Looking ahead a few weeks, maybe, but he's the next speaker at the time of writing this post.
To me, the single biggest revelation at the Council, and the one that I doubt the truthfulness of the most, is:
"For on the eve of the sudden assault a dream came to my brother in a troubled sleep; and afterwards a like dream came oft to him again, and once to me."
"...and once to me" is the bit I mean. Is Boromir being 100% honest here? I can see Faramir having this vision all day long. But that Boromir had the vision, even just once, is entirely unexpected to me (and something I've never really thought about before). Did Boromir maybe have a similar but mundane dream just because it was on his mind?
I just am having trouble with Boromir being tossed this prophetic vision once, as if it were out of pity.
