“As its apex Valyria was the greatest city in the known world, the center of civilization. Within its shining walls, twoscore rival houses vied for power and glory in court and council, rising and falling in an endless, subtle, oft savage struggle for dominance. The Targaryens were far from the most powerful of the dragonlords, and their rivals saw their flight to Dragonstone as an act of surrender, as cowardice. But Lord Aenar’s maiden daughter Daenys, known forever afterward as Daenys the Dreamer, had foreseen the destruction of Valyria by fire. And when the Doom came twelve years later, the Targaryens were the only dragonlords to survive.”
120 BC: DOOM OF VALYRIA
Twelve years before the Doom, Lord Aenar Targaryen’s maiden daughter, Daenys the Dreamer, had a powerful prophetic dream along with visions that Valyria would be destroyed. Foreseeing the Doom, she convinced her father to leave Valyria before the cataclysm. Aenar set sail, moving House Targaryen and their property and their five dragons to the island Dragonstone.

On the day of the Doom, every hill for five hundred miles exploded, filling the air with ash and smoke and fire, which killed even dragons. Earthquakes destroyed palaces, temples, and towns, while lakes boiled or turned to acid. The Fourteen Flames, the fiery mountains of Valyria, sent molten rock a thousand feet into the air, and red clouds rained down dragonglass.
The proudest city in all the world was gone in an instant, its fabled empire vanished in a day, the Lands of the Long Summer scorched and drowned and blighted.
There have always been Targaryens who dreamed of things to come, since long before the Conquest.

Ummm do you guys think Daenys the Dreamer most likely went mad with the revelation. Like she went to sleep one night and woke up the next day knowing in her bones that her entire culture would soon be decimated in an apocalyptic event so horrific that five hundred years later the ruins would still be smoking. Everything she knew would be gone and the only ones she could convince of the truth were her family. A small enclave of people out of an entire, ancient civilization. The rest doomed to die. She probably spent the rest of her days catatonic with the sheer terror of it all. So yeah anyways
