　　Dreams 夢之閑話

　　Everyone can dream.Indeed, everyone does dream.Those who claim that they never dream at all actually dream just as frequently as the rest of us, though they may not remember anything about it.Even those of us who are perfectly aware of dreaming night after night very seldom remember those dreams in great detail but merely retain an untidy mixture of seemingly unrelated impressions. Dreams are not simply visual-we dream with all our sense , so that we appear to experience sound, touch, smell, and taste.

　　One of the world's oldest known written documents is the Egyptian Book of Dreams.This volume is about five thousand years old, so you can see that dreams were believed to have a special significance even then.Many ancient civilizations believed that you should never ask a sleeping person as, during sleep, the soul had left the body and might not be able to return in time if the sleeper were suddenly awoken .

　　From ancient times to the present day ,people have been making attempts to interpret dreams and to explain their significance.There are many books available on the subject of dream interpretation.although unfortunately there are almost as many meanings for a particular dream as there are books.

　　人人都會做夢，也確實每個人睡覺都做夢。那些聲稱睡覺從來不做夢的人其實都有做夢，而且做夢的頻次與其他人一樣，只是他們從來記不住自己做的夢而已。即使是那些能清楚地意識到自己夜復(fù)一夜都在做夢的人也很少能夠把那些細(xì)節(jié)都描述得淋漓盡致，能記住的也只是一些看起來毫無關(guān)聯(lián)的印象與場景組成的一團混沌。夢境不僅僅是視覺的，我們做夢的時候會牽動我們的各種器官，所以我們在夢里似乎能夠聽到聲音，能觸摸到，還能嗅到氣味，甚至嘗到味道。

　　埃及的《夢幻書語》是目前世界上所發(fā)現(xiàn)的最早關(guān)于夢的文本記載。這本書大概5000年的歷史，我們可以發(fā)現(xiàn)在那個年代，人們就已經(jīng)相信夢特有的重要性。在很多古老的文明中，人們都堅信不能驚醒睡夢中的人，因為在睡夢中，人的靈魂都會離開身體，如果別驚醒，靈魂也許就不能及時回到身體里。

　　從古到今，人們就一直試圖解析夢境以及其重要性。目前市面上就有很多關(guān)于解夢的書，遺憾的是，對于同一個夢，有多少本書就會有多少種解釋。
