I just read your journal entry about the dream and I agree whole-heartedly with all you say about the significance of the dream (and the significance of Faramir being the dreamer, and the connection back to Tolkien). I wish that Faramir could have had his lines too (I wish the scene with Eowyn had been just that bit longer). That would have connected their visions together (if Eowyn was going to be given the dream at all).
Now I come to think about it, I'm quite taken with the idea that Faramir's dreaming is powerful enough for those closest to him to experience it occasionally - in the same way that Boromir dreams about Isildur's Bane.
