And now I want to reconsider if Malcolm might have been talking about Demonreach, instead of Lash.  I mean it is possible, considering how vague he was.

Serack:
Here's the description of the woods in the dream.  I'll snip out the parts that aren't about the environment and the "Jabberwock"


--- Quote from:  DB Ch. 12 ---I dreamed almost immediately.  Threatening trees.  Mostly evergreens, rose up around a small glade.  In its center a modest, neat campfire sparked and crackled.  I could smell a lake somewhere nearby, moss and flowers and dead fish blending in with the scent of mildewed pine.  The air was cold enough to make me shiver, and I hunched a little closer to the fire, but even so I felt like my back was to a glacier.  From somewhere overhead came the wild, honking screams of migrating geese under a crescent moon.  I didn't recognize the place, but it somehow seemed perfectly familiar.
[/snip]
There was a rushing sound out in the woods, and I saw the tops of several trees swaying in succession as something, something big, moved among them.  From tree to tree, the unseen threat moved, circling the little glade.
[/snip]
"You know what it is.  You know what it wants."
I swallowed.  "The demon."
He nodded, blue eyes on mine.

By the way, I want to point out that his father expounds on a theme that Eb and Uriel also make a big deal about in Changes and GS.


--- Quote from: DB Ch 12 ---"You are a product of your own choices, Harry, and nothing can change that.  Don't let anyone or anything tell you otherwise."
"But...my choices haven't always been very good," I said.
"Whose have?"

I'd like to use that as evidence towards "Malcolm" being a benevolent entity.

In Chapter 11 of Dead Beat Harry has a dream where he see's his Dad, He describes he's in a forest with pine and can smell that he's near a lake. He doesn't recognize the forest but it feels really familiar to him. Is it possible that this is one of the first references to Demonreach?

y'know, i never thoguth of that.

Congradulations, you win one Duck point

Tarion:
You know when you realise something so obvious that you hate yourself for not getting it sooner?

... Yeah.

Absolutely sealed it for me.  That's too obvious a parallel for it to be a coincidence. 

OZ:
I like this idea. I really need to reread the series. It's been a while.
