It's finally done. Much better than the old one! I still have a few tweaks to make, and I need to catch up Brandon's Twitter this weekend...and of course, it's an ongoing project with new Brandon stuff, and hopefully will serve as a Brandon database for all the Brandonfans as well. The tag system keeps it all pretty separate. There's also a lot of 'new' RJ stuff in this database, as we found a great deal of stuff while working on it and didn't bother to put it in the old database. The link below takes you to the HOME page with a search box and tag lists, which are like the categories of the old database, but much more specific (and therefore much more useful). Click on the INTERVIEW DATABASE link for a list of all interviews, signing reports, etc. in reverse-chronological order.
I've been punching about reading at random and came across this:
TEREZ (HERID)
When you said some Forsaken are Dreamers, you meant they have prophetic dreams, right? Or are they just Dreamwalkers?
BRANDON SANDERSON
I did mean Dreamers. People have been trying to pin me down on that one.
TEREZ
Yeah, everybody has been like convinced that you were just confused...
BRANDON SANDERSON
...that I was just confused. No. I meant Dreamers. I DID INDEED MEAN DREAMERS.
TEREZ
I know you did, but...just verifying.
BRANDON SANDERSON
Yeah. And I’m like 95% on that one. We’ll put an asterisk on it. I actually sent Maria deeper into the notes, but I know at least one is, and I’m pretty sure one of each gender is.
FOOTNOTE
The most likely candidates seem to be Moridin, Cyndane, and Moghedien, who are undeniably the most skilled at getting into people's dreams and using Tel'aran'rhiod. These talents seem to go together, and all three of them are still alive as of Towers of Midnight (out of five remaining Forsaken).
Lanfear was definitely a Dreamer. She clearly spied on Rands dreams and either entered one or drew him into hers at one point ... She tells him as much in TSR ... Doesn't mean Moghedien is not a more skilled Dream Walker though as that is something based on skill and practice. But IIRC we have never seen her enter or spy on dreams.
