Mark and Jessie Hobson seem to be the perfect match, as they are trying to move on from the death of their own child Sean, who was the same age as Cody when he drowned in the bathtub. Cody is quiet, polite, and well-mannered, but he has a very special gift.When he sleeps, his dreams manifest in the real world.

 Adult Fear: Your child drowns accidentally in the bathtub, leaving you constantly wondering if there was something you could have done to prevent it. Your child is dangerous through absolutely no fault of his own, due to something he can't control—an extreme example of a "special needs" child.

 Asshole Victim: Tate is a jerk to Cody for no other reason than he looks like easy prey, so it feels more like sweet justice when the Canker Man gets him while Cody is napping in the classroom.

 Asleep in Class: Cody starts nodding off in class due to his efforts to stay awake. His teacher allows him to take a nap in a darkened classroom over lunchtime. This goes badly for Tate the bully.
