The story of Dreamfyre in House of the Dragon
Dreamfyre is often mentioned as Helaena Targaryen's dragon in House of the Dragon and is very much alive. Although the dragon has not appeared in the series, Dreamfyre is said to be kept in the Dragonpit at King's Landing. Before Helaena became its rider, Dreamfyre belonged to Queen Rhaena Targaryen, who is the sister of King Jaehaerys I and the great-aunt of Viserys and Daemon Targaryen.

In Season 3, Episode 6, Alys Rivers reveals five dragon eggs to Aemond after running out of ways to convince him to stay. The moment he sees them, Aemond quietly whispers, "Dreamfyre" likely confirming it. Alys explains that Dreamfyre laid the five eggs at Harrenhal when the original Rhaena Targaryen lived there following the death of her daughter.
The revelation of these hidden eggs has a potential to change the course of the story? If the eggs eventually hatch, they could shift the balance of dragon power and potentially alter the direction of the war. On the other hand, the eggs may simply be part of Alys' plan to manipulate Aemond into staying at Harrenhal.
While the episode leaves viewers with several questions about Dreamfyre's eggs and their significance, it also arrives with a shocking death.
