Discuss how Lily's and Mother dreams reveal their feelings about the community's structure

Lily recounts a dream about breaking the rules and being caught and his mother recounts her own dream. After the family finishes discussing the possible significance of these dreams, Jonas begins retelling his dream. Lily and mother have simple, almost childish, dreams about breaking small rules. These are easily dealt with because they take little depth to understand. Jonas's dreams are far more complex because Jonas is naturally more evolved than the rest of his family.
