The chapter captures Offred’s dreams. She has various dreams of things that would normally make her happy, but that joy is cut short with the self-realization that she is indeed dreaming. For instance, she dreams about being reunited her daughter, but she is later engulfed with sorrow knowing that it is not true. She wakes feeling dazed, wondering if she had been drugged, noticing small, odd things like during breakfast with thoughts of how a boiled egg can be beautiful in sunlight. There is an interruption, and Offred has to be taken to the birth of Ofwarren’s child. Along the way, she wonders if she will give birth to an Unbaby. There are various factors such as pollution which cause deformities in children. When the Birthmobile arrives at Ofwarren’s house, Offred speculates that the wives and birthmaids perceive the handmaids as nothing more than objects, unclean objects. The chapter concludes with a description of Janine’s condition after birth, a birth which has to be undertaken with no painkillers or interventions, replicating the conditions in the bible.
