Quote #8
He thought a lot about his dreams he'd been having, but still couldn't put enough together to truly understand what was going on. (49.3)
Thomas dreams all the time, but he still has trouble piecing all of those dreams together. His mind, his identity, and his reality are all a big, jumbled mess.
