Baldrs draumar (Balder's dreams) or Vegtamskviða is an Eddic poem, contained in the manuscript AM 748 I 4to.
Balder has been having nightmares. Odin rides to Hel to investigate. He finds the grave of a völva and resurrects her. Their conversation follows, where the völva tells Odin about his and Balder's fate and ends with predicting Ragnarök.
Gylfaginning tells the rest of the story.
