RESPONSE>> Talk about how Koreans interpret dreams.
Sigmund Freud claimed that dreams are attempts by your unconscious to resolve a conflict of some kind.
Sound like gibberish? It sure does to me.
* gibberish: 알아들을 수 없는 말, 횡설수설
ex> It all sounds like gibberish to me.
Koreans however, have simpler and more interesting ways of interpreting dreams.
ex> He has an interesting way of eating pizza.
For Koreans, dreams almost always have certain meanings.
ex> The subway is almost always on time.
There are good dreams and bad dreams.
For example, if you have a dream of a pig, or a dragon, or poop in your dream, those are deemed extremely lucky.
* poop: 대변
* deem: ~로 여기다, 의견을 가지다
These represent wealth and prosperity.
Go play a lottery and make sure you don't tell anyone though because your luck loses its effectiveness if you do.
On the other hand, falling teeth is the most common bad dream.
ex> On the other hand, eating too much salt is not healthy.
It implies a sickness or bad fortune.
* imply: ~을 뜻하다, ~을 내포하다
