be really fun to see him try something a Lil different!

There is also a House Fisher in the North that were Kings along the Stoney Shore. So that could be a further connection between the Tullys & Starks.

[@thelateescapist8266]

Jojen's line about "... controlling every beast that flies, crawls, or swims" could be taken as confirmation of not only Farwynd skin changing but also Greyjoy skin changing, i.e. Euron and Theon. The most significant implication of the suggestion that the Farwynds have skin changer magic is that it establishes precedent for Ironborne skin changers. And as the Greyjoys are the only Ironborne house central to the plot, it stands to reason that if we see any Ironborne skin changing it will be Greyjoys doing it. And Euron and Theon are the strongest candidates in my view. Euron is already established as a proficient magic user. And Theon is in the midst of forming a firm connection to the old gods.

[@DavidLightbringer]

you raise a good point. Theon never had an animal to develop a bond with, but he's hearing the weirwood. And Euron as a failed Bloodraven pupil, that's a very old and clearly plausible theory.

[@rivermistfae]

Interesting parallel that Bran wakes from the Wolf Dream of Summer falling from the Tree/Tower, and only then does he accept the wisdom/knowledge that he is indeed a Warg (Or, Green Seer, but he's not quite there yet, not until a different tower) ~ further opening his 3rd eye, just like how his initial "fall" started that process.

[@TheLoud0ne]

The only reason this comment appeases the algorithm gods is because this content is the closest thing to kings blood on the platform

[@alligator_anderson3041]

It seems like Summer and Shaggydog have an understanding of Summer being the older brother of the two, which i wouldn't expect from shaggydog from seeing how little he respects everone else. I like to think their heirarchy is from Bran and Rikkons personality influencing the wolves the way the wolves can influence the wargs

[@leslieshE]

About Hodor and Bran getting inside his head without his consent, I wonder if we'll ever see Hodor get angry with Bran over this and frighten him to the point Summer will feel the need to protect Bran from him, maybe hurting Hodor in the process. That could also make Bran realise he should not warg people. Then he stops doing it until the hold the door incident where he'd have no choice.

Ghost is a special wolf. He’s another broken hero. Often the ones that are different have the most magical powers.

[@Darksun93]

2:18:00 I do like the idea that Ghost is somehow more powerful magically. Doesn't one of the children of the forest tell Bran that some children are born with green eyes or red? Being born with colored eyes means you're gifted. Maybe something similar is going on with Ghost?

interesting question. possible? perhaps... I'd guess Jojen could tell if he really looked into Hodors eyes, he knew when Bran was in Summer. So yeah Bloodraven or a COTF might be able to
