And we all know the corollary to that: "Who am I?"
I wouldn't favour it either for Merry's dream. In the time travel stories, the link between past and present is far more elaborately developed. In Merry's dream, there is no way to account for a genetic or linquistic link between the person who had the experience and Merry.

Well, the slip of the golden circlet over Merry's eye was definitely tactile.
