Jonas dreams of the sled ride over and over all during the night, but he is not allowed to tell his dreams. It is a relief to him because there is no way to explain it to his family.
On his way to training, Jonas is with Fiona and something about her hair changes. Jonas asks The Giver about it. The Giver tests him and decides that it is the Capacity to See Beyond and that what Jonas sees is color! Specifically the color RED!
Jonas learns that years and years ago the community decided to get rid of color. The Giver tells him "we gained control of many things. But we had to let go of others." Jonas decides that the community "shouldn't have" gotten rid of the colors. The Giver is surprised at how fast he came to that conclusion. In the end he decides to give Jonas the memory of a RAINBOW!
