IELTS English Podcast - Speaking Topic: Dreams

[@JacksEnglish]

Hello, everyone! I hope you enjoyed this episode😀Do you believe dreams have meanings?

[@MDEmtiazHasanParvez]

Yes, I do believe dreams can have meaning. Sometimes, they reflect what’s on our minds or unresolved thoughts. For example, if I'm stressed, my dreams often mirror those feelings, so I think they can reveal a bit about our inner emotions or concerns.

[@hedtube1]

Yes I do believe in dreams and I think there is a specific reason why we have been dreaming particular elements. In my opinion dreams are like a bridge between our unconscious side and the external world in order to express our feelings and emotions to get to know ourselves better

[@JacksEnglish]

@@hedtube1 A wonderful answer! And yes, I think this is an explanation I can relate to. The imagery of fire meaning ‘you will win money’ is harder for me to understand. Thanks for sharing!😀

1 . What was your dream when you were a child? In fact, I come from a family of doctors, so when I was young, I was raised awareness of following my family footsteps is one of my responsibilities by some of my relatives, you know, family tradition is still maintained seriously in some Asian families like mine. My family members told me that being a doctor could carve a niche for myself and our family so that I have perceived that it’s such a precious job since there. Therefore, it’s not surprising that becoming a doctor was my biggest goal at early ages. I’m a big fan of your podcast, I hope you can check my grammar and score my answer 🥰🥰.

[@JacksEnglish]

Here are a couple adjustments: 1. I was raised with the awareness that following 2. ...precious job since then. 3. ...goal at an early age. I can't give a score because this is a written answer to a speaking exam! Thanks for sharing your answer👍

[@KHNM8491]

By the way , all of your episodes are awesome. Keep it up Bro🎉

[@JacksEnglish]

Thanks! I'm enjoying the podcast. Plenty more episodes coming!

[@gregtan2558]

Well, in my opinion, I think that dreams would convey certain messages for us. Some might able to predict things that could happen in the future by having dreams. Dreams could also be a way for us to recall our past, some good moments especially. Every time I wake up for my dream, I will tend to think of the meaning of it. It really implies something, I would say.

[@JacksEnglish]

Thanks for sharing your interesting answer on dreams! A little feedback for your IELTS: 'Tend' is generally used in the present tense in this context. So: "I will tend to think of..." --> "I tend to think of...". Good job! 👍

As a kid, I was really afraid of cows and it had turned into my recurring nightmare and I remember as a solution I decided to befriend with them in my nightmares and I did and it surprisingly helped me stop seeing nightmares about cows. So, I can say I've had the experience of having lucid dreams when I was a child.😅

[@JacksEnglish]

@@behzadbakhshizadeh4921 What a great use of lucid dreams! Just a note on your English for IELTS: Try to limit your use of ‘and’ to once a sentence if you can. You could your long sentence into 3 sentences, and then use connecting phrases, such as ‘Additionally’, ‘After that’, or ‘Consequently’. Good job!👍

[@KHNM8491]

I do have lucid dreams many times especially about things that am in love with , so i always try to have a control over my dream by riding new cars , or sometimes i try to dream about my friend who i used to have A one sided crush on him try to ask me out and so on .😅

[@JacksEnglish]

Wow, it sounds great! I've heard these types of stories but I have no idea how to get control of the dream! Thanks for sharing your experiences of lucid dreaming👍

[@Cupcake.0987]

How can i download these vocabularies, is it free??

[@JacksEnglish]

@@Cupcake.0987 You can find the textbook on www.britplus.net

[@FaizanBuneri]

I was thinking about other dream (Goals like - ie. It's my dream to become doctor) 😅

[@JacksEnglish]

Haha that is also a good topic! Perhaps I'll cover that in another episode😀

[@hedtube1]

No I haven't done lucid dreaming and to be honest I won't!

[@JacksEnglish]

@@hedtube1 With you there😄

[@jojojojo4862]

I don't believe that dreams have such a meaning bcz some dreams are unrealistic. For example, I've dreamt about living in a different space and I was walking alone, so there was no meaning of that dream at all😂

[@JacksEnglish]

Yes, I think I tend to think like you... my dreams can be crazy so I doubt they can have meaning!😂
