I have seen dozens of interesting theories at Theoryland. The 'small detail' was first seen in books 4-6, but recurs thereafter. It apparantly has been mentioned enough that we will feel dumb NOT noticing it. A couple theories espoused at Theoryland are (the arguments for each are rather good if you go over there and read them):
1. Mat's hat was bespelled by Lanfear to some end.
2. Valan Luca is the reincarnation of the Luca from Rand's Rhuidean vision.
3. Using need to discover something in the Dream world. Twice that has first led to the Tower, but Elayne/Egwene redirected it outside of the Tower--is there something in the Tower?
There are other ideas if you visit that forum.
Discuss.

The thing Elayne and Nynaeve were supposed to find in the tower was the empty box that Pedan Fain stole his dagger from.
If they had connected the dots they would have known that Elaida was consorting with darkfriends of the worst sort. It would have answered their wish to find something that would prevent the Salidar Aes Sedai from returning to the tower with their tail between their legs to ask Elaida's forgiveness.
/Theory: The small little thing from books 4-6.

Mat's Eyes related to The Dark One's Eyes (the dice roll)?

The dice rolling are a very good candidate for that "little thing".

The dice thing isn't really confined to those books, though. *NM*

Didn't the dice in Mat's head start in TDR? I thought he started getting them after he left the WT *NM*

yes I think so, and they continue after book 6 so I don't think it can be that. *NM*

small problem, the dice first appear in book 3 and every book since, not just 4-6 *NM*

# 3 should refer to Egwene, if you read it thinking of someone instead of something *NM*
