When We Are Asleep

　　Everyone dreams，but some people never recall their dreams，or do so very rarely. Other people always wake up with vivid recollections （記憶） of their dreams，though they forget them very quickly. In an average night of eight hours' sleep，an average adult will dream for around one hundred minutes，probably having three to five dreams，each lasting from ten to thirty minutes.

　　Scientists can detect when someone is having a dream by using an instrument which measures the electrical waves in the brain. During dreaming, these waves move more quickly. Breathing and pulse rate also increase，and there are rapid eye movements under the lids, just as though the dreamer were really looking at moving objects. These signs of dreaming have been detected in all mammals （哺 乳動物） studied, including dogs, monkeys, cats, and elephants, and also some birds and reptiles （爬行動物）. This period of sleep is called the "D" state for around 50% of their sleep；the period reduces to around 25% by the age of 10.

　　Dreams take the form of stories，but they may be strange and with incidents not connected，which make little sense. Dreams are seldom without people in them and they are usually about people we know. One estimate says that two-thirds of the "cast" of our dream dramas are friends and relations. Vision seems an essential part of dreams，except for people blind from birth. Sound and touch are senses also often aroused，but smell and taste are not frequently involved. In "normal" dreams，the dreamer may be taking part，or be only an observer. But he or she cannot control what happens in the dream.

　　However, the dreamer does have control over one type of dream. This type of dream is called a "lucid"（清醒的） dream. Not everyone is a lucid dreamer. Some people are occasional lucid dreamers. Others can dream lucidly more or less all the time. In a lucid dream，the dreamer knows that he is dreaming.

Memory Test

　　1"I am going to give you five techniques that will enable you to remember anything you need to know at school," promised lecturer lan Robinson to a hundred schoolchildren. He slapped his hand down on the table. "When I've finished in two hours' time, your work will be far more effective and productive. Anyone not interested，leave now." The entire room sat still.

　　2Robinson calls himself the Mind Magician （魔術(shù)師）. He specializes in doing magic tricks that look totally impossible, and then he reveals that they involve nothing more mysterious than good old-fashioned trickery （騙術(shù)） have always been interested in tricks involving memory-being able to reel off （一口氣 說出） the order of cards in a pack，that sort of thing," he explains.

　　3Robinson was already lecturing to schools on his magic techniques when it struck him that students might find memory techniques even more valuable. "It wasn't difficult area to move into, as the stuff's all there in books." So he summarized everything to make a two-hour lecture about five techniques.

　　4"You want to learn a list of a hundred things？A thousand？No problem," says Robinson. The scandal is that every child is not taught the techniques from the beginning of their school life. The schoolchildren who were watching him thought it was brilliant. "I wish I'd been told this earlier," commented Mark，after Robinson had shown them how to construct "mental journeys".

　　5Essentially, you visualize （想象） a walk down a street, or a trip round a room, and pick the points where you will put the things you want to remember-the lamppost, the fruit bowl. Then in each location you put a visual representation of your list-phrasal verbs, historical dates, whatever-making them as strange as possible. It is that simple, and it works.

　　6The reaction of schools has been uniformly enthusiastic. "The pupils benefited enormously from lan's presentation," says Dr Johnston，head of the school where Robinson was speaking. "ldeally we should run a regular class in memory techniques so pupils can pick it up gradually."
