Everything Is Illuminated Chapter 6 Summary

The Book of Recurrent Dreams, 1791

• The only plot-wise thing that happens in this chapter is that Yankel is told that he will be the father of the baby from the Brod.
• But there's also talk of The Book of Recurrent Dreams, where, well, people record their recurring dreams.
• Here's a sample:
  • The dream of sex without pain
  • The dream of angels dreaming of men
  • The dream of disembodied birds
  • The dream of perpetual motion
  • The dream of low windows
  • The dream of safety and peace
  • The dream of disembodied birds (we told you they were recurring)
  • The dream of meeting your younger self
  • The dream that we are our fathers
• What, no dreams that you're standing up naked in the middle of class?
