第8篇：What Is a Dream?(B級)
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 modem times, many people thought that dreams contained messages from God. It was only in the twentieth century that people started to study dreams in a scientific way.
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 expressions 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. He thought people could learn more about themselves by thinking about their dreams. 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.
Modem-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. A criminal, for example, might dream about crime.
Dornhoff 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. For example, the people in men's dreams are often other men, and the dreams often involve fighting. This is not true of women's dreams. 3 Domhoff found this gender difference in the dreams of people from 11 cultures around the world, including both modem and traditional ones.
Can dreams help us understand ourselves? Psychologists continue to try to answer this question in different ways. However, one thing they agree on this: If you dream that
something terrible is going to occur,you shouldn't panic. 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.

譯文：
什么是夢?
許多世紀以來，人們都對他們夢到的奇異事情感到疑惑。一些心理學家認為，這種大腦的夜間活動并沒有特殊含義。另一些人則認為，夢是生命中重要的一部分。實際上，許多專家認為，夢能揭示人的心理和情感活動。
近代以前，很多人認為夢傳遞的是上帝的信息。直到20世紀，人們才開始從科學的角度研究夢。奧地利心理學家西格蒙德·弗洛伊德或許是第一個用科學的方法研究夢的人。在他的著作《夢的解析》(1900)中，弗洛伊德寫道，夢是一個人愿望的表達。他認為夢打開了一扇窗，讓人們得以表達在生活中不敢表達的情感、思想和恐懼。
瑞士精神病學家卡爾·榮格曾是弗洛伊德的學生，但他對夢的看法與弗洛伊德不同。他認為，做夢的目的是要給做夢的人傳遞一種信息。而人們想想自已做的夢，便能對自己有一個更深刻的了解。比如，如果夢到從高處墜落，那么他應該反思自己是不是白視過高。反過來，如果夢中自己成了英雄，應該想想平時可能太看低自己了。
現代心理學家還在繼續發展關于夢的理論，來自位于圣克魯茲的加利福尼亞大學的威廉·多姆霍夫就是其中一位。他認為，夢境和一個人的日常生活、思想和行為都緊密相關，比方說，一個罪犯就可能夢到犯罪。
多姆霍夫還認為，夢和年齡也有關系。他的研究表明，孩子不像成人做夢做的那么多。他認為，做夢也是一項心理機能，也需要隨著年齡增長而發展。多姆霍夫還發現夢和性別之間的關系。通過研究，他發現男性和女性的夢境常常是不同的。例如，在男性夢境中出現的通常是其他男性，而且常與打斗有關，而女性的夢境則不是這樣。多姆霍夫通過研究包括來自現代文化以及傳統文化背景在內的11種不同文化背景的人群夢境中的性別差異得出了上述結論。
夢能幫助我們更好地理解自己嗎?心理學家還在嘗試通過不同方式來解答這個問題，不過，有一件事他們是意見一致的：如果你夢到有不好的事要發生，不要慌張。夢可能會有意義，但也不意味著你夢到的一些恐怖事情就一定會發生。要記住，夢中的世界并不是真實的世界。
