When We Are Asleep
Everyone dreams,but some people never recall their dreams,or do sovery rarely. Other people always wake up with vivid recollections (记忆)of their dreams,though they forget them very quickly. In an averagenight of eight hours' sleep,an average adult will dream for around onehundred minutes,probably having three to five dreams,each lasting fromten to thirty minutes.
Scientists can detect when someone is having a dream by using aninstrument which measures the electrical waves in the brain. Duringdreaming, these waves move more quickly. Breathing and pulse rate alsoincrease,and there are rapid eye movements under the lids, just asthough the dreamer were really looking at moving objects. These signsof dreaming have been detected in all mammals (哺 乳动物) studied,including dogs, monkeys, cats, and elephants, and also some birds andreptiles (爬行动物). This period of sleep is called the "D" state foraround 50% of their sleep;the period reduces to around 25% by the ageof 10.
Dreams take the form of stories,but they may be strange and withincidents not connected,which make little sense. Dreams are seldomwithout people in them and they are usually about people we know. Oneestimate says that two-thirds of the "cast" of our dream dramas arefriends and relations. Vision seems an essential part of dreams,exceptfor people blind from birth. Sound and touch are senses also oftenaroused,but smell and taste are not frequently involved. In "normal"dreams,the dreamer may be taking part,or be only an observer. But he orshe cannot control what happens in the dream.
However, the dreamer does have control over one type of dream.This type of dream is called a "lucid"(清醒的) dream. Not everyone is alucid dreamer. Some people are occasional lucid dreamers. Others candream lucidly more or less all the time. In a lucid dream,the dreamerknows that he is dreaming.

Memory Test
1"I am going to give you five techniques that will enable you toremember anything you need to know at school," promised lecturer lanRobinson to a hundred schoolchildren. He slapped his hand down on thetable. "When I've finished in two hours' time, your work will be farmore effective and productive. Anyone not interested,leave now." Theentire room sat still.
2Robinson calls himself the Mind Magician (魔术师). He specializes indoing magic tricks that look totally impossible, and then he revealsthat they involve nothing more mysterious than good old-fashionedtrickery (骗术) have always been interested in tricks involvingmemory-being able to reel off (一口气 说出) the order of cards in apack,that sort of thing," he explains.
3Robinson was already lecturing to schools on his magic techniqueswhen it struck him that students might find memory techniques even morevaluable. "It wasn't difficult area to move into, as the stuff's allthere in books." So he summarized everything to make a two-hour lectureabout five techniques.
4"You want to learn a list of a hundred things?A thousand?Noproblem," says Robinson. The scandal is that every child is not taughtthe techniques from the beginning of their school life. Theschoolchildren who were watching him thought it was brilliant. "I wishI'd been told this earlier," commented Mark,after Robinson had shownthem how to construct "mental journeys".
5Essentially, you visualize (想象) a walk down a street, or a tripround a room, and pick the points where you will put the things youwant to remember-the lamppost, the fruit bowl. Then in each locationyou put a visual representation of your list-phrasal verbs, historicaldates, whatever-making them as strange as possible. It is that simple,and it works.
6The reaction of schools has been uniformly enthusiastic. "Thepupils benefited enormously from lan's presentation," says DrJohnston,head of the school where Robinson was speaking. "ldeally weshould run a regular class in memory techniques so pupils can pick itup gradually."
