[TEOTW: 15, Strangers and Friends, 181]
LAN: Seven ruined Towers/A babe in a cradle holding a swordThese refer to his Malkieri heritage: Lord of the Seven Towers, and sworn as a babe by his parents to the fight against the Shadow.
THOM: A man-- not him-- juggling fire/The White TowerEither of these could refer to his channelling nephew Owyn, who seems to have been caught up in the "vileness" after the Aiel war. The Tower could also represent future involvement with Aes Sedai.
MAT: A red eagle, an eye on a balance scale, a dagger with a ruby, a horn, a laughing faceThe eagle is related to his past life/lives as a Manetheren general. The eye is another reference to him having to sacrifice his eye at some point, in order to achieve total Odin-hood, and to produce some greater good. Compare to the "half the light of the world" prophecy, and Eg's dream about Mat with blood streaming down his face. The dagger is the Shadar Logoth dagger which Mat was involved with for so long. The horn is the Horn of Valere, which Mat blew in TGH. As for the laughing face, it doesn't seem to refer to anything specific Mat's done so far, although he is a bit of a trickster, or to any other prophecies.
RAND: A sword that isn't a sword, A golden crown of laurel leaves, a beggar's staff, him pouring water on sand, three woman standing over a funeral bier with him on it, A bloody hand and a white hot iron, and black rocks wet with blood.The Sword That Ain't is Callandor. The crown is the Crown of Illian, achieved in ACOS. The beggar's staff vision doesn't relate to anything which has happened thus far, but the vision ties in to other ones involving Rand dressed as a beggar. Pouring water on sand probably refers to Rand making it rain at Rhuidean. The three women over his funeral bier are probably his three chicks--Min, Avi, and Elayne. No idea about the bloody hand and hot iron, although there is a similar vision for Elayne in TGH. (A suggestion that has nothing to do with Elayne relates Rand's self-inflicted hand wound when Liah is lost in Shadar Logoth in LOC (the bloody hand) to the balefire he used on her at the end of COS (the "white-hot iron" is Min's description of balefire, since she doesn't know what it actually is).) The bloody black rocks are probably the rocks of Shayol Ghul; this seems to tie in with "his blood on the rocks of Shayol Ghul" from the Karaethon Cycle.
PERRIN: wolf, broken crown, trees flowering all around him.The wolf refers to his wolfbrotherhood. The "broken crown" has to do with his marriage to Faile. Faile is second in line for the Saldaean throne, after her father. The meaning of the flowering trees is unclear; it has been suggested that they refer to Loial singing to the trees over Perrin's family's grave, or that Perrin will find the Song.
[TEOTW: 16, The Wisdom, 195]
The number of sparks increased when Nynaeve joined the party.Obviously, Nynaeve is an important part of the group who will fight the Shadow.
[TGH: 24, New Friends and Old Enemies, 305] [TGH: 43, A Plan, 511]
ELAYNE: The Rose Crown of Andor, a severed hand, not hers, a red-hot iron and an axe.The crown is the Crown of Andor, which Elayne claimed in TPOD. The severed hand, red-hot iron, and axe may be related to the bloody hand and white-hot iron Min saw around Rand.
[TGH: 43, A Plan, 511]
NYNAEVE: Man's ring of heavy gold.This is Lan's ring. The vision could symbolize Ny's love connection with our favorite Warder, or it could refer to some particular instance, yet to come, in which she'll need the ring for some specific purpose.
[TGH: 24, New Friends and Old Enemies, 305]
EGWENE A white flameDuh. Refers to Eg. becoming Amyrlin Seat.
[TDR: 6, The Hunt Begins, 62-3]
PERRIN: An Aiel in a cage, a Tinker with a sword, a female falcon and a female hawk on his shoulders, a darkness swirling around him.The caged Aiel is Gaul, who Perrin freed. The Tinker is Aram. The swirling darkness is vague. Possibly, it just means that the shadow was chasing him, or maybe more specific-- there are Darkfriends near to him? Maybe this is the same darkness Min sees around Rand and Perrin, with the fireflies/sparks?
[TSR: 17, Deceptions, 198]
LOGAIN: A halo of gold and blue, signifying glory to come.This may have to do with being him being un-gentled, but there is probably more to this than that. Suggestions include the "Rand fakes death and Logain takes credit" theory (see Eg's dream), the "Logain uses Callandor" theory, and the "Logain takes care of Taimandred" theory.
[TSR: 1, Seeds of Shadow, 21]
GAWYN: A heron marked sword, his or threatening, His banner with a field of green rather than white, either breaking Egwene's neck or kneeling to herThe meaning of the heron sword is uncertain. I guess Gawyn could be a blademaster. "Threatening" could refer to fighting Hammar and Coulin in the Tower Coup. The banner is that of the Younglings, whom Gawyn commands.
[TSR: 1, Seeds of Shadow, 16-23]
RANDOM AES SEDAI IN WHITE TOWER: A silver collar, similar to, or actually, a damane's. Also lots of death and suffering/bones etc.The bones, death, etc. probably refer to the Tower's current strife (the coup, etc.). The collar vision agrees with others which show that at least some AS will be captured by the Seanchan.
[TFOH: 26, Sallie Daera, 317]
SHERIAM: "Rays of silver and blue flashed about her fiery hair, and a soft golden light; Min could not say what it meant."*shrug* Could this have something to do with her being Keeper? Could it be related to Logain's gold and blue aura?
[TFOH: 26, Sallie Daera, 317]
CARLINYA: "a raven floating beside her dark hair; more of a drawing of the bird than the bird itself. She thought it was a tattoo..."Carlinya is one of Sheriam's faction with the rebel AS. The raven tattoo indicates that a person is "property" of the Seanchan empress.
[TFOH: 26, Sallie Daera, 320]
EDESINA: "[...] a silvery collar suddenly appeared, snug around the woman's neck, and as suddenly seemed to shatter. Min shivered. She did not like viewings connected to the Seanchan. At least Edesina would escape somehow."Meaning is obvious. Note that Edesina is one of the Aes Sedai sent to Tarabon, which we know to be under Seanchan control.
[TFOH: 28, Trapped, 343]
SS/GARETH BRYNE: "When Bryne came in, I had a viewing. An aura, and a bull ripping roses from around its neck. All I know is this. If he stays close to you [SS], you live. If he gets too far away, for too long, you are going to die. Both of you."The bull ripping off the roses indicates Gareth Bryne severing his ties to Andor and Morgase. (The crest of House Bryne is a bull with a wreath of roses, which symbolize the Rose Crown, around its neck.) We have not yet seen a situation where SS's or Bryne's life depends on having the other one around.
[TSR: 47, The Truth of a Viewing, 544]
GAWYN: either breaking Egwene's neck or kneeling to herThe either/or vision about Egwene is similar to several of Eg's dreams which imply that Gawyn will either get over his psychosis and go along with Egwene, or that he'll end up destroying her, maybe killing her.
[TFOH: 50, To Teach and Learn, 592]
FAOLAIN: '"A nasty woman," Min murmured, squinting after Faolain ... "You'd think, if there was any justice, she would have an unpleasant future ahead of her."'By implication, Faolain has a good future. This perhaps will come of her swearing fealty to Eg.
[TFOH: 50, To Teach, and Learn, 598-9]
MARIGAN, NICOLA, and AREINA: (Three women refugees with Ny et al.) "Those three you brought with are trouble, and that is a viewing." ... "I only caught glimpses of aura, and just out of the corner of my eye. Never when I was looking right at them, where I might have made something out."Marigan was Moggy, which certainly was trouble. The other two are possibly the 2 BA Mog had with her. Even if they are not, they are causing problems among the Salidar AS--they tried to blackmail Eg, and succeeded in blackmailing Myrelle. Their antics prompted Eg to tell El and Ny not to return to the army until she deals with them, which will doubtless cause more trouble.
[TFOH: 50, To Teach, and Learn, 598-9]
RAND, ELAYNE, MIN, AVIENDHA:This seems to be in the process of coming true. Elayne, Min, and Aviendha (the third one, with a temper) are all in love with Rand, and he with them.
'Elayne leaped off the cliff. "Min, you had a viewing about Rand and me, didn't you?" [...]
"Yes." It was a wary word.
"You saw that we were going to fall in love."
"Not exactly. I saw you'd fall in love with him. I don't know what he feels for you, only that he's tied to you some way."
[...] "And you saw there would be someone else. Someone I'd have to ... share ... him with."
"Two, " Min said hoarsely. "And .... And I'm one."
[...] "Who is the third?"
"I don't know," Min mumbled. "Only that she has a temper. Not Nynaeve."'
[LoC: 41, A Threat, 527]
RAND: Countless thousands of sparkling lights, like stars or fireflies, rushed into a great blackness, trying to fill it up, rushed in and were swallowed. There seemed to be more lights than she had ever seen before, but the darkness swallowed them at a greater rate, too. And there was something else, something new, an aura of yellow and brown and purple that made her stomach clench.The sparks and darkness seem to be a continuous indication of the status of the fight against the Shadow. They're first mentioned when we first meet Min in TEOTW. The nasty bruise-colored aura could indicate Rand's (physical and psychological) injury during his captivity by the Tower AS, or it could indicate that he's growing more and more susceptible to the Taint.
[LoC: 41, A Threat, 532]
RAND: "I saw an aura around you [Rand] in the throne room. Aes Sedai are going to hurt you. Women who can channel, anyway. It was all confused; I'm not sure about the Aes Sedai part. But it might happen more than once."Injury at the hands of channelling women has happened once--Rand's captivity by the Tower AS. It is possible that he'll be hurt by channelling women again, although not necessarily more AS--after all, they've had their turn. The most likely groups seem to be Sevanna's Wise Ones, the Black Ajah, and the Seanchan. Other possibilities are the Sea Folk, the Sharans, the Salidar AS, and some Forsaken.
[LoC: 41, A Threat, 534]
MELAINE: will bear twin daughtersMelaine is currently pregnant.
[LoC: 46, Beyond the Gate, 578-9]
RAND and PERRIN: "When you two were together, I saw those fireflies and the darkness stronger than ever.... But with two of you in the same room, the fireflies were holding their own instead of being eaten faster than they can swarm, the way they do when you're alone. Twice he's going to have to be there, or you [Rand]...." "If he's not, something bad will happen to you." "Very bad." Rand: "Then I'll just have to keep him around." Min: "I don't know that that will be enough, it will happen if he is not there, but nothing I saw said it won't because he is. It will be very bad, Rand."The sparks indicate the odds in the fight vs. the Shadow. Clearly, Rand doesn't stand a chance w/o Perrin. The first time Rand needed Perrin was probably the capture by the Tower AS. The second hasn't happened, so Perrin better hurry up in Ghealdan.
[LOC: 49, The Mirror of Mists, 616]
RAND: (possible viewing): Rand says, '"Trust me, Min. I won't hurt you. I will cut off my arm before I hurt you." She was silent, and he finally looked round to find her peering at him with a strange expression. "That's very nice to hear, sheepherder." Her voice was as odd as her face.'This may or may not be a real viewing. However, it seems like she saw something related to what he'd just said. Maybe he'll cut off his arm (or lose a hand!), or hurt her somehow.
[LoC: 50, Thorns,626]
MISC. NOBLES: "Maringil...was going to die by poison. Colavaere... would die by hanging. Meilan...would die by the knife. ...Aracome and Maraconn and Gueyam were all going to die too, bloody deaths, in battle.Colavaere killed the first two, or had them killed, and then hung herself when her plan to seize the Sun Throne was foiled. The last three died in Rand's Seanchan campaign in TPOD.
[LoC: 50, Thorns, 628]
BERELAIN: "a man in white who will make her fall head over heels."Who is it? The only groups of people who regularly wear white are WCs and gai'shain. It seems most likely that this mysterious man is Galad--there's a certain symmetry to the Most Beautiful Woman and the Most Beautiful Man getting together. Not to mention, Berelain is in Ghealdan at the end of TPOD, and thus in prime geographic condition to meet some handsome Whitecloaks.
[ACOS: 2, the Butcher's Yard, 88]
WHOLE BUNCH O' FOLKS: "Taim has blood in his past and blood in his future, but you could guess that. He's a dangerous man. They [the Asha'man] seem to be gathering images like AS....The problem is, what I can see is all blurry....Kiruna and that lot have all sorts of things around them, but they stay so close together that it all...jumbles together....It's even muddier with the [Tower AS] prisoners....I keep feeling there is something important, if I could only pick it out. You need to know."This is pretty vague. There is something important that Rand must know about Taim, or the Asha'man, or the Aes Sedai sworn to Rand, or the Tower AS prisoners.
[ACOS: 33, A Bath, 526]
RAND: I saw you and another man. I couldn't make out either face, but I knew one was you. You touched, and seemed to merge into one another, and....one of you dies, and one doesn't."Rand takes this to mean that LTT is a real presence in his mind. That seems too easy, and Min seems doubtful about that interpretation.
[ACOS 34, Ta'veren, 534]
MERANA, ALANNA, BERA, FAELDRIN, RAFELA: "They will keep their word....I just saw these five in your hand."Those five will keep their oath of fealty to Rand. Note that Verin and Kiruna are not part of this group.
[ACOS: 35, Into the Woods, 543]
RAND: "He would almost certainly fail without a woman who was dead and gone..."The most likely person for this to be referring to is Moiraine, who everybody thinks is dead.
[ACOS: 35, Into the Woods, 546]
MOIRAINE: "it was not as if she had really expected Moiraine to turn up alive. Moiraine was the only viewing of hers that had ever failed."Obviously Min had some viewing of Moiraine which had not been fulfilled by the time Moir took a header through the Red Door. WE know Min is never wrong, and thus, Moiraine will be back!
[ACOS: 35, Into the Woods, 549]
DARLIN, CARALINE: Caraline Damodred and High Lord Darlin will get married.This has not occurred, but he is courting her.
DARLIN: "To her eyes a crown suddenly appeared on Darlin's head, a simple golden circlet with a slightly curved sword lying on its side above his brows. The king's crown he would wear one day, though of what country, she could not say. Tear had High Lords instead of a king"Somebody suggested that this may be a stripped-down version of the Illianer Crown of Swords, but it is more likely a crown that we haven't seen before, or of a new country.
[ACOS: 41, A Crown of Swords, 642]
CADSUANE: "It's Cadsuane. She is going to teach you something, you and the Asha'man. All the Asha'man, I mean. It's something you have to learn, but I don't know what it is, except that none of you will like learning it from her. You aren't going to like it at all."What will Cadsuane teach the Asha'man? Our only clue is her experience in dealing with male channellers, and that men she has brought to the White Tower for gentling live markedly longer than usual. So, it may have something to do with how to decrease or slow down the effects of the Taint. Another suggestion is that she will figure out how to do male-female linking. Given her Glossary entry, maybe she will teach them how to survive without Saidin, which would explain why they won't like it. Given the general behaviour of the Asha'man, the thing they really need to learn is MANNERS!
[TPOD: 29, A Cup of Sleep, 560-562]
FOUR TOWER AES SEDAI PRISONERS WHO WERE COMPELLED BY VERIN:This is all either trivial, self-explanatory, or both.
BELDEINE: "She was going to bond an Asha'man as a Warder!"
SARENE: "A tempstuous love affair, of all things!"
NESUNE: "One red-and-green aura spoke of honors, and fame. A huge building appeared above her head and vanished. A library she would found.
ELZA: No specific viewing.
SORILEA: "She had never seen anything really useful around that white-haired harridan"
ALL FOUR, PLUS SORILEA: '"Suddenly an aura flashed, blue and yellow tinged with green, encompassing them all. And Min knew its meaning....'They will serve you, each in her fashion, Rand.".... Sorilea would serve him? Suddenly Min wondered exactly what "in her fashion" meant.'
