Sleep deprivation, dehydration, and fasting were also used by many cultures along with chants and sometimes dance as preparation to experience prophetic visions, which in Aragorn's case appears to have happened! Very wonderful dream he has, and fully in accord with what you have described his second daughter to be. A memory of a most vivid dream-vision of the future for him, one to help sustain him when he feels barred from the one hope he has!
Author Reply: Yes they were. We studied that a lot in psychology. I liked the idea of Aragorn seeing a vision of Arwen and his daughter. It's actually his daughter, Elarinya, that he sees. She's the only blonde child of his in my corner of the world. She inheireted it from Galadriel and celebrian, I also always envisioned Gilraen as blonde, I just always have. I thought Aragorn needed the visions of hope for his future for sure. I'm happy you enjoyed this and I appreciate the review. |
