Topic: What do dreams mean?

Many people think dreams are full of messages that may not be clear to us common people. But if we think about what is going on in our lives, we can usually come up with an answer. Let’s look at some of the most common dreams. What do these dreams mean?

Falling

You’re falling, falling, falling… and then you wake up. This dream is said to mean you are afraid of something or worried about something. There may be something in your life that is out of control and there is nothing you can do to stop it. Another explanation is that you may fail in something. Maybe you’re not doing well in school or work.

Taking an exam  (or forgetting that you have one)

You suddenly realize you have to take an exam at that very moment. You might be running here and there to find your classroom. Experts say this dream may mean you’re being tested about something or maybe you are facing a challenge（挑战）.

Flying

Dreaming that you are flying means you are on top of things. You are in control of the things that matter to you. It may also mean you have confidence in yourself and think no one and nothing can beat you.

Trying to run, but going nowhere

You’re trying to run, but either your legs won’t move or you simply aren’t going anywhere. Some experts think this dream means you’re trying to do too many things at once and can’t catch up or move forward.

In fact, unlike these dreams, there are also many strange dreams that experts may not be able to explain.

Many students jumped up to   3 the teacher and left the classroom.  The teacher looked at the   4  students and said, “Does anyone else want to get a B? This is your last  5    . ” Two more students decided to go. Seven students remained.  The teacher then handed out the 6  .  There were only three sentences typed on the paper: Congratulations! You have just  7  an A in this class.  Keep believing in yourself.    

I never had a teacher like that, but I think it is a test  8  any teacher could and should give.  Students who are not   9  in what they have learned are B students at best(充其量). The same is  10   in real life.  The A students are those who believe in what they are doing because they have  11  both successes and failures. 

They have learned life’s lessons, either from normal education   12  from events in their lives, and have become   13  people.
