	Richard Wilbur Forum
		As for “The Dream of the Rood,” the dream is confidently considered as a true vision, a valuable prophecy to be spread; there isn’t the worry visionaries often have over whether their dreams, seeming to come from God, actually come from the devil.
		“The Dream of the Rood” follows the convention of dream vision poems by placing the dreamer in the poem as a character, narrating the dream; that dreamer is even joined to the Cross and Christ by various parallels (such as being stained with sin or infamy).
		The dreamer in “The Dream of the Rood” does wish to be recognized as more devoted to the cross than anyone else, but such singling-out is also seen in the cross itself, and Mary, so it can't be all bad.

		"The Dream of the Rood" (the oldest dream vision poem in English) powerfully describes Christ's Passion through the language of the Germanic heroic code, with the added dimension of the Rood itself as the central speaker of the poem.
		The Rood is torn down in line 73 and buried, only to be found soon by the followers of Christ who adorned it with gold and silver, beginning the tradition of the adoration of the Cross.
		The Rood identifies the situation that must have bothered any recent converts to Christianity: it explains that it should be seen as a victory-sign not because Christ was crucified on it but rather because of what Christ accomplished through His crucifixion.

		The Dream of the Rood is a functional example of the possibilities for another Toolbook program developed by Nicola Timbrell: The Poetry Shell.
		So, The Dream of the Rood, should be appreciated not only for its stand alone value, but as an example of the possible applications of The Poetry Shell.
		One other aspect in the design of The Dream of the Rood that might be improved is the lack of real interaction between the parts of the program; that is to say, I expected to find a good many more hypertext links than are actually present.

	Ecclectica - Against The Dream of the Rood as OE Elegy
		The poem is significant for the clever way the poet uses the personification of the cross to express the poem's theological and eschatological arguments, and is the oldest surviving work of dream-vision poetry native to the English language.
		The poet's choice of verbs in The Dream of the Rood indicates a gradual renewal of the Dreamer's vigour and optimism.
		In this way, The Dream of the Rood is an expression of the "cult of the cross" that spread throughout Europe.

		The Dream of the Rood is widely regarded as one of the finest short religious poems in the English literary canon.
		The Dream of the Rood occurs at folios 104v-106; the manuscript compiler appears to have specifically selected it for inclusion amidst other religious pieces sharing the themes of repentance, of the imminence of Doomsday, and on living a pious Christian life.
		Cast as a dream vision (the first in English), the poet introduces the Cross as a type of riddle for the visionary and the audience to solve—the Cross's nature and purpose are not made clear from the outset, but must be interpreted gradually as its being is revealed.

	‘The Dream of the Rood is a poem about transformation.’
		According to Michael Swanton, 'The Dream of the Rood' was probably written sometime in the early eighth century, or earlier as he states that the ‘Ruthwell Cross (has) nothing incompatible’ with these dates.
		This would explain the extravagant appearance of the Rood, as powerful swords were “personified as loyal retainers (and as such were) entitled to receive treasures as the symbol of their service.
		The Narrator of 'The Dream of the Rood' “must follow the Cross in living the life of an exile, longing for the native land.” One final example of transformation may be taken from the previous religion.
