The common name given to the Vala Irmo, from the gardens in Valinor where he dwelt with his spouse Estë.


Notes

1

Lórien took his name from his gardens in Valinor, so perhaps '(garden) of dreams' might be a more appropriate rendering. The form 'god of dreams', though, is actually used for this Vala in Tolkien's earlier work, hence the translation used above.
