Dream M2 Pack

Hi there !
As the leader of the english class, I'm glad to introduce the topic of the week... Dream.
It can be the dream of what you want to realize in your life or you can talk of your nights dream if you remember it !

I, for my part, am not really good to tell about my nights dream because most of the time I don't remember them and for those I remember there are absolutely not interesting. So I will tell you what I was dreaming about when I was a child and how it changed until nowadays.
When I was child (and naive) I wanted to be a red hair singer (don't ask me why..).
Then when I was a teenager I wanted to be a sport teacher because I was in a sport section in high school and my mother (she is a teacher) always said to me that teacher is such a good job, because you have a lot of holidays blabla. But then when I came to the Sport University of Poitiers I met a lot of stupid people in STAPS so I was very disappointed and I didn't want to be a sport teacher at least. From that time to today I don't had a dream in particular (I was and I AM so lost), I just want to be happy in my future work (if I can found one), travel as often as I can and preserve the freedom I have in my life

What about youuuu ?

Hi,
Like Clémence, most of the time I don't remember my dreams and those I remember are so horribles.....one time I dreamt that I killed all my lovely family : my dear mother with a hammer, my sweetie sister with a pillow and my wonderful brother with my car.......
The other time, when I was 6 years old, I dreamt that my grand-ma abandoned me in a very dark forest with lots of big trees...a very ugly man (with no hair) wanted to burst my precious eyes and pursue me with his raptor.....so frightening......

In the same idea like Clémence :
When I was child, I wanted to breed yellow duck with big paw in a farm in French Basque country.
When I was a teenager I wanted to be a airline pilot on Air France airline. Lots of travels, countries,....so wonderful....I tried to do the BIA, "Brevet Initiation à l'Aéronautique"...but it was a disaster......
Then, I wanted to be a doctor like my sweetie mommy.... and .....I tried to do medical studies....but it was a disaster...
And so, I did .... applied art !!

In fact, my only dream is that people are happy,....happy.....and.....happy !!!

Hi ! As far as I can remember, I only remember portions of my oldest dreams, which makes me even more unconfortable to this day. I do not dream that much, but when I do, I am in a really realistic place, school, company, bank, postal office, dealing with a situation that is likely to happen or that I am concerned about. Like I am trying to visualize a near future. When I wake up, I have the feeling that it will happen in real life. You have to know that I often experience Déjà Vu effect, probably because I need to sleep more. So I say to myself, there are good chances that I will experience my dream in real life, with that Déjà Vu effect. It surprises me when I feel the Déjà Vu effect, because I Always unconsciously think I dreamt it before.

Does this sometimes happen to one of you ?  

And as everybody I have dreams (good career, the best places to live on earth, exceptionnal people to live with…).

I can't wait to read your stories !
BBYE!

I dream a lot and remember most of my dreams. I've developed the great ability to direct where my dreams go, so usually they are wonderful.

Occasionally they aren't so great - my children or my dogs getting hurt for example - if that happens I try to wake myself up to end the dream and then return to sleep. When I'm in a heavy work period I dream of lesson planning and lessons going wrong - forgetting to wear clothes , not having a plan for a lesson (maybe you think I never do have but you are wrong) I don't really like these dreams.

My favourite dreams usually involve me flying - without any machine help - I always feel good and refreshed after I awak from a "flying dream" even if power cables and strong wind eddies can be a problem for landing.

Dreams for life - I guess it's a bit late now. I want to retire to a town by the sea with a seaview (a lot like soulac) but where the temperature is constantly around 20° -25° all year round. I'd like to have the time to write more books and read a lot more and .... that's enough from me I think.

Me too, when I am in exam period or work period, I dream that I forgot to give back the work (non-returned homework)or that I miss the test because I was spleeping...it's a disaster, all take a very big proportion!!! And I cry like a baby because my studies is all I have.
This night I dreamt that I failed my master 2, because I didn't arrive to write the final year dissertation.....

I have a question Mister Admin, are you a writer ?

I don't really know what to say about it, because I almost never remember my dreams.
Some experts will say it may be because I sleep well, why not?
When I remember my dream, it's often a bad sign: murder, death, illness ... I can also feel like falling and waking up. Apparently, it's a dream that a lot of people do. This corresponds to the moment when one falls asleep very quickly, which is often painful. Some specialists try to explain our dreams and here is the explanation of this last one "The fall is a descent to the unconscious, one falls inside oneself and what our spirit hides to us."
I don't know if that helps me understand it ...

In contrast, I have some dreams for my life. Even if it is not really precise I would like to have a job in which I would be fulfilled. A small long-haired cat. And many travel.

Hello there,
Like most of you said, I don't remember my dreams either most of the time. I remember just a few, like some good dreams and nightmares I did a long time ago ; like I dreamt I had a big chest filled with candies and toys and then when I woke up the chest weren’t there anymore and I was so disappointed it wasn't there anymore. And about the other dreams I do and remember a little bit, they’re about everyday life or about bad and sad things: people dying, accidents or someone is pursuing me through a dark forest to kill me and I’m running completely scared until I wake up… Released. Not very cool for a good night of sleep. So maybe it’s not that bad not remembering our dreams. Concerning the dreams I have for my future life I don’t really have any. When I was a child I was dreaming about being an archaeologist so I could travel all the time and discover wonderful things but as you can see I did not make my dream come true haha.
Have a nice day, bye.

The long haired cat is a definite possibility.

Heyy !
Concerning my dreams, I am the total opposite of all of you ! I remember really often my dreams, and with a lot of details. Most of the time they are so weird, and really funny. Sometimes I know that I'm dreaming, for example one time I tried to write something in one of my dreams, but as you maybe know, it's impossible to write or read in a dream. So in that dream I was trying hard to write something and I was thinking "come on why is it impossible to write in dreams, I really need to write this".
Sometimes I do very realistic dreams, and I woke up thinking I'm still inside, and there is someone in my room, or there are some spiders on my bed (I woke up at least 4 times dreaming spiders were falling over my bed and each time before switching on the light I was sure it was real). Usually when I'm awake but still dreaming it's because it's a nightmare..
But when it's only dreams I really like to remember them, and to explain them to my friends !

When I was younger I changed a lot of career dreams. One day I wanted to be a scientist, another one an archeologist, or an hairstylist. Now I don't really know except that I want to have a great job in something I like, and to earn enough money to travel as more as possible, as almost everyone here as I can read ! I also want to have my own home that I could decorate by myself because I really enjoy to buy decorations, plants, and furniture for the house.

Hello everybody !

I have some Deja Vu after a dream. It's because I think about the situation I will live and I have a realistic dream about it. Dreams are your memories, your planifications mixed to your fears. So I think it is very easy to have a nightmare. Maybe we need to believe more in our real dream to have sweet dream.
Easy to say but difficult to do !

John you said "I've developed the great ability to direct where my dreams go, so usually they are wonderful" and me too. It happens because I think about a thing to dream before to sleep and it works. It is not really original since I am young it is about I have a big house, swimming pool, large dressing room with a lot of shoes.
Sometimes I can said to people in my dreams that there are in my dream and I can change situation during a nightmare...but not yersterday night.
My favorite dream is also flying dream and I show my skills at everybody and I escape of the world to travel in the sky above the city and countryside.

About my dreams in life, when I was young I would like to be a actress because play a role in a spectacle was always fun. After I changed a lot of ideas, I was planning to be a draftman of Manga or a manager of top model (booker).
Since the high school, I wanted to be a designer. Art for me was the way for a perfect job but not realistic. So I was lost between find a job to earn monney or take risk. ..and know I hope to find a job close to creation as a product development manager.

My ultime dream not about work but life is to make people happy, I think it's the best feeling you can have !!
(and no it is not only a dream of a Miss France^^)

Hello everyone,

Since we didn't specify what kind of dreams we're talking about, i'll try to cover most of them, or at least those i know of.

The first thing that could be considered weird or different when it comes to how i see dreams (sleeping dreams) is that i'd much rather have a nightmare than a nice, happy dream, the reason for that is waking up, when you're having a nice dream, it's all fun and games, until you wake up and realize that all of that was just a "dream", it doesn't necessarily mean that reality is bad but it's never as good as the dream that you were having or else it wouldn't be called a "nice dream". in the other hand, when you're having a nightmare, the experience itself is not very pleasant, but the moment you wake and realize that none of that was real, you feel relieved and even happy, so in my case :
- good dream = disappointment
- nightmare = relief


When it comes the "life" dreams, i try to give them as little thought as possible, which is easier said than done. there are few reasons for that, one of them is that people in general don't really know what they want or more specifically what they need, we know what we think we want, we could be right sometimes, but it is still a gamble if you ask me. the other is that when you obsess about something you want, you overhype it, you get your expectations so high that they're not realistic anymore, which makes that moment of success or the moment you reach that dream a bit disappointing, not because it is not good per se, but just because they are not as good as the image you made of them.

And to finish, how about we get a little bit philosophical? what is a dream ? why do you think we dream ? and maybe to go little bit deeper couldn't dreams be "another reality" or reality "another dream" ?
Here is a story by Zhuangzi to further clarify my question:

"Once upon a time, I, Zhuangzi, dreamt I was a butterfly, fluttering higher and higher, to all intents and purposes a butterfly. I was conscious only of my happiness as a butterfly, unaware that I was Zhuangzi. Soon I awakened, and there I was, veritably myself again. Now I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly, dreaming I am a man."

Which is the dream and which is the reality? Maybe they are both dreams or both reality.

I've heard it said that being in my class is like a dream.

Can't really answer that question, any guess is a possibility.

I've got trusted sources who told me that the rumor you've heard is true. It's classified info btw.

Hi,

Like most of you, I do not remember all my dreams. However, when I remember, they are often nightmares, or where dreams are very very realistic, which is pretty scary. Because when I wake up I wonder if it could have happened.

As well, dreams are also the things we imagine and want. For example, like Clémence or Marion, when I was young I dreamed of exercising a atypic profession. I dreamed of becoming a member of GIGN (intervention group of the National Gendarmerie), of course it will remain a dream girl.

But we can also wonder if dreams are not made to be realized or to just remain dreams?
I explain me, when I was young, I Dreamed of going to Cuba, and I think myself that today it's not so complicated to realize as a dream. What do youu think ?

Have a good week !

Hi !

I’m surprise to see that you don’t remember yours dreams (for the majority). Generally, I dream very often and I remember of every dream all my nights and it’s very boring…

Before, I didn’t understand because I didn’t sleep well, and today I know that make some dreams not favorize a good sleep… Brief.
My dreams are totally strange, there is no coherence, suddenly they are not really interesting. But when I was a baby, I realized often nightmare and it was all the time the same. More precisely, there were two. The first was about clowns and the second was about hooded men. It was horrible and scary. All night I didn’t go to sleep because I said that my night will be horrible.

Today, it’s better… But I still hate clowns … and we are not coming in the right period … For me !

I think that all dreams have some meanings, on the personality or on that we feel, not you ?

Bye !

Hello !

Currently, I don't really remember my dreams, maybe it's because I sleep too well ! So, I can talk about my old dreams when I was young.

According to Carl Gustav Jung who publilshed "The Psychology of dreams", dreams are an open door to the conscious. The function of a dream is to re-establish our psychological equality and it contribute to the development of the identity.
Does it apply to you ? For me no

During elementary school I alaways made scary dreams. In all of them I was hunted by something that I can't see, in an empty area like a labyrinth undergroung (like hell !!!) or a neighbourhood without light except one street lamp on. I was always alone, running trough different obstacles and the worst thing is that it's repetitive dreams. So I don't know how to transcribe this phenomenon.

Well, have a nice week !

Hi everyone,

for my part, i had different dream all along my life who change over the
years

My first dream was to be a professional tennis player. I am a great fan of the legendary Roger Federer, and i always wanted to be as great as him. I started sport study during college so i had personnal schedule to have course and tennis training every day. I did this type of study during 4 years but i stopped because i was not enough talented to be a professional player..

My second dream, who is still my actual dream, is to be an electronic musician. i produce electronic music for a couple of years now, mainly techno and house music, and i always wanted to share my work. Next year, when i will finish my studies, i let me 1 year to become an artist et begin to live of my music. It is a complicated dream, but i will do all my possible to successed

hii,
as far as dreams are concerned, I remember them often, but that very morning. I once managed to control my dream, I realized that I was dreaming. I am really very strong.
For more dreams in general, it would be mostly simple dreams, having a job that I like, a family with a beautiful husband ehe and a beautiful house, an old house where I will work to make it to my taste.
I also dream to visit all the countries of the world, to be able to see very different landscapes, including the alley of baobabs in Madagascar.

I dream to stay all my life at the CEPE, because it's the best years of my life, I love you.

Hi everyone !!

Concerning my night dreams, I remember them when I wake up early and when I go back to sleep I don't remember them. Does this happen to you too ?

So, when I want to remember a dream I write a note on my cell phone when I wake up to remember all the details haha.

I think dreams is a very interesting subject,and when I was in high school (I was in literary section, so I had 9 hours of philosophy in a week haha) we studied the dreams interpretations by Freud and he thinks for example that dreams are related to repressed impulses like the murder, or sexual impulses...

Hey guys, nice to read all your comments!

I will tell you one of my dreams that I made this week. In fact, I applied for L'Oréal (for fun but with some hope...) some days ago and I was called back for an exploratory interview before possibly an invitation to the head office. The night after this first interview, I dreamed that I was invited to participate in the recruitment day. We were several around a table with plasticine and we had to draw the famous L'Oreal noodle. What is l'Oreal noodle ? It is a graphic element that can be found on the packagings of the brand Elsève from l'Oreal. Check the attachement! A few days before we had had a lesson with a former consultant from l'Oréal who told us the story of this noodle.

As I'm arrived in late to the selection day, I did not see the noodle model and of course I could not do it. I did not remember well. Nobody wanted to help me because we were all competing, much like in the "one hundred" series.

So I failed and the manager came to eliminate me. I found the situation so unfair, I do not play my professional life on plasticine ... I succeeded to convince them that I was better in marketing than in modeling clay and they kept me for the rest of the trials! and I woke up !




The reality is that I received a negative response following this phone conversation so I sleep well.
