So far we have as confirmed - Daenys, Daeron the Drunken, Aerion, Egg, Aemon, Daemon II Blackfyre and Daenerys and then, semi-canon if you take HOTD seriously - Aegon the Conqueror and Helaena. Also I think Shireen is probably a dragon dreamer as well but unconfirmed.

It seems odd that there is such a massive gap in the Targaryen tree between the last known dreamer and the generation of Daeron/Aemon/Egg/Daemon II where it's like every other kid is a dreamer. And then another gap until Daenerys (and maybe Shireen). Unless there's a magical reason for the timing of these dreams showing up, it's possible there are other dreamers who we just don't know about yet - any guesses?

Some fun tidbits:

". . . the great tournament at Harrenhal during the year of the false spring, the tourney where Rhaegar crowned Lyanna Stark as queen of love and beauty. That was a much bigger tourney than either Ashford or the Hand's tourney. The IVANHOE format again, champions and challengers, but longer, with more challengers... and with a seven-sided team melee in the ancient style. (A lot happened there at Harrenhal. If I ever wrote the prequel book some readers keep asking for, I could probably set the whole thing during those ten days.)"

-It's pretty fun that now we're getting the play very soon. It sounds like he has a lot of plot/material for a long time.. interesting to see how he fills those 10 days. It sounds so massive though that I'll be curious to see how that works on stage where there's limited space and scope. I do hope we get to see this event on screen at some point with a big budget.

" The Reach is the heart of the chivalric tradition in the Seven Kingdoms, the place where knighthood is most universally esteemed, and therefore the place where the master of the games is most likely to devise and apply stringent rules. In Dorne and Storm's End and the riverlands and the Vale, things are perhaps a little less strict, and north of the Neck where the old gods still reign and knights are rare, they make up their own rules as they go along."

"The personalities of the sponsoring lords and their master-at-arms are another factor. Robert Baratheon was not a great respector of old traditions, and he would hardly have wanted a "knight's only" tournament to honor Ned, who was not a knight. Lord Ashford of Ashford, on the other hand, was trying to curry favor with Baelor Breakspear, the preeminent tourney knight of his time."

-I love the detail about Bobby B not really gaf about traditions and just wanting to honor his best bud Ned. Did Lord Ashford know that the "preeminent tourney knight" wasn't even planning to joust at the event lol. Also RIP that plan backfired.
