      What do your dreams mean?

    Have you ever found yourself doing an exam in the middle of the sea with your favourite film star? Don^ worry,it's only a dream!But what do your dreams say about you? Here is a fun guide to explaining them.

      Being chased

     If you dream someone is trying to catch you,you are worried about something in the future that you don't feel ready for.

     Death

     This doesn’t mean you are going to die——relax!You are going through some kind of change in your life. If you are a teenager,you will certainly be going through all kinds of changes in your life.

      Teeth falling out 

     You might be shy or you might think you’re a loser. Something is certainly troubling you!

     Being locked in

      If you dream that you are in a room and you can't get out,you may be feeling uncomfortable in a relationship-maybe with a parent,a friend or a cousin. You can't be yourself in this relationship and want to get out of the situation.

     Finding money

     You are looking for something!If you dream you find gold coins,this means you will find some success in real life.

     It is,however,important to realize that different people and even different cultures,all have different ways of explaining dreams. One thing that appears to be a common belief,though,is that dreams work in opposites.

    “ Make-A-Wish” is one of the world's most well-known charities (慈善機構(gòu)) .It makes wishes come true for children who have serious illnesses. It gives them hope and joy and helps them forget about their health problems and have fun.

     It started in 1980 in Phoenix,Arizona. Christopher was a 7-year-old boy who was very sick. He always dreamed of becoming a police officer.
