A robot never gets tired of doing the same thing.

Pleasant Dreams

　　Dreams(梦) may be more important than sleep. Some people don't need very much sleep. But we all need to dream, scientists( 科学家)say.

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

　　Some people get new ideas about their work from dreams.They could have been thinking about their work all day. These thoughts can carry over into dreams.

Sometimes we wake (醒) up with a good feeling from a dream. But often we can't remember the dream. Dreams can disappear(消失)quickly from memory.

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