Sample Answers

Are you able to remember your dreams from the night before? Honestly, I'm not really a morning person, so I usually don't remember my dreams right away. But sometimes, if I wake up in the middle of the night and jot down a few notes, I can recall bits and pieces of my dreams. I think it's because I'm more of a visual person, so if I see something that sparks a memory, I can piece together what happened in my dream.

Do you tell other people about your dreams? Actually, I do share my dreams with my sister, she's really into psychology and she loves analyzing them. I think it's because she's always trying to figure out what's going on in my subconscious mind. I don't really share them with anyone else, though, 'cause I feel like they might think I'm a little weird. But my sister's always been really supportive, so I feel comfortable sharing my crazy dreams with her.

Are you interested in others’ dreams? Definitely, I think it's really fascinating to hear about what other people dream about. I mean, it's like getting a glimpse into their subconscious mind, you know? I've got a friend who's always having these super vivid dreams, and she's always telling me about them. I love hearing about the crazy scenarios she comes up with, it's like listening to a mini-movie.

Would you like your dreams to be real? Ha! I think it would be awesome if my dreams could be real, but only the good ones, of course. I mean, who wouldn't want to fly or have superpowers, right? But, at the same time, I think it would be a little scary if my nightmares came to life. I've had some pretty intense dreams before, and I don't think I'd want to relive those in real life. So, maybe just the fun dreams, please.
