Dreams Quote by George R.R. Martin
““Do trees dream?” “Trees? No . . .” “They do,” Bran said with sudden certainty. “They dream tree dreams. I dream of a tree sometimes. A weirwood, like the one in the godswood. It calls to me. The wolf dreams are better. I smell things, and sometimes I can taste the blood.””
