MOM dreams.  I think he mentions that he may bore to death."

Del replies :
It's not that simple.

Frank Bryce vision : Harry does *not* see that one through LV's eyes.
Arthur Weasley vision : Harry sees that one through the eyes of the
snake that LV is possessing.
There's another one I can remember, the one where a DE (Rookwood ?) is
revealing something to LV. Harry sees that one through LV's eyes but
he doesn't realise that right away. First he notices his own hands and
voice, and then he sees himself in a mirror. Had he not seen and heard
those things, it's not clear whether Harry would have realised that he
was LV.

Let's get to the Corridor dreams now. What makes you think he's not
seeing them through LV's eyes ? We're never told whether Harry sees
any part of his body, nor if he sees himself in a mirror, and he never
talks. In fact, considering that those dreams are actually a
translation of LV's obsession with getting to the Prophecy, it would
make perfect sense that Harry would see those fantasies through the
eyes of the one who wants to live them. Up until he realises that he
can contaminate Harry's mind, LV believes that those fantasies are
strictly private, so why would he dream of anyone but himself going
down that corridor ?

And finally the vision about Sirius. Harry sees that one through LV's
eyes. He sees his hand and hears his voice, so there's no doubt. But
that's *precisely* one of the things that scream "fake vision" to me.
The beginning of the vision is *exactly* the same as all the previous
dreams he's had about the DoM. The content is exactly the same, the
intent is exactly the same : get to a specific spot. Why ? Harry
doesn't know at first.
And then finally he gets where he's been wanting to go for *a whole
year*. And what does he find ? Sirius. A bloodied Sirius who's
obviously been tortured for quite some time already.
But Harry doesn't notice anyone else around. No DE grovelling to their
master "He's here Master, we got him and brought him to you as you
ordered, but he won't do it, he won't take the Prophecy." Nope,
nobody, as though Sirius had been torturing himself.
And then there's the dialogue between the two : LV tells Sirius to
"take it for me...". Take what ? Obviously, Sirius knows what LV is
talking about, it sounds like they are simply continuing a
conversation they'd been having, but how could that be if LV just
arrived there ??
And those are just the *major* problems I have with this vision, there
are also some minor ones. But really my main problem is : how could a
dream Harry's been having for almost a year relate an event that's
taking place now ?? This is the very same dream he's been having for
months, only taken to its conclusion for the first time. It simply
doesn't make sense to me.
