Question

5. Why do you think Jonas is prohibited from dream-telling? Explain.

Answer 1

Jonas was asked to follow certain rules while he is a Receiver-in training.

EXPLANATION:

Jonas did not get any dreams usually. But, one dream he got at the previous night was quite embarrassing as he was asking Fiona to disrobe and get into the bathtub with him. She refused to do so in his dream.

Jonas was the Receiver of Memory for his community and he was very embarrassed because of this dream as the community is a highly structured in which they are not allowed to choose their partners and need to dress up properly.

Though Jonas's parents understood his desires but asked him to suppress them by taking a pill each day. Thus, he was asked not to share his dream.
