As you say, Daughter of the Moon referred to dreaming and the World of Dreams.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14767984732078916662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4833204375789249557.post-36385845216909525942014-09-10T11:40:30.760-04:002014-09-10T11:40:30.760-04:00One point not mentioned, the fact that Nokomis of ...One point not mentioned, the fact that Nokomis of "Hiawatha" is called Daughter of the Moon. Obviously the first person to jump to mind from this is Lanfear, which caused some people to assume she was Nakomi. I think the name was meant to make us think of Lanfear, but to provide a different indirect clue as to Nakomi's identity: because Lanfear's main claim to fame was her skill in Tel'aran'rhiod. So using such a name was a way for Sanderson to clue us in that Nakomi was someone who dwelled in/used/had power in the World of Dreams.macsternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4833204375789249557.post-89894738568145962352014-09-06T17:53:06.753-04:002014-09-06T17:53:06.753-04:00Great stuff, I wondered about this character, she ...Great stuff, I wondered about this character, she certainly seemed like one of the good guys, but didn't pick up the hints that the meeting was in T'roid.

I always thought she was Aiel because she understood Aviendha so well and was on the same wavelength culturally. I also saw that the scene might not be in the waking world - everything being so enhanced.<br /><br />For a long while I wondered if Nakomi was a Dreamwalker from the past (or even future), but we never get a hint of any ability to cross time in Tel'aran'rhiod. The only figures from the past who are in Tel'aran'rhiod are the Heroes...
