Reading 7A UNDERSTANDING DREAMS Did you have any interesting dreams last night? Our dreams come from a part of the brain that contains our thoughts and memories. A person can have up to six dreams a night. Each one usually lasts from 10 to 40 minutes. Everyone dreams, but not everyone remembers their dreams. Most people dream in color, usually with sound. And we usually dream about ourselves and the people we know. Why Do We Dream? Alan Siegel is a scientist who studies dreams. "[Dreams] can tell us a lot about ourselves," he says, "and can help us figure out problems." Another scientist, Robert Stickgold, thinks dreams come from our memories. Stickgold says that dreaming about past events is useful because it helps us learn from them. Here are a few types of dreams and what people think they mean. Dream 1: You Meet Someone While in Your Pajamas This dream may be the result of an embarrassing event in your life. Some people think we dream about embarrassing situations if our brains are trying to deal with an event in our own lives. Dream 2: You're Flying If you dream about flying, you are probably quite happy. This is a good period in your life. You may feel that other people see you as a leader. Dream 3: You Didn't Study for a Test This probably means you are worried about an important future event. If you haven't prepared for it, your dream may be telling you, "It's time to get to work!"

阅读7A 理解梦境 你昨晚做了什么有趣的梦吗？ 我们的梦来自大脑中包含我们思想和记忆的部分。 一个人每晚最多可以做六个梦。 每次通常持续10到40分钟。 每个人都有梦想，但不是每个人都记得自己的梦想。 大多数人做梦都是彩色的，通常伴随着声音。 我们通常会梦到自己和我们认识的人。 我们为什么做梦？ Alan Siegel是一位研究梦境的科学家。 他说：“（梦）可以告诉我们很多关于我们自己的事情，也可以帮助我们解决问题。” 另一位科学家罗伯特·斯蒂克戈尔德认为，梦来自我们的记忆。 Stickgold说，梦见过去的事件是有用的，因为它有助于我们从中学习。 以下是几种类型的梦以及人们认为它们的含义。 梦1：你穿着睡衣遇见某人 这个梦可能是你生活中一件尴尬事件的结果。 有些人认为我们梦到尴尬的情况 如果我们的大脑试图处理我们生活中的一件事。 梦想2：你在飞翔 如果你梦想着飞行，你可能会很开心。 这是你人生中的一个美好时期。 你可能会觉得别人把你看作一个领导者。 梦想3：你没有为考试而学习 这可能意味着你担心未来的一个重要事件。 如果你还没有做好准备，你的梦想可能会告诉你，“是时候开始工作了！”
