Tav has to be “special” in some way, I think. I mean, he/she has one of the “special” tadpoles, no? However, it may be up to the player to decide what that means because Tav is a custom rather than an origin character.
The game seems fairly straightforward on the “special” thing. In fact…it seems to beat us about the head with it. We were chosen for tadpole insertion for our extraordinary abilities or connections to people in power (Gale chosen of Mystra, Asterion vampire spawn of a powerful vamp —- and itching for freedom, Wyll for connection to Mizora, etc). Lazeal…I have this sneaking suspicion that she was her queen’s lover (her fanatical devotion is a bit…much). And Shadowheart is a big mystery to me, but obviously has some hidden powers.
I assume we were all handpicked to lead the armies of the Absolute. However, we got half baked in our pods because of the Gith attack. So now we are reduced in terms of our abilities. Our tadpole is attempting to do in our dreams what it would have been doing to us in the pod had the attack not happened. It would have been convincing us to embrace these new powers as a gift to be grateful for. A trusted lieutenant cannot be a mindless thrall, after all.
But maybe Tav is indeed just a random person who got the power-tadpole. It would destroy my theory tho! Lol
