This also shows two types of thinking, a rational one, based on facts, and a slightly superstitious, mystical one that comes from a harsh land where everything is possible. The rational side, the learned people like Maester Luwin dismiss BranвЂ™s visions as being only dreams while Osha, a wildling from the other side of the Wall believes that what Bran sees has a deeper meaning. The characters in the book have different opinions about the power of dreams. The three-eyed crow serves as a mentor in this time and makes prophecies about how BranвЂ™s life will be. For him, the dreams start during the time when he is in a comatose state after his fall. Another character that has multiple prophetic dreams is Bran. In the case of Daenerys, she dreams about her dragons and about being in a fire but not really getting burnt which later proves to be true. DreamsДreams have sometimes a prophetic value in the book. The crow most likely referred to a metaphorical way a flying, a method that will allow Bran to see further than the others. BranвЂ™s spiritual awakening is associated with the three eyed crow which at one point, advices Bran to fly and promises him that even if he wonвЂ™t be able to walk, he will fly.

The third eye is generally associated with clairvoyance and the ability to see what other people donвЂ™t.

When Bran starts having prophetic dreams, his mentor is a crow with three eyes. The members of the NightвЂ™s Watch are called crows because of their black clothing but crows are also associated with wisdom. Crows and ravensДЄnother symbol frequently found in Game of Thrones is the use of crows and ravens. The symbol is personalized by Brandon, the eldest son of the House Tully who was also considered as being the black sheep of the family, when he chooses to have a black fish instead of a silver one on his armour and shield. For example, House Tully uses as its symbol a leaping silver fish. While this may characterize a group of people from a certain part of Westeros, sigils also characterize individual characters. For example, House StarkвЂ™s sigil is a direwolf while TargeryanвЂ™s symbol is a dragon. Some houses use mythological animals on their sigils.
