Mistake in the book or is my memory failing?

[SethTurner]

First, let me say that the WoT series is the best I have ever read. I am a HUGE fan. I started the series (only up through book 3) back when they first came out many many years ago, but got frustrated waiting for new books to come out so I told myself that I would stop and wait for them all to be released and then read the whole series. Well, that time has come!

 

I am only on Book 3 - Chapter 12, so please guard any replies so as not to spoil anything I have not read yet. Thanks!

 

My question is this. In Book 3 - Chapter 9 - Page 126, Perrin is dreaming and sees Lanfear. Is says "Even as he recognized her, she lifted her head and looked straight at him." The problem is I can not recall when Perrin ever met her. She was introduced in Book 2 when Rand, Loial, and Hurin met her for the first time in the other world from the portal stone. She returned briefly (with only Rand and Loial present) in Cairhein in the Illuminator scene and at the end of the book when she revealed herself to Min in Falme. When did Perrin meet Lanfear before the dream? I am going crazy trying to figure this out!

 

Thanks for any help.

He sees her first in Chapter 4, Shadows Sleeping.

First he sees a man offering something to drink in a silver cup, then she does the same, in a golden one(after he's in the golden armor+axe)

 

A man destined for glory.”

 

He spun away from the mirror and found himself staring at the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. He noticed nothing else about the room, cared to see nothing but her. Her eyes were pools of midnight, her skin creamy pale and surely softer, more smooth, than her dress of white silk. When she moved toward him, his mouth went dry. He realized that every other woman he had ever seen was clumsy and ill-shaped. He shivered, and wondered why he felt cold.

 

“A man should grasp his destiny with both hands,” she said, smiling. It was almost enough to warm him, that smile. She was tall, less than a hand short of being able to look him in the eyes. Silver combs held hair darker than a raven’s wing. A broad belt of silver links banded a waist he could have encircled with his hands.

Thank you! It makes sense to me now. He only saw her before in another dream.

You are not supposed to know that!

 

(yeah, sorry, I'm still a bit annoyed I didn't figure it out myself...)
