the prophetic dream chapter. I stopped my analysis short of analyzing his dream because that in itself will take up a lot of time, but I'm getting the ball rolling:
Seamlessly, the crow is now the first thing with Bran when he wakes up after being the last thing we hear mentioned when he fell out the window.
Is Bran warging for the first time? He sees himself so that seems like an indication that he is/can, but then he sees Jaime's face in the next sentence, so perhaps he's slipping in and out.
It's also the first mention we hear of flying, which I assume means warging. Although poor Bran takes it literally. The crow is also protecting him, telling him to hide the memory of Jaime pushing him. This is frustrating later, but he needs to compartmentalize to survive the trauma.
Bran I believe has warged into a crow, as he is watching everyone from above. Another tree reference. I wonder if we'll see this later while Bran is greenseeing. Perhaps it's him knowingly looking at himself(?).
But then we delve even further down the rabbit hole and we come to 'Bran's Dream'. (Link voice's essay here). So not sure now if he's warging or greendreaming. Maybe the latter.
Ok more later, the prophetic dream sequence could fill up a few threads of their own I need to think more on a few points I noticed.
The voice was high and thin. Bran looked around to see where it was coming from. A crow was spiraling down with him, just out of reach, following him as he fell. "Help me," he said.

Bran was staring at his arms, his legs. He was so skinny, just skin stretched taut over bones. Had he always been so thin? He tried to remember.

At the heart of the godswood, the great white weirwood brooded over its reflection in the black pool, its leaves rustling in a chill wind. When it felt Bran watching, it lifted its eyes from the still waters and stared back at him knowingly.
