come to us over and over again. That may be because the dreamers thinks about something all the

Sometimes we wake up with a good feeling from a dream. But often we can’t remember the
dream. Dreams can go away quickly.

at her village school. There was not much to see or to do in the village, so she found
her life a bit boring. After school, she would often sit quietly in front of her house and
watch the sunset. One day she travelled to the big city to visit her new school before
the term started, she woke up very early in the morning. This was her first time to
leave the small village. She can still clearly remember that day. It was nearly a year
ago, and it was a Saturday morning. After breakfast, she and her father walked along a
path in the mountains for nearly an hour. When they reached the foot of the mountain,
