“Dreams may be more important than sleep. We all need dreams.” Some scientists say.

Dreams take up about one quarter of our sleeping time. People have several dreams each night. Dreams are like short films. They are usually in color. Some dreams are like old films. They come to us over again. That may be because the dreamer is worried about something. Dreaming may be a way of trying to find an answer.

Some people get new ideas about their work from dreams. They may think about their work all day. These ideas can carry over into dreams.

Sometimes we wake up with a good feeling from a dream. But often we can’t remember the dream. Dreams can go away quickly.

Too much dreaming can be harmful. The more we sleep, the longer we dream. The mind is hard at work when we dream. That is why we may have a long sleep and still wake up tired.

Where did you go during the summer holiday? You may have visited Tsinghua and Peking Universities(大学). And you weren't alone. This summer, lots of tourists travelled to these two universities. Tsinghua University opens to the public(公众)at 8:30 a.m., however, many people start to line up at 3-4 a.m., because people who come at 6 a.m. will be too late and can only enter in the afternoon. In fact, it's not only Chinese universities that are overcrowded(过度拥挤的)in summer. Cambridge and Oxford in the United Kingdom also come across the same problem. The road in front of King's College. Cambridge is usually filled with tourists, including Chinese schoolchildren in uniforms. Universities in the United States are also popular among Chinese tourists. Nine out of ten Chinese visitors to the US want to visit a university. So why do Chinese tourists have such a big love for famous universities? One reason is that many parents hope to get their children admitted to a top university in the future. Wang Sicong, 31, who comes from Xi'an, visited two famous US universities in 2014. "American universities are different from Chinese ones. There are no walls," he told The New York Times. "I am happy. I feel this urge(冲动)to have a free exchange of ideas with someone."
