| abstract | - Prophecies, visions, and dreams – concerning the past, present, or future – form an important part of the narrative in the A Song of Ice and Fire novels. Many of them were omitted from the Game of Thrones TV series, though several have gradually been introduced. Prophecies are often made by descendants the First Men who are gifted with Greensight, such as Bran Stark. In the novels, members of House Targaryen are famous for having prophetic dreams – indeed, the reason the Targaryens were the only Valyrian noble family that survived the Doom of Valyria (along with the world's only living dragons) is because the daughter of the family's then-patriarch had a dream that predicted the Doom before it occurred. Believing the dream to be true, the Targaryens relocated the island of Dragonstone just off the coast of Westeros, and only a dozen years later Valyria was destroyed in a single day by a massive volcanic explosion. Various religious figures and alleged practitioners of magic also claim to possess powers of prophecy, from Red Priests such as Melisandre to woods witches such as Maggy.
