Early this month, on the Egyptian-Israeli border not far from her hometown, a series of bombings killed 35 people and injured more than 160. Despite the attack, life quickly returned to normal. Living under the threat of attack is normal here.
Israel teenagers’ interests are not very different from others’. “Low-cut jeans（低腰牛仔裤）and miniskirts are very in,”said Hinanit, an 18-year-old teenager.
“You cannot let the fighting control what you do and don’t do. Of course I am scared sometimes, but I still go out and have fun. Yon always have to be careful, and things are probably more dangerous now, but I still love Israel. It is my home, and I would not leave it for anything!” Cohen said.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the Gaza Strip, a Palestinian boy named Bilal lies in a hospital bed, with his friends round, praying for his life. He has been in a coma（昏迷）since Israeli soldiers shot him on his way to school last month. In this recent military action, Israeli soldiers have killed at least 83 Palestinians, including 24 children.
Palestinian children lead a dangerous life under the watchful eyes of Israeli soldiers. Israel presents them as terrorists（恐怖分子）and faceless stone throwers. Many Palestinian children have been driven away from homes into crowded and hungry refugee camps with their families. “Even if we are surrounded by Israeli soldiers and have no food, we will stand and defend our country,” said Fatima Al-Aidi，a 13-year-old teenager, who lost a friend in Israel’s recent attack. “I hope to carry a lot of weapons and take my revenge（报复）one day. I hope the day comes when the enemy leaves Palestine.”

Let us begin by saying what does not cause our dreams．Our dreams do not come from “another world”．They are not messages from outside source．They are not a look into the future, either．

All our dreams have something to do with our feelings, fear, longings, wishes, needs and memories．If a person is hungry, or tired, or cold his dreams may include a feeling of this kind．If the covers on your body, such as a quilt or a blanket have slipped off your bed, you may dream that you are sleeping on the ice or snow．The material for the dream you will have tonight is likely to come from the experiences you have today．

So the subject of your dream usually comes from something that has effect on you while you are sleeping (feeling of cold, a noise, a discomfort, etc)and it may also use your past experiences and the wishes and interests you have now．This is why very young children are likely to d ream of fairies, older children of school examinations, hungry people of food, home-sick soldiers of their families, and prisoners of freedom．

To show you how that is happening while you are asleep and how your wishes and needs can all be joined together in a dream, here is a story of an experiment．A man was asleep and the back of his hand was rubbed with absorbent cotton．He would dream that he was in a hospital and his charming girl friend was visiting him, sitting on the bed and feeling his hands!

There are some scientists who have a special study of why we dream, what we dream and what those dreams mean．Their explanation of dreams, though a bit reasonable, is not accepted by everyone, but it offers an interesting way of dealing with the problem．They believe that dreams are mostly expressions of wishes that did not come true．In other words, a dream is a way of having your wishes carried out.
