Summary of Chapter Five

In Chapter Five of The Giver, Jonas shares a dream during his family's morning ritual. The dream, set in the House of the Old, involves Fiona. Jonas wants to bathe her, but she refuses.Jonas doesn't understand his feelings and feels slightly embarrassed recounting the dream.
Jonas' parents recognise the dream as a sign of "Stirrings," a biological change that happens to everyone.Jonas' mother reassures him that this is normal and gives him a pill to suppress the Stirrings.She explains that he will need to take the pill for his whole adult life until he enters the House of the Old.
Although Jonas is initially relieved to avoid special treatment, he fleetingly misses the pleasurable feelings from the dream.He tries to recall the dream but the Stirrings are gone.This chapter marks a turning point for Jonas, as it introduces the concept of Stirrings and the societal control over emotions and desires.
