Baldrs draumar

Baldrs draumar (Old Norse: 'Baldr's dreams')[1][2] or Vegtamskviða is an Eddic poem which appears in the manuscript AM 748 I 4to.

Guðni argued that Þrymskviða was the younger poem of the two and it had received the stanza from Baldrs draumar.

In the end Odin asks her a question which reveals his identity and the völva tells him to ride home.

Sophus Bugge believed them to have been composed by the author of Forspjallsljóð, which is thought to have been written in the 17th century.

The confrontation between The Wanderer (Wotan) and Erda in Act 3, Scene 1 of Richard Wagner's opera Siegfried is based upon Baldrs draumar.
