1
In the third millenium BCE, Mesopotamian kings recorded and interpreted their dreams on wax tablets.
2
A thousand years later, Ancient Egyptians wrote a dream book listing over a hundred common dreams and their meanings.
3
And in the years since, we haven't paused in our quest to understand why we dream.
4
So, after a great deal of scientific research, technological advancement, and persistence, we still don't have any definite answers, but we have some interesting theories.
5
We dream to fulfill our wishes.
6
In the early 1900s, Sigmund Freud proposed that while all of our dreams, including our nightmares, are a collection of images from our daily conscious lives, they also have symbolic meanings, which relate to the fulfillment of our subconscious wishes.
7
Freud theorized that everything we remember when we wake up from a dream is a symbolic representation of our unconscious primitive thoughts, urges, and desires.
8
Freud believed that by analyzing those remembered elements, the unconscious content would be revealed to our conscious mind, and psychological issues stemming from its repression could be addressed and resolved.
9
We dream to remember.
10
To increase performance on certain mental tasks, sleep is good, but dreaming while sleeping is better.
11
In 2010, researchers found that subjects were much better at getting through a complex 3-D maze if they had napped and dreamed of the maze prior to their second attempt.
12
In fact, they were up to ten times better at it than those who only thought of the maze while awake between attempts, and those who napped but did not dream about the maze.
13
Researchers theorize that certain memory processes can happen only when we are asleep, and our dreams are a signal that these processes are taking place.
14
We dream to forget.
15
There are about 10,000 trillion neural connections within the architecture of your brain.
16
They are created by everything you think and everything you do.
17
A 1983 neurobiological theory of dreaming, called reverse learning, holds that while sleeping, and mainly during REM sleep cycles, your neocortex reviews these neural connections and dumps the unnecessary ones.
18
Without this unlearning process, which results in your dreams, your brain could be overrun by useless connections and parasitic thoughts could disrupt the necessary thinking you need to do while you're awake.
19
We dream to keep our brains working.
20
The continual activation theory proposes that your dreams result from your brain's need to constantly consolidate and create long-term memories in order to function properly.
21
So when external input falls below a certain level, like when you're asleep, your brain automatically triggers the generation of data from its memory storages, which appear to you in the form of the thoughts and feelings you experience in your dreams.
22
In other words, your dreams might be a random screen saver your brain turns on so it doesn't completely shut down.
23
We dream to rehearse.
24
Dreams involving dangerous and threatening situations are very common, and the primitive instinct rehearsal theory holds that the content of a dream is significant to its purpose.
25
Whether it's an anxiety-filled night of being chased through the woods by a bear or fighting off a ninja in a dark alley, these dreams allow you to practice your fight or flight instincts and keep them sharp and dependable in case you'll need them in real life.
26
But it doesn't always have to be unpleasant.
27
For instance, dreams about your attractive neighbor could actually give your reproductive instinct some practice, too.
28
We dream to heal.
29
Stress neurotransmitters in the brain are much less active during the REM stage of sleep, even during dreams of traumatic experiences, leading some researchers to theorize that one purpose of dreaming is to take the edge off painful experiences to allow for psychological healing.
30
Reviewing traumatic events in your dreams with less mental stress may grant you a clearer perspective and enhanced ability to process them in psychologically healthy ways.
31
People with certain mood disorders and PTSD often have difficulty sleeping, leading some scientists to believe that lack of dreaming may be a contributing factor to their illnesses.
32
We dream to solve problems.
33
Unconstrained by reality and the rules of conventional logic, in your dreams, your mind can create limitless scenarios to help you grasp problems and formulate solutions that you may not consider while awake.
34
John Steinbeck called it the committee of sleep, and research has demonstrated the effectiveness of dreaming on problem solving.
35
It's also how renowned chemist August Kekule discovered the structure of the benzene molecule, and it's the reason that sometimes the best solution for a problem is to sleep on it.
36
And those are just a few of the more prominent theories.
37
As technology increases our capability for understanding the brain, it's possible that one day we will discover the definitive reason for them.
38
But until that time arrives, we'll just have to keep on dreaming.

Übungstipps

Um das Beste aus dieser Lektion herauszuholen, empfehlen wir, die Technik des Shadowing anzuwenden. Dies bedeutet, dass Sie den Vortrag Schritt für Schritt nachsprechen, während Sie gleichzeitig den Inhalt aufnehmen. Achten Sie darauf, dass die Geschwindigkeit des Videos für Englisch lernen mit YouTube gut geeignet ist. Es ist hilfreich, die Videos zunächst in normaler Geschwindigkeit zu schauen, um ein Gefühl für den Inhalt und den Tonfall der Sprecherin zu bekommen. Dann können Sie die Geschwindigkeit reduzieren, um sicherzustellen, dass Sie alle Details mitbekommen.

Falls Sie Schwierigkeiten mit bestimmten Phrasen haben, machen Sie eine kurze Pause, um diese zu wiederholen. Nutzen Sie die Zeiten im Video, in denen die Sprecherin pausiert, um Ihre eigenen Gedanken laut auszusprechen. Das Üben mit einer shadowing site oder auf Plattformen wie shadowspeaks kann ebenfalls helfen, Ihr Verständnis zu vertiefen und das Englisch Shadowing zu verbessern. So werden Sie nicht nur Ihre Aussprache feilen, sondern auch sicherstellen, dass Sie die Materie letztendlich besser verstehen.

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?

Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
