Euron Crows Eye a Greenseer..?

So, I'm on my third read through, and I noticed a passage in AFFC that Victarion witnesses when meeting with Euron, after the iron born cast doubts on sailing to slavers bay for dragons.

He says, "When I was a boy, I dreamt that I could fly, he announced. When I woke, I couldnt or so the maester said. But what if he lied?

Sounds a lot like Bran. Could Bloodraven have been sending him visions as well?

Euron could have some prophetic capability. For arriving the day after Balon's death, he may have ordered his death, but maybe not. Anyway, he feels to me a much more dangerous opponent, with much greater knowledge in magic and mysteries, than almost anyone else (save some red grand priests and Marwyn).



And the reference to flying would be, I think, for riding a dragon. Even if he will die somewhere before the end.

Bran and Jojen are the present examples of Greenseers, plus Bloodraven. Both boys experienced life-threatening illness or injury, and both awoke with a powerful ability. Euron IIRC experienced a similar illness when he was a boy. In Bran's early dream-visions, he fell from a tower and flew over a landscape of twisted spires, littered with dead bodies. When I read Euron's passage awhile ago, the two experiences seemed connected to me, perhaps a shared experience that every potential greenseer must survive. Bran had BR as coach, but did Euron have anyone to aid his own awakening? Or is that lack of mentoring part of the reason why he's dabbled in a diversity of mysticism, seeking to control/expand his gift, leaving him unbalanced?

I personally think people make a little too much out of the dream that Euron has. I may be wrong and he may be Bran's counterpart but I really see the dream going on to talk about the whole Maester Conspiracy. The Maester says he can't fly and it kinda reflects the idea that Maesters are controlling what people learn and trying to rid the world of all magic. Like I said I could be wrong but i just don't see enough proof to get behind the whole Euron the Greenseer/warg theory.

If it was a green dream, and it was brought on by a head injury, that could explain Euron's black eye that he keeps covered. He may have hyphema. Makes sense to me but I'm really only invested in euron plot because of his current proximity to Sam, marwyn and the citadel. He is a good villain though :D

The strongest evidence for the source of possible prophetic visions or the like comes from Euron's drinking of Shade of the Evening.



Nothing blatantly rules it out, but I don't see any reason to believe he's a greenseer when there is already a very strong reason given for his visions and ability to see ahead etc.

Would he have been drinking shade of the evening as a boy, when he had the dream?

Thinking about this over the weekend. I know there's the theory that he was a molester. But maybe that wasn't what he was doing. Maybe he was trying to skinchange Damphair? Damphair was clearly scared of him and it reminded me of the Hodor cowering in the corner of his mind when Bran entered Hodor's mind.
