Mr. Hojo often cries out in his sleep.
He won't tell me much, but it seems like he has a recurring dream, about a ceremony from his childhood.
As a young boy, Mr. Hojo said he spent a summer with relatives at the base of Mt. Kagiroi.
He's mentioned playing in an old house and in a shrine on the mountain, and some kind of festival he went to. Mr. Hojo doesn't talk about his past much, so what he has told me I remember clearly.
Is he dreaming of that ceremony? I went to festivals as a child, but all I remember is having a good time.
It doesn't sound like the festival Mr. Hojo dreams about is any fun.
He often cries "Don't look at me!" in his sleep.
He's always had a hard time with people staring at him. He especially dislikes it when women look at him for too long.
He won't even look Ms. Kurosawa or Miss Kozukata in the eye sometimes.
He doesn't have that issue with me, though.
Are the women he's dreaming about really that frightening?

先生はよく夢でうなされている。
あまり話してくれないが、
昔からずっと見ている、子供のころの
祭の夢らしい。
先生は子供のころ、夏の間は
陽炎山（かぎろいやま）の麓の
親戚の家で過ごしたと言っていた。
古い母屋や山の神社で遊んだり、
祭にも行ったことがあると何かの折に
話してくれた。
先生が子供のころの話をするのは
珍しかったので、よく憶えている。
そのときの祭の夢なのだろうか。
私も子供のころに祭に行ったことはある
けど、楽しい雰囲気しか憶えていない。
でも、先生の見る祭の夢は
楽しいものではないようだ。
いつも「見るな」と、うなされている。
確かに、先生はじっと見られることが苦手だ。
とりわけ、女性に見つめられることを
避けている。
黒澤さんや不来方さんと話す時ですら、
たまに目をそらしている。
私の時は、大丈夫なんだけど。
夢で先生を見た女性が
そんなに怖かったのだろうか？
