Can someone explain Merry and Pippin's dreams in Tom's house?
I mean, Frodo saw Gandalf trapped and escaping from Orthanc, so is Merry and Pippin's also significant? Note also that Sam was the only one who spent a dreamless night. Are the dreams in Tom's house similar to the Mirror of Galadriel?

The Eye

I have had this discussion many times with fellow Ringers (LOTR fans) and i have come to the conclusion that he might be Iluvator. Just somthing for you to chew on.... after all; he said that he was there before the first acorn, the first raindrop and before the elves. Of course lots of people disagreed... but i dont see any other option. BTW, i'm new... so forgive me for any stupid thing i've said in the past.
