"Dreams (梦 ) may be more important than sleep. We all need to dream," some scientists say. Dreams take up about one quarter of our sleeping time. People have several dreams each night. Dreams are like short films. They are usually in color. Some dreams are like old films. They come to us over and over again. That may be because the dreamer is worrying about something. Dreaming may be a way of trying to find an answer.

Some people get new ideas about their work from dreams. They may have been thinking about their work all day. These thoughts can carry over into dreams.

Sometimes we wake up with a good feeling from a dream. But often we can't remember the dream. Dreams can disappear quickly from memory .

Too much dreaming can be harmful. The more we sleep, the longer we dream. The mind is hard at work when we dream. That is why we may have a long sleep and still wake up tired.

Then my family roll the dice（骰子）to decide what chores we have to do. The card also has a few squares with fun things，like watching TV and singing. If you’re lucky，you can watch TV when the others are doing the chores.

My son likes the game very much. He goes to the kitchen happily every morning to do the game. It’s really a good way to make my children do chores. You can have a try if you have the same problem as me.
