When We Are Asleep

Everyone dreams,but some people never recall their dreams,or do so very rarely.
Other people always wake up with vivid recollections（记忆）of their dreams, though they
forget them very quickly.In an average night of eight hours' sleep,an average adult will
dream for around one hundred minutes,probably having three to five dreams,each lasting
from ten to thirty minutes.
Scientists can detect when someone is having a dream by using an instrument which
measures the electrical waves in the brain.During dreaming,these waves move more
quickly.Breathing and pulse rate also increase,and there are rapid eye movements under
the lids，just as though the dreamer were really looking at moving objects.These signs of
dreaming have been detected in all mammals（哺乳动物）studied, including dogs,
monkeys, cats, and elephants, and also some birds and reptiles（爬行动物）.This period
of sleep is called the"D"state.Babies experience the"D"state for around 50%of their
sleep;the period reduces to around 25%by the age of 10.
Dreams take the form of stories,but they may be strange and with incidents not
connected,which make little sense.Dreams are seldom without people in them and they
are usually about people we know.One estimate says that two-thirds of the"cast"of our
dream dramas are friends and relations.Vision seems an essential part of dreams,except
for people blind from birth.Sound and touch are senses also often aroused,but smell and
taste are not frequently involved.In"normal"dreams,the dreamer may be taking part,or
be only an observer. But he or she cannot control what happens in the dream.
However,the dreamer does have control over one type of dream.This type of dream is
called a "lucid"（清醒的）dream. Not everyone is a lucid dreamer. Some people are
occasional lucid dreamers.Others can dream lucidly more or less all the time.In a lucid
dream,the dreamer knows that he is dreaming.

In a lucid dream we can use Morse code to communicate with others.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned

资料：Dream is a story that a person watches or even takes part in during sleep. Dream events are imaginary, but they are related to real experiences and needs in the dreamer's life. They seem real while they are takingplace. Some dreams are pleasant, others are annoying, and still others are frightening. Everyone dreams, but some persons never recall dreaming. Others remember only a little about a dream they had just before awakening and nothing about earlier dreams. No one recalls all his dreams.
Dreams involve little logical thought. In most dreams, the dreamer cannot control what happens to him. The story may be confusing, and things happen that would not happen in real life. People see in most dreams, but they may also hear, smell, touch, and taste in their dreams. Most dreams occur in color. But persons who have been blind since birth do not see at all in dreams.
Dreams are a product of the sleeper's mind. They include events and feelings that he has experienced. Most dreams are related to events of the day before the dream and strong wishes of the dreamer. Many minor incidents of the hours before sleep appear in dreams. Deep wishes or fears-especially those held since childhood-often appear in dream. and many dreams fulfil such wishes. Events in the sleeper's surrounding-a loud noise, for example, may become part of a dream, but they do not cause dreams.
Some dreams involve deep feeling that a person may realize he has. Psychiatrists often use material from a patient’s dreams to help the person understand himself better.
Dreaming may help maintain good learning ability, memory, and emotional adjustment. People who get plenty of sleep-but are awakened each time they begin to dream-become anxious and restless.

This passage suggests that psychiatrists are______.

A.help the person understand himself better
B.studying the benefits of dreams
C.trying to make the sleeper dream logically
D.trying to help the dreamer recall his earlier dreams

Common Questions about Dreams
Does everyone dream ?
Yes. Research shows that we all dream. We have our most vivid dreams during a type of sleep called Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep. During REM sleep, the brain is very active. The eyes move quickly back and forth under the lids, and the large muscles of the body are relaxed. REM sleep occurs every 90-100 minutes, three to four times a night, and it lasts longer as the night goes on. ___1___ We dream at other times during the night, too, but those dreams are less vivid.
Do people remember their dreams ?
A few people remember their dreams. However, most people forget nearly everything that happened during the night — dreams, thoughts, and the short periods of time when they were awake. ___2___ It seems that the memory of the dream is not totally lost, but for some reason it is very hard to bring it back. If you want to remember your dream，the best thing to do is to write it down as soon as you wake up.
Are dreams in color ?
Most dreams are in color. However, people may not be aware of it for two reasons ： They don’t usually remember the details of their dreams, or they don’t notice the color because it is such a natural part of our lives. ___3___
Do dreams have meaning ?
Scientists continue to debate this issue. ___4___ Some people use dreams to help them learn more about their feelings, thoughts, behavior, motives, and values. Others find that dreams can help them solve problems. It’s also true that artists, writers, and scientists often get creative ideas from dreams.
How can I learn to understand my dreams ?
The most important thing to remember is that your dreams are personal. The people, actions, and situations in your dreams reflect your experience, your thoughts, and your feelings. Some dream experts believe that there are certain types of dreams that many people have，even if they come from different cultures or time periods. Usually, however, the same dream will have different meanings for different people. For example, an elephant in a dream may mean one thing to a zookeeper and something very different to a child whose favorite toy is a stuffed elephant. ___5___ Then look for links between your dreams and what is happening in your daily life. If you think hard and you are patient, perhaps the meaning of your dreams will become clearer to you.
词汇：
vivid /'vivid/ adj. 清晰的，生动的，逼真的
lid /lid/ n. 眼睑（=eyelid)
motive /m utiv/ n. 动机
stuffed /st ft/ adj. 填充的，塞满了的
注释：
1. back and forth：来回地，反复地。
2. bring it back：回忆起它来。bring back：使回忆起来，带回来、拿回来，使恢复。
3. Scientists continue to debate this issue. 科学家们不断地讨论这个问题。“debate”作动词“争 论，辩论，讨论”讲，既可以是不及物动词也可以是及物动词，作不及物动词时常与 “about/ on/upon” 搭配。
练习：
A However, people who spend time thinking about their dreams believe that they are meaningful and useful.
B The final REM period may last as long as 45 minutes.
C People who are very aware of color when they are awake probably notice color more often in their dreams.
D Our most powerful dreams don’t happen during deep sleep.
E To learn to understand your dreams, think about what each part of the dream means to you or reminds you of.
F Sometimes, though, people suddenly remember a dream later in the day or on another day.

What Is a Dream?
　　For centuries, people have wondered about the strange things that they dream about. Some psychologists say that this nighttime activity of the mind has no special meaning. Others, however, think that dreams are an important part of our lives. In fact, many experts believe that dreams can tell us about a person's mind and emotions.
　　Before modern times, many people thought that dreams contained messages from God. _____(46)
　　The Austrian psychologist, Sigmund Freud, was probably the first person to study dreams scientifically. In his famous book, The interpretation of Dreams (1900), Freud wrote that dreams are an expression of a person's wishes. He believed that dreams allow people to express the feelings, thoughts, and fears that they are afraid to express in real life.
　　The Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung was once a student of Freud's. Jung, however, had a different idea about dreams. Jung believed that the purpose of a dream was to communicate a message to the dreamer._____(47)For example, people who dream about falling may learn that they have too high an opinion of themselves. On the other hand, people who dream about being heroes may learn that they think too little of themselves.
　　Modern-day psychologists continue to develop theories about dreams. For example, psychologist William Domhoff from the University of California, Santa Cruz, believes that dreams are tightly linked to a person's daily life, thoughts, and behavior. _____(48)
　　Domhoff believes that there is a connection between dreams and age. His research shows that children do not dream as much as adults. According to Domhoff, dreaming is a mental skill that needs time to develop.
　　He has also found a link between dreams and gender. His studies show that the dreams of men and women are different. _____(49)This is not true of women's dreams. Domhoff found this gender difference in the dreams of people from 11 cultures around the world, including both modern and traditional ones.
　　Can dreams help us understand ourselves? Psychologists continue to try to answer this question in different ways._____(50)The dream may have meaning, but it does not mean that some terrible event will actually take place. It's important to remember that the world of dreams is not the real world.
文章(46~50)
