It is said that all dreams serve a purpose. While there is no agreement among scientists about why we dream, there are many ideas about the different kinds of dreams we have.

One common kind of dream is the repeating dream, in which the same story is repeated again and again, often for many months or even years. Some believe these are a sign people have a problem in their life and once that problem is gone then the dream will stop. Others think they are a way to help people remember something very important.

Another well-known kind of dream is the nightmare. The pictures and stories in such dreams make people very afraid and dreamers usually remember them far more clearly than normal dreams. The cause of such dreams may be seeing something terrifying such as a car accident or some deadly snakes. Others think such dreams may be trying to make a person pay attention to something that is dangerous in their life.

Daydreams happen during wake-time when we forget where we are or what we are doing and find ourselves in a made-up story or unreal world. We often daydream when we are doing something that is not interesting or exciting. They help us think about our future.

Lucid (神志清醒的) dreams are the most fun. These happen when dreamers suddenly understand that they are dreaming. Instead of waking up, they stay in the dream and are able to control what happens in the dream as if they are making a movie.

The story was a true one and still moved me deeply. Thirty years ago. I got to know a lady named Rose. She had no kids and lived alone. I went to visit her, I always took Rose some coffee and food. One day she said she me to have lunch.

We walked from my work place to a little restaurant on David Street. the way, I began to worry: I knew that she had no money, but if I offered to the lunch. I was afraid I would hurt her.

There were many people in the and all of them were happy. Rose told me to sit and drink coffee by the window. Then she went to in the kitchen. After about 20 minutes, she came out and sat with me. She just paid for one meal and we started to the delicious food together. She told that the restaurant let people work for a meal if they had no money, or would give them a free meal if they were not able to work. To my surprise, she also explained that the workers were working there were all volunteers.

I remember the beautiful afternoon I shared with Rose. we had a meal together only once, it was paid by Rose’s work. The weather was and bright, and everyone’s smile was warm and bright as well.

I’m still thinking that life cannot be easy to us, but we can still do for our friends and neighbors. The world will be if everybody would like to share happiness with others. It will never be dark if there is a light in everyone’s heart.
