"And when I was asleep I had one of my favorite dreams. Sometimes I have it during the day, but then it's a daydream. But I often have it at night as well" (198).
Living with any learning disability is always difficult and the struggles that certain kids have to deal with is overwhelming. Chris doesn't really enjoy the world he is living in and he is always looking for a way to escape. He can escape by dreaming this dream he repetitively has. Chris dreams about things that he would actually want to happen in real life. He dreams that he is the only one on earth and everyone else catches a virus. I really enjoyed this passage because not only does this passage refer to a physical dream, but it relates to a mental dream that Chris wishes was true. In other words, this dream is like Chris's "perfect world." I think we all have a "perfect world" and Chris's is so unique and shows the audience that he sees the world in such a different way, but not necessarily a strange view. Whenever Chris is feeling anxious, this dream seems to always calm him down and keep him positive/relaxed.
