Was that Geralt's mother or just a dream?
I am talking about The Witcher. Spoilers Ahead.
When Geralt fell sick in S01E08 a man carried him in search of aid. While they rested in a jungle, Geralt saw his mother. He was angry at her, "Visenna", for abandoning him as a child. There was a conversation about his mother's reasons. During this she attempted to heal Geralt. Then, he awakes and it appears as if this had been a dream.
Was this magic? Did his mother actually heal him? Or was it just a fever dream?
Best Answer
This scene is left intentionally ambiguous (as in the book):
One my favourite moments in Sword of Destiny is Geralt dreaming about meeting his mother.
Is it a fever dream? We're actually not even sure when we read it. And that's something I really wanted to capture the essence of in the final episode, which is finally getting to understand where Geralt came from... The fun part of doing [the scene] as a fever dream, is we're not sure what he's creating, what he's remembering, and what's real and what's not. And it's actually something we're going to continue playing with for the run of this series.

How did Geralt know Visenna was his mother?

The show makes it rather ambiguous, but in the books it was clear she did heal Geralt (otherwise he'd have died).Is Geralt a child surprise?
Is Ciri Geralt's Biological Daughter? Despite their strikingly similar blond locks, Ciri and Geralt aren't biologically related. The Law of Surprise is more about destiny than it is magic, so it doesn't have the power to change who a child surprise's biological parents are.The fuck was that Geralt
