1,162	4-1428	[ "We are glad to have Dr. Garfield to talk to us today about dreams. Let me start by asking the first question. Does everyone dream?", "It appears that everyone does. Mostly when people say that they never dream, what they really mean is that they don't remember their dreams or they don't think their dreams are important. The reason behind is that they might have been made fun of with a child when they first reported their dreams or it was so frightening that they just turned off dreaming completely. The other day, someone named Davis came to me and said that he used to be a great dreamer, but suddenly he stopped having dreams. I asked him what it happened. It turned out that his brother died by heart attack and he never expected that such a terrible thing would happen to a young person. Generally, when there was some frightening event and dream about it was too terrible. People prefer not to dream about it. Actually the worst thing you can do is stop dreaming. Because it means that the bad experience would be too painful to even appear in dreams. As long as you dream about it and even the dream is frightening, your mind is working on it. My personal opinion about what dreams do is that they help us deal with our problems. We see certain patterns take place in dreams. When a person is hurt deep inside, when a person is seriously ill or when a person has been really sad, if people turn off their dreams totally, it means they don't love themselves to even think about it." ]

Er, before that, I was secretary of the medical school at Birmingham, and further back, I worked in the local government.", "Oh, I see.", "So I've done different types of things.", "Yes, indeed. How do you imagine your job might develop in the future? Can you imagine shifting into a different kind of responsibility or doing something...", "Oh, yeah, from October 1, I'll be doing an entirely different job. There's going to be more committee work. I mean, more policy work, and less dealing with students, unfortunately-I'll miss my contact with students." ]
1,241	5-60	[ "You've sold your car. You don't need one?", "Not really. I've never liked driving anyway. Now we've moved to a place near the subway entrance. We can get about quite conveniently." ]

Look at this!", "What? Are you getting interested in nineteenth-century plays all of a sudden?", "No. Look at the signature. Someone gave this book as a present, and wrote a note on the inside of the front cover. It's dated 1856. Maybe it's worth something.", "Everything on that shelf is worth fifty cents.", "But if this is the signature of someone who is well-known, it might bring a lot more. I hear William Shakespeare's signature is worth about a million dollars.", "Oh? I can hardly read what the one says. Who wrote it?", "The name looks like \"Harold Dickinson\". Wasn't he a politician or something? I'm going to buy this book and see if I can find a name like that in the library.", "Good luck.

1,270	4-704	[ "I can't imagine what happened to Judy.", "Neither can I. I'm sure she planned to come to the party." ]

A tablet can't give you this kind of feeling at all.", "Do you usually read the whole paper or go through different sections to pick out your favorite articles?", "I like being able to look around and find what I want. I can do this very quickly with a newspaper, but online news is tough for me to sort through. It takes me forever just to find something good, and sometimes when I do, it turns out to be something different!", "Do you dislike anything about your newspaper?", "Well, the only thing I can think of is all the ads nowadays. But it's even worse online, so I guess the answer is no!" ]

I know most people there speak French, but can I also use English?", "Well, people speak both French and English there, but you'll hear French most of the time and all the street signs are in French. In fact, Montreal is the third largest French-speaking city in the world. So you'd better practice your French before you go.", "Good advice, what about Quebec City?

[ "We are glad to have Dr. Garfield to talk to us today about dreams. Let me start by asking the first question. Does everyone dream?", "It appears that everyone does. Mostly when people say that they never dream, what they really mean is that they don't remember their dreams or they don't think their dreams are important. The reason behind is that they might have been made fun of with a child when they first reported their dreams or it was so frightening that they just turned off dreaming completely. The other day, someone named Davis came to me and said that he used to be a great dreamer, but suddenly he stopped having dreams. I asked him what it happened. It turned out that his brother died by heart attack and he never expected that such a terrible thing would happen to a young person. Generally, when there was some frightening event and dream about it was too terrible. People prefer not to dream about it. Actually the worst thing you can do is stop dreaming. Because it means that the bad experience would be too painful to even appear in dreams. As long as you dream about it and even the dream is frightening, your mind is working on it. My personal opinion about what dreams do is that they help us deal with our problems. We see certain patterns take place in dreams. When a person is hurt deep inside, when a person is seriously ill or when a person has been really sad, if people turn off their dreams totally, it means they don't love themselves to even think about it." ]

So, what shall we do?", "Why don't we have a surprise party, Maggie?", "That's a good idea. We could go to the Holiday Inn Hotel.", "That's too expensive. Maybe we can ask Carrie to make a cake.", "Yeah, let's do that. Perhaps we could just give the party in the office and put up some balloons.", "That's great. I think we should also buy a really big card, a huge card, and we should get everybody to sign it.", "Shall we have some music?", "I was thinking exactly that myself. But ..." ]

We're a small nonprofit organization, and we're hoping to save our local papers and all the jobs they create.", "Oh, that's an awesome cause! Fire away!", "Great. So, tell me what you like about newspapers.", "Well, there is a certain feel to holding a paper and turning the pages. The touch and sound of the paper as I fold it are so pleasant... A tablet can't give you this kind of feeling at all.", "Do you usually read the whole paper or go through different sections to pick out your favorite articles?", "I like being able to look around and find what I want. I can do this very quickly with a newspaper, but online news is tough for me to sort through. It takes me forever just to find something good, and sometimes when I do, it turns out to be something different!", "Do you dislike anything about your newspaper?", "Well, the only thing I can think of is all the ads nowadays. But it's even worse online, so I guess the answer is no!" ]

But do you mean the province of Quebec or Quebec City?", "I mean the province. My friend's wedding is in Montreal, so I'm going there first. I'll stay for 5 days. Is Montreal the capital city of the province?", "Well, many people think so because it's the biggest city, but it's not the capital. Quebec City is, but Montreal is great. The Santa Lawrence River runs right through the middle of the city. It's beautiful in summer.", "Wow, and do you think I can get by in English? My French is okay, but not that good. I know most people there speak French, but can I also use English?", "Well, people speak both French and English there, but you'll hear French most of the time and all the street signs are in French. In fact, Montreal is the third largest French-speaking city in the world. So you'd better practice your French before you go.", "Good advice, what about Quebec City? I'll visit a friend from college who lives there now. What's it like?", "It's a beautiful city, very old. Many old buildings have been nicely restored. Some of them were built in the 17th and 18th centuries. You'll love it there.", "Fantastic. I can't wait to go." ]
