Everyone dreams. If you've ever tried to figure out the meaning of a strange dream, you're not alone. Humans have been trying to make sense of dreams since recorded history. Here are some of the findings.
People with great creativity are more likely to dream about unusual settings and about blocks in the natural world, such as a log or a rock they can't get around.
You've got a heart problem. People who have frequent nightmares may be significantly more likely to suffer from an irregular heartbeat or chest pain. If you have those problems, it's more difficult for you to breathe at night.
You're avoiding something. Do you dream about being followed by a stranger, a monster, or a giant tidal wave? This could indicate that you're afraid to deal with something in your daily life.
You'll have a good result in a test. Students whose performance improved were those who had dreamed about the maze (迷宫) during the sleep. This improves learning and problem-solving skills.

By the time I was 12, My grandmother thought I had done such a good job that she promoted me to selling cosmetics（化妆品）. I developed the ability to look customers directly in the eye. Even though I was just a kid, women would ask me such things as “What color do you think I should wear?” I took a real interest in their questions and was able to translate what they wanted into makeup（化妆）ideas. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}
The job taught me a valuable lesson: to be a successful salesperson, you didn't need to be a Rocket scientist—you needed to be a great listener. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} Except they are no longer women purchasing cosmetics from me; instead, they are kids who tell me which toys they would like to see designed and developed.

D．Today I still carry that lesson with me: I listen to customers. E．My grandma's trust taught me how to handle responsibility. F．Soon I found myself looking more beautiful than ever before.
