Reading
Read the passage with your teacher.
선생님과 함께 지문을 읽어보세요.
You dream every night whilst you sleep. The dreams you have are the interface between your conscious waking state and your subconscious mind. You dream during sleep, which occurs roughly every 90 minutes throughout the night and for progressively longer periods. For example, you may only dream 5 or 10 minutes in your first period, but by morning you dream for about 30 minutes, right until you wake up.
Everyone dreams for about 100 minutes per night; you just have difficulty remembering your dreams. 100 minutes is more than an hour and a half and longer than most movies you see at the cinema.
Your dreams express to you what is happening in your physical body. They are a way of expressing and resolving what happens in your sub conscious mind. Science has shown that without dreaming you quickly breakdown in both mind and body.
Through your dreams you access a massive library of insight and information from your subconscious mind and the collective consciousness of humanity. Your dreams are a source for premonitions, spiritual contact and guidance. They are also a means to solve problems both personal and work related.

Korean Trap! / 한국인 실수 교정
Common mistakes Korean speakers make.
한국인이 자주 하는 실수를 알아봅시다.
한국어에서는 꿈을 "꾸다"라고 표현하기 때문에 "보다(see)"와 혼동하기 쉽습니다. 하지만 영어에서는 꿈을 꿀 때 반드시 have a dream 또는 dream을 동사로 사용합니다. "See a dream"은 영어에서 자연스럽지 않은 표현이니, I had a dream 또는 I dreamed으로 말하세요.
