梦是心灵的谈话
人类至今尚未开启通往梦的世界的大门。 尽管我们很多人意识到做梦的价值,希望了
解我们在梦中的活动, 但大多数人在睡眠中仍觉得像进入梦幻世界一样。有些人认为梦中的生活跟醒着的生活一样真实, 而且在积极寻找方法控制睡眠时的思维活动, 然而很少有人会将清醒时发生的事情跟梦中发生的事情联系在一起。 心理学家和心理玄学家在20 世纪90 年代普遍认为, 我们的梦境包含着日常生活的内容。 因此,学习记住并“挖掘”梦境是非常有用的。 纵观历史,土著居民们就曾特意集体漫游梦境以解决问题, 或根据部落所梦见的未来生活设定方向。 许多重要的科学发现就来源于梦境中发生的事件。

A Nightmare
I grew up in the country and life was hard at that time. I used to share a bed with my younger brother. We would often fight for space.
One night, I had a terrible dream. In the dream, our village was occupied by foreign invaders. The invaders were taking away property and children from households. They set houses on fire and killed anyone who did not obey them. I managed to hide in a pile of hay. I could hear my heart thumping when I saw some foreign soldiers coming toward our house. I couldn’t see them clearly because my eyes were covered with hay. I could hear them coming nearer and talking angrily. But I didn’t understand anything that they said. Just then, I realized that one of my arms was not fully covered. I wanted to hide it but I dared not move. Then one of the soldiers discovered me. I was almost scared to death. But still I didn’t move. Then I felt a severe pain on my left arm/ I was wounded by a soldier with a sword.
I woke up and realized that I had just had a nightmare. But my left arm was hurting. My brother’s leg had been pressing on my arm.
