Illegal Dreams

"Later, Nima told us that the son of one of his friends, a ten-year-old, had awakened his parents in horror telling them he had been having an 'illegal dream.' He had been dreaming that he was at the seaside with some men and women who were kissing, and he did not know what to do. He kept repeating to his parents that he was having illegal dreams."
