More suspiciously, she alludes toRand’s power.
In the dream, Selene urges Rand to let go, telling him she isn’t afraid.

Selene isn’t a mere servant of the Dark One but the infamous Lanfear, Daughter of the Night.
Who Is Lanfear in ‘The Wheel of Time’?
Lanfear did not appear in the show before Selene showed up, but she has an important past.
Lanfear is a seemingly immortal channeler and is one of the Dark One’s thirteen most feared followers.
They call themselves the Chosen, but others refer to them as the Forsaken.
Lanfear is often noted for her beauty, which she is unafraid to use to her advantage.
She manipulates others to enact her power-hungry schemes.
Though she sides with the Dark One, her overall loyalty is to herself.
Even her allies are all too familiar with her incredible arrogance.
Certainly, Lanfear is a formidable opponent, and she wants something with Rand.
What Does Selene/Lanfear Want With Rand in ‘The Wheel of Time’?
Though her actions align with the overall plan, Lanfear’s time with Rand is still self-serving.
This is none other than Lews Therin Telamon, the Dragon.
Lanfear tried to win Lews Therin back on several occasions but was rejected.
New episodes ofThe Wheel of TimeSeason 2 premiere Fridays on Prime Video.
