#maybe in the dream bran alreadyknew ned had died?

[amber-laughs]

When Bran gets his full powers I'm pretty sure he’ll remember that this conversation he had with Bloodraven and Ned was him learning that R+L=J

“I dreamed about the crow again last night. The one with three eyes. He flew into my bedchamber and told me to come with him, so I did. We went down to the crypts. Father was there, and we talked. He was sad.” “And why was that?” Luwin peered through his tube. “It was something to do about Jon, I think.” The dream had been deeply disturbing, more so than any of the other crow dreams.” A Game of Thrones - Bran VII

Which is odd because Rickon seemingly had, if not the same, a similar dream. I think it may have been a different dream though because he remembers it much better than Bran and doesn’t mention Jon but Luwin (and maybe therefore Grrm?) says they had the same dream implying Bloodraven came to Rickon too.

“Rickon,” Bran said softly. “Father’s not here.” “Yes he is. I saw him.” Tears glistened on Rickon’s face. “I saw him last night.” “In your dream …?” Rickon nodded. “You leave him. You leave him be. He’s coming home now, like he promised. He’s coming home.” A Game of Thrones - Bran VII
