Most of their dreams involve sex and food but I don't think at the same time! Food is usually scarce and putrid at the front. I suppose sex would be non-existent. Soldiers wanting these things are nothing new; it has always been this way. Haie says that he wants to stay in the army because peacetime in the army isn't so bad. The others think he is crazy. Detering Simply wants to return to his farm. I suppose that these dreams tell us that the men are human beings. Their dreams and desires are no different from that of any man's, including the enemy.
