i think its worth thinking abt how all the "mad" Targaryens are men, while the Dragon Dreamers are women. makes me think, what if Dragon Dreams are like the prophesies of the Zhat Vash from Star Trek? the Zhat Vash all went completely insane, most didnt even survive initiation, and those few that did lived tortured lives and committed horrific atrocities because of their visions. but, the only reason the prophesies came with madness and terror, was because the message was never meant for them. the Zhat Vash were organic beings, and the message wasnt made for organics. it was meant as a message to synthetic lifeforms, not biological. for synthetics, the visions didnt come with madness or fear. i wonder if Dragon Dreams are the same for Targaryen men and women, like it makes the men go mad and they get tortured by their visions, while the women do not. problem is, Targaryen women (gender identity and orientation aside) are oppressed and live stunted lives, locked away and in chains like their dragons. until Dany, who though while its tragic that she grows up alone with no older relatives to love or guide her, since shes alone shes also FREE. and, being free, i think gave her the opportunity to fullfill the prophesy without anyone stopping her. even if just by being alive, cuz if Dany had had living family with her she wouldnt have sacrificed herself to the fire, cuz women are too nurturing and socially aware to be that reckless, unless she just has no one and nothing left to stick around for.
