Dreams are Your Other World

I believe in dreams. Everyone has dreams and in that moment people feel real. We can fly to the air and meet another person, usually the people I miss. In our dreams appear hope.  One day, I dreamed I was back at my Korean school. I had my Korean friends but there had some my Americans friends too. I chatted with my friends and used English as if we were using Korean. I hope to speak English well and communicate with others as I did in that dream.

People believe dreams can tell the future. In Korea, when you dream of a pig or gold, then people think they will have money something. When you dream of falling on your teeth, then people think somebody who is close to you die or will have bad things. On the other hand, people sometimes think dreams tell the opposite situation. For example, when you dream of a fire at your house or you see something burning to fire, then people think good things are coming to you or you will have money. Similarly, when you dream of your death or people who know dying, then people think that everything will be fine. I don’t know if this is relevant only to Korea or not.

I decided the title of this writing that is ‘Dreams are your other world’. I think dreams are my other world because usually I have dreams that are different from my life. I imagine almost every day about what I do in the future, after I come back to Korea, my friends, family, my school life, clothes and cosmetics. I continue imagine these thing, then they are appear to me in my dream that night. It is like going back to Korea. I meet my friends. I imagine what I want buy for clothes, fashionable clothes and what I need to cosmetics for my skin. And I imagine about my school life. Usually I imagine these things and then I feel them. Thus, I can experience new things in my dreams. I believe in dreams.
