I dreamed a dream...

Do you often remember your dreams? According to some experts, you can remember dreams you had during the night when you wake up the following morning. However, if you don't tell somebody about it, or write it down in a piece of paper, you very quickly forget it.

For example you could begin your speech saying something like this: "Last night I had an awful dream. I dreamed about my boss. I dreamed that we were having an argument at work because..."

A big thank you to your classmate Begoña for these wonderful videos.
