后来，尼玛告诉我们，他的一个朋友的儿子十岁，恐怖地唤醒了他的父母，告诉他们他一直在做一个“非法梦”。他一直在梦见自己和一些亲吻的男人和女人一起在海边，他不知道该怎么办。他一直向父母重复，说他有非法的梦想。
(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.)
在阿扎尔·纳菲西（Azar Nafisi）的回忆录中，她讲述了一个来自她故事的角色尼玛（Nima）的轶事，讲述了一个十岁的男孩经历了一个令人不安的梦想。孩子觉得父母陷入困境，遇到了他梦想中的内容，他目睹了在海边表现出感情的成年人。这个“非法梦”的概念展示了社会限制对年轻人的影响，强调了童年时期与强加的道德准则的纯真。
男孩反复断言“非法梦”强调了一个严格调节个人表达和行为的社会中个人所感受到的。通过这一事件，纳菲西有效地说明了生活在这种约束下的心理影响，激发了人们对社会经常寻求控制的人类情感和互动的自然倾向的想法。
