Learning by heart Some people have good memories, and can easily learn quite long poems by heart. But they often forget them almost as quickly as they learn them. There are other people who can only remember things when they have said them over and over, but when they do know them they don't forget them. Charles Dickens, the famous English author, said that he could walk down any long street in London and then tell you the name of every shop he had passed. Many of the great men of the world have had wonderful memories. A good memory is a great help in learning a language. Everybody learns his own language by remembering what he hears when he is a small child, and some children who live abroad with their parents seem to learn two languages almost as easily as one. In school it is not so easy to learn a second language, because the pupils have so little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects as well. The best way for most of us to remember things is to join them in our mind with something which we know already, or which we easily remember because we have a picture of it in our mind. That is why it is better to learn words in sentences, not by themselves; or to see, or do, or feel what a word means when we first use it. The human mind is rather like a camera, but it takes photographs not only of what we see but of what we feel, hear, smell and taste. When we take a real photograph with a camera, there is much to do before the photograph is finished and ready to show to our friends. In the same way, there is much work to be done before we can make a picture remain forever in the mind. Memory is the diary that we all carry about with us.

The Meaning of Dreams Nearly half of all women admit they dream several times a night but usually have no idea what the dreams mean. That’s a pity because your dreams can tell you a lot about yourself. During an average night you’ll drift into light sleep and then deep sleep. You’ll go through five of these hour-long cycles. Before each new cycle — for between 10 and 30 minutes — you’ll be in dreamland: an unstructured world where nothing is impossible. By studying your dreams you can learn a great deal about yourself. Overweight people dream more than thin. Women dream more than men: 45 per cent of women say that they dream several times a night, but only 34 per cent of men say they dream that often. It is possible to choose what to dream about. As you fall asleep, make sure that the last thing on your mind is the scene or person you want to dream about. But be warned. It is impossible to decide exactly what is going to happen. Your plans for a night of romantic passion could easily turn into something else. A growing number of scientists believe that premonitions — either when you are awake or when you are in dreamland — may be just as real as other senses. But if you regularly have dreams about terrible things happening to you or those you love, you are almost certainly not dreaming about things that are going to happen but events that you are worried about. If you dream of TV stars, this may mean that you want your life to be more exciting. If you felt inferior, then your confidence probably needs a boost. A dream about death may signify you are looking forward to something about to happen — a new job or a new relationship, for example.
