Dream on

Stacy Tyler had a problem. She wanted to go to college， but she was not sure where she wanted to go. She was confused （困惑的）. Did she want to go to college near her home and stay with her friends？ Or did she want to go to college in a different country and leave all her friends？ She thought about her problem every day. She thought about it every evening， too. One night， Stacy thought about her problem before she went to sleep. When she woke up the next morning， she knew the answer. She knew where she wanted to go to school. Stacy found the solution （解决办法） in her dreams.

Is this unusual？ Many doctors say “No.” Dr Gayle Delaney says that when we sleep， we can use our dreams to help us. Everyone has dreams every night. But sometimes we dont remember our dreams. Dr Delaney teaches people how to remember dreams. Then they can sometimes find answers to their problems. This is how to do it：

1. Choose a problem to dream about.

2. Write some sentences about your problem on a piece of paper and keep the paper by your bed.

3. Think about your problem as you fall asleep. Dont think about other things.

4. When you wake up， write your dream on a piece of paper.

5. Think about your dream very carefully. Try to understand your dream.

That night， Stacy dreamed she was in a strange room with other people. All the other people spoke different languages， but Stacy wasnt afraid. She was very excited and happy to be in a new place with new people. After this dream， Stacy knew what to do. What do you think she did？
