Jonas dreamt that he was in the steamy bathing room at the House of the old, trying to convince his friend Fiona to take off her clothes and allow him to give her a bath. He remembers feeling a strong “wanting.”
Just as the family practices a telling of feelings at night, they tell their dreams in the morning. ... Jonas is pleased to have grown up enough to have to take the pills, but he tries to remember the dream—he liked the feelings it gave him. However, the pill works quickly, and the pleasures of the dream are gone.
