beautiful dreamer

Good morning. I sleep almost half a day these days. It's not because I'm lazy. I dream so exciting dreams everynight that I can't get up. I don't want to wake up before the stories end. However, when somebody disturbs me, I have to wake back to the reality halfway through the story.

The drawing describes the setting of the story that I couldn't know its end. I am staying at the hotel by the river. On the other bank, there is a mine. Perhaps, a copper mine. Many mine workers were killed in accidents like rock falling or something like that. There is a rumor that the hotel is haunted by ghosts of the victims. I am at the building A of the hotel to see the ghosts.

In the dream, I stayed up until midnight. But I saw nothing. I called to hotel staff and complained about the no occurrence. The staff told me ''I'm afraid that you are at a wrong place. It's Building B." I quickly packed my stuff up. And I was walking to the B building... Then I was disturbed.

You know, it's extremely difficult to see the continuation once we get up halfway through dream. It's really elusive. If I ever dream the next twist of the ghost story, I'll blog about it. Hopefully somenight.

Kon-nichiwa anonymous,

Well, thank you for your question. It is really interesting one.

>dream in native japanese or in english?

When I was in the Midwest(I lived there for nearly two years), I dreamed in English. However, after coming back to Japan, my dreams have never come in English. Such phenomena seem pretty well-known. This would be a strong piece of evidence for the plausible speculation that dream partly reflects our experiences or external stimuli.

>what can one interpret from a dream being in one language versus another

I don't know.
