相信我,你的夢境不僅僅是夢(有聲閱讀)

Host: Why did you decide to pick up the story on dreams?

Julie Bain: Well, dreams are fascinating, and the thing is most people don't pay any attention to them. And dreams have a lot to offer.

Host: How do you train your mind to Remember it the next morning?

Gayle Delaney: Just keep a note pad by your bed before you go to sleep.

Host: So you don't train yourself, you just write it down?

Gayle: Just write it down. When you wake up, whatever's in your mind, write it down because you're problem solving. Every night in your sleep, you're looking at your relationships, your work issues, and your self-esteem. So it makes senseto write down whatever's there and then learn how to interpret your dreams.

主持人：你爲什麼決定研究夢？

朱莉·貝恩：嗯，夢令人着迷，問題是大多數人都不會注意它。夢可以反映很多問題。

主持人：怎樣訓練自己的大腦在第二天早上記住昨晚的夢呢？

蓋爾·德萊尼：睡覺前在牀邊放一個筆記本。

主持人：所以你不需要訓練自己，只要把夢記下來就行了？

蓋爾：只要記下來就行了。你醒來時，不管你腦海中記得什麼，寫下來，因爲你在解決問題。每晚在睡夢中，你都在審視你的人際關係、工作問題和自尊心。所以，明智的做法是：不管記得什麼，先記錄下來，然後學習怎樣解夢。

Host: Why do we dream in the first place?

Gayle: We dream for many reasons. We dream to incorporate new learning. We dream to calm down our feelings and our upsets. But we also dream to understand our lives better. What are we really like when we're not so defensive? And our dreams show us "Look here!You're having a fi ght with your husband." You're the one who's doing something really stupid. Sometimes your dreams will tell you that, and that’s more useful information than ever being right with your husband.

Host: So Julie, to that point then, we really should pay close attention to our dreams because it may enlighten us on what's down the road or what we're dealing with immediately.

Julie: Well, and what people say is that you can train yourself to remember your dreams. You can even train yourself to go back to them and follow up, ya know, and it's all that stu that'sburied in you that  nds ways of bubbling up in your dreams...

主持人：我們到底爲什麼做夢？

蓋爾：我們做夢的緣由有很多。我們做夢以吸收新知識，我們做夢以平穩情緒、緩解不安。我們做夢還可以更好地瞭解我們的生活。當我們卸下一些防備時，我們到底是什麼樣？我們的夢告訴我們，“看！你和你的丈夫吵架了。”你是那個正在做一些非常愚蠢的事情的人。有時候你的夢會告訴你這一點，而那是比跟你的丈夫和好如初更有用的信息。

主持人：朱莉，說到這一點，我們真的應該密切關注我們的夢，因爲它可能會啓示我們將來會發生什麼，或者我們應該馬上處理什麼問題。

朱莉：嗯，據說你可以訓練自己記住所做的夢。你甚至可以訓練自己重新回到那個夢，繼續那個夢境。你知道，那些都是埋藏在你身體裏的東西，以某些情境在你的夢裏冒了出來……

Gayle: And not only that, you can ask for a problem to be solved in your sleep. Incubate a dream. Tonight you've got a problem with your sister. What's really going on between me and my sister? You write that down and you will have a dream on it that night.

Host: I want to break it down to some of the dream scenarios that are common, that people talk about all the time. Flying. What does that mean?

Julie: They say it's when you feel exuberant and your self-esteem is up...

Host: Really?

Julie: ... you feel in control.

Host: Now what about chased, being chased? That can't be a good thing, is it?

Gayle: Hardly ever, because you're terrified and you're afraid you're not gonna survive. So you have to in and out, who's the aggressor? What do you feel like in your dream? And if what you're feeling like is this person's overwhelming me, terrifying me, see what you can fi nd out about who is this guy following you, and is there anything in your life that's like that? What are you running away from?

蓋爾：還不止這些， 你可以要求在睡夢中解決一個問題。醞釀出一個夢。比如今晚你跟你的妹妹產生了矛盾，“我和我的妹妹之間到底發生了什麼？”你把它寫下來，那晚你就會做一個有關這件事的夢。主持人：我想打斷一下，談談一些人們經常談到的非常常見的夢境。飛翔，這個夢境是什麼意思？朱莉：據說當你覺得高興，你的自尊心提高……

主持人：真的嗎？朱莉：……你感到自己控制着一切時（你會做這樣的夢）。

主持人：夢到追逐……被人追是什麼意思？那不可能是好徵兆，對嗎？蓋爾：基本上不是，因爲你會害怕，你害怕你會無法倖免。所以你要找出誰是那個攻擊者？你在夢中的感覺是什麼？如果你的感覺是這個人壓制着你，讓你感到害怕，看看找出這個追你的人你能發現什麼，你的生活中曾發生過類似的事嗎？你要逃離什麼？

Host: What if it's someone you don't recognize? 'Cause I've had dreams about people I've never seen!

Julie: You know what I learned about this is that it might be a partof yourself that you're running away from, and it's really important to look inside and think "What could that be that I'm trying to get away from?"

Gayle: And especially if the person chasing you is a different sex...

Host: Uh-huh...

Gayle: there some part of yourself that acts like that person that you're not aware of, and you're running away from your own smoking, your own addiction?

Host: This is deep. We need to sit in – we need to have a long talk. Now I'm going to ask you about the dream of missed exam, or missed appointment. A lot of people have that. Even when they don't have an appointment or an exam!

Gayle: Remember, dreams are metaphors.

主持人：如果是你不認識的某個人呢？因爲我的夢裏出現過我從來沒見過的人！

朱莉：你知道，據我瞭解，這可能是你想要逃避你自身的一部分，內省並想想“我試圖逃避的是什麼？”真的很重要。

蓋爾：特別是如果這個追你的人是異性……

主持人：嗯哼……

蓋爾：……是你的某一部分表現得像那個你不認識的人？你在逃避抽菸，你的煙癮？

主持人：這學問太深了。我們需要坐下來，我們需要好好談談。現在我要問一下夢見錯過考試或錯過約會是什麼意思。很多人都會做這樣的夢，即使是在他們沒有約會或考試的時候！

蓋爾：記住，夢是隱喻。

Host: OK...

Gayle: It's not that you're actually having an exam tomorrow, but something going on in your life right now, your relationships, your work pressures, are like "Oh, there I am, back in high school or in college, taking an exam and I'm not even prepared for it." What are you doing in your life that you're so overscheduled that you're not prepared for things? Or, are you forgetting to prepare for something you know is coming up and you're just putting it off?

Host: OK, and the last one I've got to ask you about…huh…the dream of being naked. There's a whole lot of people who feeexposed...

Julie: ... vulnerable...

Host: So that seems pretty obvious!

Gayle: It's obvious, but you have to say "Relate it to my life. How in my life do I feel like that? Do I feel that way in my relationship? At work? Do I feel that I’ve said too much? Am I vulnerable?" And that's very helpful to know and be aware of so you don't keep making those same mistakes.

主持人：嗯……

蓋爾：實際上，不是你明天有考試，而是你現在的生活中發生的一些事，比如人際關係、工作壓力，讓你覺得就像“噢，我回到了中學或大學，要參加一場考試，我甚至都沒有準備。” 你的生活中有什麼事情如此倉促讓你沒有準備？或者，你是不是忘了準備某件事，延誤了做某事？

主持人：好的，我最後想問你的是…… 呃……夢見裸露。許多人感到自己被曝光……

朱莉：……易受傷……

主持人：看起來非常明顯！

蓋爾：非常明顯，但你得說“將它和我的生活聯繫起來，我在生活中是怎樣一種感覺？在我的人際交往中我有那種感覺嗎？在工作中我有那種感覺嗎？我說得太多嗎？我敏感嗎？”瞭解這些非常有用，意識到這些可以讓你不犯相同的錯誤。
