Mmm. I've often thought that about the dreams too.

If Faramir had gone with the Fellowship, I imagine that it would not have split up... they would have gone on to Minas Tirith, and been trapped there by the forces of Mordor. They would have been destroyed and the ring captured (the eye of Sauron was much on Gondor, so they probably couldn't have sneaked into Mordor). Either that or, in the face of defeat, someone would have used the ring as a last resort, with the consequences that entails.

If they were taking the ring into the presence of Denethor and Boromir in their own city, surely there would have been an attempt to take the ring and use it...
