Baldrs draumar

Baldrs draumar (Dreams of Baldr) is an Eddic poem, contained in the manuscript AM 748 4o.

Baldr has been having nightmares. Óšinn rides to Hel to investigate. He finds the grave of a vǫlva and resurrects her. Their conversation follows, where the vǫlva tells Óšinn about his and Baldr's fate and ends with predicting Ragnarǫk.

Gylfaginning tells the rest of the story.
