I dreamed of you but not in the romantic way but in a metatexual since it’s also been used as a reoccurring motif for her intertextual predecessor (and ultimately the one who’s legacy she will transcend) to hint at maybe not narrative but thematic importance and I dreamed of you having a kind of surrealistic feeling about it owing to the fantastical elements of the series, the narrative has literally dreamed of her! But also in the interpersonal aspect and how much this means for both characters yes he has dreamed of her in the literal sense but he has also dreamed of her, the true knight! subconsciously wishing for someone to discredit his overt cynicism for years and for such a shambling and ugly person yet the one true beauty he has ever met being that person so of course she is the one he can straightforward tell I dreamed of you with zero hesitation!! And her!! Being constantly reminded how sorely she sticks out in this society because she cannot conform and being othered and mistreated and yet this man who has been nearly nothing but cruel to her telling her I dreamed of you, because even if the world doesn’t accept her the rules and rigidities blur when dreams are concerned, ie she could almost be a beauty she could almost be a knight, and in the dream her sword is the one that burns against the darkness, she is the only logical successor to this motif and she will not fall short where her ancestors did. But all of this is not to undercut the straightforward romance in this statement. Why did you come back? Jaime only shrugged. I dreamed of you.
