Interesting. Makes me want to peek at Morgoth's Ring and the Osanwe-Kenta.

It seems to me that the waking dreaming attributed to Legolas may be inherent in Elves. However, Frodo's experiences in Lothlorien and during his meeting with Gildor may have a different cause. Gildor and his company were Noldorin Elves that were raised in Valinor. Their "powers" seem to differ from the "Grey Elves". Lothlorien was under the rule of Galadriel, among the most powerful of the Elves then living in Middle Earth and her country was "enhanced" by the Ring she wore.
