😴 꿈은 왜 꾸는 걸까? | SDBD Korean Podcast for Intermediate

Hello? This is Korean podcast "Sokdak Bookdak" talking about various things in Korean. Thank you to everyone who came to visit us today!

Thank you so much! How was everyone's last week? I think I overdid it a bit last week because there were a lot of classes after the holidays.

Because I was sitting at my desk for a long time, my back hurt a little. It wasn't that painful, but I heard that if you hurt your back, you will suffer, so I quickly went to the hospital and tried not to overdo it this week and get enough sleep. I tried to get some rest.

This time, a student came to take a trial class. Looking at my class schedule, she was worried that I was overdoing it. She said she came after watching my YouTube channel, and I was so touched that I met her through YouTube and that there are people who are worried about me.

I was really touched. So I thought that I should not overdo it in the future and take care of myself while teaching. I am working through the platform now, so I am paying a lot of commission, and I think I am pushing myself a bit because I am trying to do English, Japanese, and Korean all together.

In the future, I will make my website soon so that I can pay less commission, and I will not overdo it and take many classes, but I will focus more on Korean and try to teach. So this week, I tried to take it easy. While resting, I thought about what to talk about.

We talked about sleep last time, right? So this time, I thought it would be nice to talk about dreams. Do you guys have dreams often?

Really weird things often happen in dreams. So I wonder if these dreams have any meaning? I also think about this sometimes.

How do you interpret dreams in your country? So today, I'm going to talk about why we have these dreams. I'm going to talk about it.

And I'll also talk about how Koreans think about dreams. Okay, then, let's start talking about dreams. Please listen to the story comfortably.

Do you remember the dream you had today? I don't remember exactly what I dreamed today, but when I think about it, I think I have a little more bad dreams, nightmares, more often. Even if it's a nightmare, it's not like I have a terribly bad dream, when we sleep, we sleep without moving our bodies, right?

So I don't know why, but in my dreams, my body feels heavier and I often feel like my body doesn't move well. There are many times. So in my dreams, I have to run all the way over there, but my body doesn't move forward quickly, or I have to make something with my hands, but my hands don't move as I want, so there are many times when I can't make something properly.

But even after having these bad dreams, nightmares, I don't feel that bad when I wake up. I think, "Oh, it was just a dream," so I feel rather relieved, and I don't feel that bad. When I think about it, I think I had a good dream a while ago.

I had a dream that I found out that there was a rooftop room in my house. I had such a dream. Do you guys know what a rooftop room is?

A rooftop room is a small room on the roof. This small room on the roof is close to the sky, so it's hot in summer and cold in winter. So many poor college students often live here.

There is a rooftop in front of the rooftop room, and in many cases, you can use this rooftop as you like. So I invite my friends to the rooftop room and on the rooftop in front of this rooftop room we have a Korean BBQ party, and we also grow a small vegetable garden. A vegetable garden is a small garden where you grow vegetables.

In Korea, on the balcony or on the rooftop like this, we make a vegetable garden. In Korea, there are usually not many cases where there is a garden. So we make a vegetable garden on the balcony or rooftop like this, and usually, we grow vegetables such as lettuce that are easy to grow, or tomatoes, peppers, these kinds of vegetables.

Living in a rooftop room can be a bit difficult, but if there is a rooftop room in the house, that's so great, isn't it? There was a door in our house that I had never seen before, and when I opened that door and went in, there was a rooftop room there. I was so happy and thought, "Oh, it's winter now, so when it gets warmer later, I should invite my friends and have a Korean BBQ party," and when it gets a little warmer, I should also make a vegetable garden, and later, it would be so nice to do yoga under the night sky.

I had all sorts of happy imaginations. But in my dream, I just imagined and then woke up. When I woke up like this, I felt so empty.

More than nightmares, I hate this feeling of emptiness after having a good dream like this. I hate the emptiness more. But why do we have these dreams anyway?

Actually, why we have these dreams, they say that the exact reason is still unknown. Scientists are just saying, "Maybe it's something like this? " They are giving various opinions.

One of those opinions is that dreams are simply images that we saw while we were awake are combined and created. That's what they say. That's why dreams are all nonsense.

For example, let's imagine that we decided to order a hamburger for dinner. You ordered a hamburger, but the delivery person was a bit late. So you were a little annoyed, but you calmed down your annoyance and decided to enjoy the hamburger.

While eating the hamburger, you opened the can of cola that came with the delivery, and the cola sprayed out. It's a really annoying situation. The delivery person must have shaken the cola while rushing.

I guess they shook the cola a bit. But you quickly wiped the cola and thought, "Okay, let's just eat the remaining cola and hamburger and go to bed! " You thought.

After eating the hamburger well, you watched some YouTube before going to bed, and you watched a documentary about space. Watching this space documentary, you thought that spaceships were really cool. "Wow, this spaceship is so cool?

" You were thinking like this, and then you fell asleep. On a day like this, you have a dream like this. This time, you guys have become hamburger delivery guys.

Having become a hamburger delivery guy, I was about to quickly get on my motorcycle and go for delivery, but there's nothing but a spaceship at the store. So you guys unavoidably take the spaceship and go for delivery. But while going for delivery in a hurry, ah, I forgot and left the cola behind.

When I opened the bag, there was only a hamburger, no cola. This customer, seeing this, "Ah, what are you doing now? There's no cola!

" He got annoyed, saying that, but suddenly, rain starts falling from the sky. But when I looked closely at this rain, the rain is black. Yes, the rain is falling as cola.

This is such a ridiculous situation, right? This kind of thing can never happen in reality. Drams are images seen during the day being mixed and created, so you sometimes have these ridiculous dreams.

In Korea, these ridiculous, absurd dreams are called "dog dreams. " So after having these absurd dreams, "Ah, I had a dog dream" You can also say this. Also, to a friend who is uneasy after having a bad nightmare, "Hey, don't worry!

It's all a dog dream! " You can also comfort them like this. When I think about it, I remember talking about rooftop rooms with a student during the day on the day I had the rooftop room (dream).

I remember talking about rooftop rooms. And there is another opinion. Drams are a simulation where you can practice in various situations.

There is an opinion that it is a simulation. In dreams, that's why you make all sorts of mistakes. You forget something and leave it behind, and you also get into some kind of accident.

Also, among the dreams that you often have, there is also a dream where you forget your pants and don't wear them. Do you guys ever have dreams like this? I, like this, forget my pants and go out without wearing them, or on days when I have a dream where I forget my skirt and go out without wearing it, I think I look in the mirror one more time.

"Did I wear it properly today? " "Is there anything I'm missing? " I say.

Like this, dreams, when you make a mistake, make you practice what to do, and so that you don't make mistakes, it seems to make you check one more time. For example, when you get into some kind of accident, in a dream, you can wake up after regretting, "Ah, I shouldn't have done this at that time! " after regretting that, but if such an accident happened in reality, after getting hurt, you can't reset that situation, can you?

So if an accident happens in a dream, in reality, wouldn't it be better to do this? Shall I try this? You can more safely think about these worries.

And also some people say that dreams are dreamed to resolve emotions. They say that. Resolution is when something disappears completely or or it gets better, that's resolution.

When you are stressed, if you say, "The stress is resolved," the stress disappears completely, or even if it doesn't disappear, you can think, "Well, this is okay? " You had a worry, but the worry can be resolved, right? When I have a worry, if a friend gives me some comfort or advice, that worry disappears smoothly and gets resolved sometimes.

Like this, when someone comforts you, your heart can be relieved, but sometimes, after having a dream, your difficult feelings are relieved. For example, haven't you ever hated someone so much that you wanted to hit that person? If that person is a really, really bad person, you might even want to kill that person.

But you can't really hit or kill someone, can you? So sometimes, in dreams, you get to resolve these emotions. In dreams, you can directly hit or kill that person, or or just bugs or monsters?

Or you can hit and destroy something like a building. When you are angry at someone, after killing or destroying something in a dream like this, you might feel a little refreshed. In this case, you can say that the emotion of anger is resolved through the dream.

is resolved. Drams feel really strange, but they can have these various functions. There is a movie that tells about these various functions of dreams.

There is one movie. It's a movie called "A Monster Calls. " This movie seems to be about 10 years old, but it's still famous, so I think many of you will know about it.

The main character of this movie is a twelve-year-old boy, Conor. Conor's parents are divorced, so Conor lives alone with his mother. But one day, his mother becomes seriously ill, and he hears that his mother will soon die.

How difficult would it be for a twelve-year-old child to have his only mother pass away? It's such a difficult situation, but he even gets bullied at school. Bullying is when people around you harass you.

Conor is even bullied at school. How difficult must it be for him? In the midst of this, a monster appears in his dream and says this to Conor.

I will tell you three stories. But after listening to these three stories, you have to tell me your inner thoughts too. Why does it suddenly tell him three stories?

270 07:16:34,743 --> 00:16:37,663 And after listening to these stories, why does he have to tell his inner thoughts? And what on earth does it mean by my inner thoughts? Conor also thinks this and says, "I don't have any inner thoughts!

I can't say anything! " He says this. But the monster stubbornly starts the story.

The story that this monster tells is very strange, chaotic, and makes you wonder, "What on earth does it want to say? " You get that feeling. But Conor, after listening to all three stories, realizes something.

And he also gets to know his inner thoughts better, so in the end, he is able to tell his inner thoughts. What kind of story did the monster tell that made Conor know his inner thoughts and be able to tell them? Actually, I want to tell you, but this movie is really well made, and it's a good movie, so I want you to see it yourself, so I'm not going to spoil it.

If you are really curious about this story, I think it would be good to watch the movie yourself. Well, dreams, like the monster's story, when you just hear it, you might wonder, "What is this story about? " but after listening to it all, it sometimes gives you some kind of teaching, and and also, your heart feels refreshed, you sometimes have that experience of resolution.

But these dream contents are so strange, right? Suddenly, you fly in the sky, and cola and rain pour from the sky, and you ride a spaceship, and you were on a plane, but you opened the door and went outside, and suddenly, your room is right in front of you, and like this, it's all mismatched, and it's so strange, so Koreans also wondered what this dream was telling them, they wanted to interpret the dream. This interpretation of dreams is called "dream interpretation.

" Koreans wanted to interpret dreams. When you interpret a dream, there are dreams that have good meanings, and these dreams with good meanings are called auspicious dreams. And of course, there will be dreams with bad meanings.

Drams that tell you that bad things will happen, those dreams were called ominous dreams. Listening to this so far, ominous dreams and nightmares might be a bit confusing. A nightmare is, a dream that you feel bad after having, right?

Like a monster chasing you, or or you forget something and leave behind something important, or These things are called nightmares. But it's not about talking about a dream that made you feel bad, a dream that symbolizes something bad, After having a dream where these things come out, it is interpreted as "bad things might happen," a dream that is interpreted like that is called an ominous dream. So just because you have a nightmare, it doesn't necessarily mean it's an ominous dream, so bad things might not necessarily happen afterwards.

Well, so let me tell you about famous good dreams in Korea auspicious dreams first. A famous auspicious dream in Korea is a pig dream. In your country, after having a pig dream, do you say that you are lucky?

In Korea, many people think that after having a pig dream, a lot of money will come in, and good things will happen. Even if you don't really believe in dreams, people who say, "A pig appeared in my dream today! " They also sometimes buy lottery tickets.

On the other hand, there are also famous ominous dreams among the ominous dreams that people think will bring bad things if they dream them. There are also famous dreams among ominous dreams that people think will bring bad things if they dream them. It's a dream of losing a tooth.

Especially if you have a dream of losing a tooth on the top, an upper tooth, people who are older than me Mom, Dad, or Grandma, Grandpa There is a story that something bad will happen to people above, such as uncles, aunts, and aunts. There is a story that something bad will happen to people above, such as uncles, aunts, and aunts. And if you have a dream of losing a tooth below, a lower tooth, It is said that something bad will happen to people below, such as younger siblings or children.

It is said that something bad will happen to people below, such as younger siblings or children. It's really scary to hear this kind of story. But I hope you don't worry too much.

This is all superstition, not scientific, It's just a superstition that is just a belief that "maybe it is. " In fact, psychologically, the dream of losing a tooth is, It means that you are not confident It is said that it is a dream that you have when you are stressed. If you have this kind of dream, don't worry too much It would be better to just rest your body more comfortably.

But if you are really worried, It's okay to ask your family how they are doing. It's okay to call your family to say hello. 367 06:22:50,202 --> 00:22:53,205 Koreans also have these dreams To family members who haven't been in contact for a while I think I also make a phone call to say hello.

Ah, and in Korea, They also have conception dreams. What is a conception dream? Before a baby is born or before a baby is born The baby will be coming out soon It's a dream that tells you that.

376 07:23:19,564 --> 00:23:24,277 Just passing by in a dream and suddenly getting fruit Or an animal suddenly comes into me After having that dream, Koreans think that a baby will be born soon. It's not just that I'm having a baby; My friend might have a baby I think someone in my family might have a baby. So suddenly getting a peach, or Or to some friend of mine After having a dream of giving a peach, after having this dream, I want to call that friend.

I call that friend and say, "Do you have any good news? " I ask like this. Good news means "Didn't you have a baby?

" It's like that feeling. "Did you have a baby? " You can say it like this, but to be a bit more indirect, "Any good news?

" This is how you might ask. Even if it's not the mother who's pregnant, Friends or family can have a conception dream for them, Isn't that amazing? These conception dreams are usually about fruits or animals, And depending on what kind of fruit or animal appears, They say you can know the child's personality or future.

For example, a child whose conception dream is a peach Is said to become famous later. And a child whose conception dream is a tiger Is said to become popular and have leadership skills. Like this, depending on the various fruits or animals, The child's personality or future is said to be different.

Of course, this is all superstition, though. Before giving birth, It's fun to think, "Since I had this conception dream, maybe my child will be like this. " It would be interesting to think about.

By the way, my conception dream was a snake, they say. My mom was walking down the street, When suddenly, a colorful and beautiful snake Came and snuggled into my mom's skirt. And then, I was born, they say.

I just did a quick search, and It says snakes are intelligent and clever. I'm not sure if I'm really that clever, But anyway, it makes me feel good to hear this story. Do you have these conception dreams In your country?

Even if you don't have conception dreams, It might be fun to ask your mom if she had any dreams before she had you. It could be interesting. Okay, so that's it for today's episode.

Today we talked about dreams, how was it? Was it a bit interesting? Do you have these dream interpretations in your country?

If you have any interesting dream interpretations unique to your country, It would be fun if you could share them in the comments. Alright, so that's it for today's story, And I'll be back with another interesting episode next time. Thank you so much for listening until the end, I really appreciate it.
