Dream Speaking Part 1 – Set 1
- Do you remember your dreams when you wake up?I dream a lot and I can often recall them quite vividly when I wake up, but they soon fade and even when I try to remember them, they’re gone. I get recurring dreams often about trying to do something but having difficulties doing it.
- Do you enjoy hearing about other people’s dreams?Sometimes they are interesting and usually quite funny, but I don’t like it when people tell me about their boring dreams in great detail. A friend of mine used to do that and I’d glaze over in no time.
- Would you like to study dreams in the future?Well, I think dreams are important for our well-being, but I don’t think they are prophetic or can be interpreted in very specific ways. I think that they are just your brain creating out all the junk that gone into it during the day.

Set 2
- How often do you dream?I have lots of vivid dreams, I think most nights. They are usually dreams that are about typical places and activities but really bizarre things happen. The most vivid dreams happen when I snooze after my alarm goes off in the morning.
- Do you remember your dreams in the morning?I usually do and I bore my flatmates with the details. Usually the memory fades quickly so I couldn’t tell you now what I dreamed about last night. Nightmares are usually the most memorable type of dream because they are stressful.
Set 2 Vocabulary
- snooze– sleep for a short time
- fades– disappears
Set 3
- Do you remember your dreams the next day?I do, sometimes. Especially if it’s a strange or scary dream. I don’t remember all of it but some parts stick with me14 for a while, as well as the feeling that comes with it right after I wake up.
- How frequently do you have dreams?I have dreams every once in a while, but not that often.
- Do you find dreams interesting?I do. I think that they can be very revealing sometimes. I have tried to keep a dream journal to try and interpret them, but because they are infrequent, I haven’t kept up with it.
- Do you think that some dreams are meaningful?Yes, sometimes the dreams I remember are about things that happened to me that day, or even a very long time ago, be they good or bad. It’s quite fascinating to see what subconscious thoughts are on our minds.
