The Meaning of Dreams

Sleep and dreams have interested people for centuries. Scientists are learning more about sleep, but they still know very little about why we dream.

【1】 First, we have most of our dreams during REM(rapid eye movement)sleep. At this time, the brain is very active. Second, everyone dreams, even if we can't remember doing so when we awaken. 【2】 While we are sleep, it works more slowly and sometimes puts our thoughts and memories together in strange ways.

【3】 . Some believe that our dreams are associated with thoughts and feelings that we experience while we are awake. Many dream researchers think that a dream about death, for example, is really about an important life change. 【4】 . Dreams about a car or travel often represent (代表) feelings about your own life. Dreams about teeth—especially broken or loose ones—may indicate（预示） stress or fear. Dreams in which you are flying often represent freedom or escape.

Researchers think people in our dreams can tell us something about ourselves. If the person in the dream was yelling, for example, maybe you are angry. 【5】 . There is still a lot about dreaming that we do not understand. By learning more about our dreams, we may learn more about ourselves.

A. Dreams may be more important than sleep.

B. Scientists do not know for certain why we dream.

C. If he or she was scared then maybe you are afraid of something.

D. Modern research can tell us some important things about dreams.

E. There are three things you should pay attention to have a sweet dream.

F. Finally, a part of our brain helps us to understand daily experience we have.

G. Dreams about telephones are thought to be about giving or receiving messages.

【5】C

【解析】

试题分析：本文属于科普说明文，介绍了科学家对于梦境的研究以及一些新的发现。

【1】D 根据本段第一句First, we have most of our dreams during REM(rapid eye movement)sleep.和第三句Second, everyone dreams, even if we can't remember doing so when we awaken.中的first, second可知本段讲述的是人们对于梦境的一些新的发现。故D项正确。

【2】F 根据第一句第一句First, we have most of our dreams during REM(rapid eye movement)sleep.和第三句Second, everyone dreams, even if we can't remember doing so when we awaken.可知上文提及了两个发现，该句是最后一个研究成果，故F项“Finally, a part of our brain helps us to understand daily experience we have.”符合上下文串联。

【3】B 根据横线后两句Some believe that our dreams are associated with thoughts and feelings that we experience while we are awake. Many dream researchers think that a dream about death, for example, is really about an important life change.一些人认为梦境与人们醒着时候的思想和感觉有关，还有人认为梦境可能与生活中的改变有关。这说明科学家对为什么会做梦还没有搞清楚。故B项正确。

【4】G 根据横线前半句a dream about death, for example, is really about an important life change.与死亡有关的梦事关生活中的重要改变。横线后一句Dreams about a car or travel often represent (代表) feelings about your own life.与汽车有关的梦代表了对自己生活的感觉。说明上下文在解释一些具体的梦境与什么有关，所以本句也应该是与之相关的内容。故G项“Dreams about telephones are thought to be about giving or receiving messages.”与上下文一致。

【5】C 根据本段第一句Researchers think people in our dreams can tell us something about ourselves.研究人员人们梦中的人会告诉我们一些关于我们自己的事情。再根据横线前一句“If the person in the dream was yelling, for example, maybe you are angry.如果梦中有人在大叫，也许你很生气。”说明横线句也应该是与之相似的内容，只有 C项“If he or she was scared then maybe you are afraid of something.”与之相似。
