- One night, Anne wakes up everyone in the attic with her screams.
- She's had a nightmare about the Nazis coming to take her away.
- It seems totally normal to us that her fears would manifest in this way, but everyone in the attic short of her parents seems more than a little annoyed by this.
- Mr. Dussel even locks himself in the bathroom; he's so angry.
- We see Anne's parents concerned and helpless for their young daughter who has to deal with the ugly realities of war and death.
- They are afraid for her as well as for themselves.
- Anne's request for her father's comfort after the nightmare, rather than her mother's, provides more fuel for a conflict that appears to be escalating.
- Mrs. Frank's feelings are extremely hurt, and Anne knows this but can't figure out how to make things work with her mom.
