Dream Speed

Dreams need not be swift. The night carries itself on wings of quiet contemplation.

That is why the chariot of dreams is a snail's shell. It can be carried by an actual snail, a hermit crab, or you.

Do not stress if it slows you down. You are not supposed to advance in physical reality. Instead you retreat within your shell, spiraling inward to the center of your psyche. You can stay still as this happens. "Sleep," perhaps, or day dream, or trance, or pay attention in your waking life. I speak in signs. I do not waste words.

I may seem slow, oh yes. Reality can seem slow to provide a clue. Consider it time to rest, or prepare. I am already there, waiting. You are the one bound by time, and I patiently wait for you to see me.

I'm going to write about nightmare dream theme. I have nowhere to start since I have a very limited english vocabulary as it is my second language. any good words for describing nightmare dream and feelings? thank you

I don’t know that I know what it is you need, but I will try :)

Visit this site to see a list of words associated with “sleep.” If there’s one you don’t know, go here and type it into the box to get a definition. You also might use a dictionary or translator specific to your native language if you need to.

One word that gets used a lot when talking about dreams is “vivid,” which means that the dream is very detailed and seems very real. If your character is mistaking dreams for reality, then “vivid” would be a good word to use. 

Another great word you might not come across is “lucid,” which describes a dream where the person dreaming knows they’re dreaming. There’s debate that someone having a lucid dream can control what happens in the dream. So that might be an interesting point to explore in your story!

Because nightmares are scary dreams, words that are often used to describe them are horrible, terrifying, unsettling, disturbing, or even bizarre. 

When it comes to verbs, common phrases when someone is having lots of bad dreams:

plagued by [insert adjective] dreams

suffering from [insert adjective] dreams

visited by [insert adjective] dreams

haunted by [insert adjective] dreams

The phrases above ^ describe dreams that are happening often.  You might say the person is having a recurring dream, or a dream that keeps coming back.

I hope this helped! Feel free to follow up this weekend once the ask box reopens :)

Dream language

As I stated in the “Dreams” assignment, I believe that people dream in a certain language or picture. The language that they dream in differs from person to person, and what their native language is. 

However,  “Abstract Psychology at the Edge? Exploring Mark Blechner’s The Dream Frontier”  provides a whole different view on the languages that people dream in. Blechner states that the language barriers are being broken during the dreams, meaning that people find a whole new language during this thinking. The biggest focus on this is that dreams don’t focus on communication between people.

I have trouble comparing these two views to another because they don’t really mention the same aspect. Blechner doesn’t talk about the language that people dream in, but about the language system itself instead. This caused us to both answer the question in a different manner, but there’s something to mention for both of the answers. I still believe that people dream in their native language or the language that they feel the strongest in. However, i do understand the point that Blechner makes, that there’s a language system that is bigger than the language that we normally use. 

Dreams make the impossible happen, so why wouldn’t it break the language barriers too? 

What is Language Awareness?

Awareness of languages can be seen in different ways, some in the way that is subconsciously instead of in the conscious part of the brain. This would mean that some things happen on the “Automatic Pilot”. When you are aware in a conscious manner, you start to pay attention to a language and focus on mistakes that could have been made in something. 

This is called the focal sense and as a language teacher it will be extremely important that i use this sense a lot. I will be able to recognize any mistakes that my students can make while learning this language, and correct them to teach them more about this language. This way I can make my students more aware about the assignments and language itself.

People are not realizing it but language awareness is getting way more important to today’s society than we know. This is making the world more globalized compared to when we are not paying any awareness to a language. Social and contact context make it’s easier to come in contact with new people and to learn about different people.

The role of a teacher is not only to just teach someone grammar or vocabulary, but also to teach your students about life and different cultures, that they may not know. This makes them more of a world citizen.
