Frodo's Dream - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

This is an interesting topic. I agree that a lot of Frodo's dreams were "prophetic" if that's the right word for it, because some of his dreams happened after the event he was dreaming about happened.

I thought Frodo had the dream about Gandalf on Orthanc when he was staying at Tom Bombadil's house. Maybe not - I don't have my book here but that's the way I'm remembering it. I also remember that at the Council of Elrond when Gandalf is describing how he was held captive and Frodo mentioned the aforesaid dream that Gandalf said something to the extent of "Frodo, you had the dream long after it actually happened". I sort of destroyed that quote but it was something like that.
