日有所思，也有所梦。基本上每个人每晚都会做梦，有些人甚至一晚上都梦个不停。一千个人有一千种梦，人们做的梦也就千奇百怪、无所不有。很多人都一直想弄明白：做的梦到底暗示着什么呢？

What do my dreams mean?

你的梦到底暗示了什么？

Today, dreaming is being studied even more than ever. Some say that dreams are how your receptors make sense of random thoughts while you sleep. Some say that you can't dream of a face you have never seen before, so everyone you see in your dreams you have at least laid eyes on at one time or another. 

Other people think dreams are ways of expressing stress or internal feelings you may be experiencing. A lot of people say that they have dreams about being chased. 

A common interpretation of the "being chased" dream is that you are feeling threatened. Some dream interpretation sites say you should try to reflect on what or who is chasing you to get a better idea of what is making you feel this way. 

Another dream that is often experienced is flying. This dream has a much more positive interpretation, which is that you are feeling free or have broken out of a bad situation such as a relationship turned sour* or a job you hate.

*turn sour: If a situation or relationship turns sour or goes sour, it stops being enjoyable or satisfactory. (状况、关系等)变坏，变糟，不再令人满意

Even the European dream is beginning to turn sour.

甚至连欧洲之梦都开始破灭了。

*sour(v) If a friendship, situation, or attitude sours or if something sours it, it becomes less friendly, enjoyable, or hopeful.(使)(友谊、局势、态度等)变坏;(使)恶化

If anything sours the relationship, it is likely to be real differences in their world-views...

如果有什么东西能够破坏这种关系的话，那可能就是他们世界观方面存在的实质性差异。

Unfortunately, if you even remember your dreams at all, you forget half of your dream within five minutes of waking up and within 10 minutes, you usually forget 90 percent of it. 

"Dreamologists," people who devote time to the study and interpretation of dreams, suggest if you want to try to remember and study your dreams you should keep a journal beside your bed and jot down what you dreamt as soon as you wake up so you can reflect on it later. 

*jot down: to write something quickly on a piece of paper so that you remember it 匆匆记下，草草记下 

I carry a notebook so that I can jot down any ideas. 

我随身带了个笔记本，这样可以把想法随手记下来。

That's exactly what I am going to do so I can keep track of what subconscious thoughts bubble up and find out what mysteries my brain may be unlocking while I sleep. 

*bubble up: （感情）变得越来越强烈 A feeling that is bubbling up inside you is growing stronger and stronger. 

She could feel the anger growing, bubbling up inside her.

她感到胸中的怒火不断往上蹿，正越烧越旺。
