In the vast, sprawling world of George R.R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire," there exists a prophecy that has subtly woven itself into the narrative fabric of both the books and their TV adaptations. This prophecy, known as Aegon's Dream, foretells a cataclysmic event that could bring about the end of the world as it is known, uniting characters and storylines across centuries.
