7.Dreams are expressions of thoughts,feelings and events that pass through our mind while we are sleeping.Everybody dreams.But only some people remember their dreams.Our dreams often include all the senses---smells,sounds,sights,tastes and things we touch.Sometimes we dream the same dream over and over again.
Early in the twentieth century,two famous scientists developed their personal ideas about dreams.Austrian psychiatrist (奥地利心理学家) Sigmund Freud wrote a book called"The Interpretation (诠释) of Dreams"in 1900.Freud believed people often dream about things they want but can't have.Swiss (瑞士) psychiatrist Carl Jung worked closely with Freud for several years,but he believed dreams could help people grow and understand themselves.He believed dreams provide solutionsto problems we face when we are awake.Today we know more about the science of dreaming because researchers can take pictures of people's brains while they are sleeping.
Other researchers are studying how dreaming helps our bodies work with problems and very sad emotions (感情).Robert Stickgold is a professor of psychiatry (心理学教授) at Harvard University in Massachusetts.Doctor Stickgold says that when we dream,the brain is trying to make sense of the world.He does not agree with Sigmund Freud that dreaming is the way we express our hidden feelings and desires (愿望).
Scientists believe it is important to keep researching dreams.Doctor Stickgold says it has been more than one hundred years since Sigmund Freud wrote his important book about dreaming.Yet there is still no agreement on exactly how the brain works when we are dreaming or why we dream.
