Speaker 1: Mees, Elliett, you've been yawning all day.
Speaker 2: I have.
Speaker 3: Cowie's right, you are very yawny. Why are you so tired?
Speaker 2: Well, I've been trying not to sleep, really, but why
Speaker 2: don't you want to go to sleep?
Speaker 3: Because of the dog?
Speaker 1: What dog?
Speaker 3: I don't see a dog. The dog only comes when
Speaker 3: I'm sleeping. A sleepy dog.
Speaker 1: I'm so converced.
Speaker 3: Welcome to Stories for Kids by Lingo Kids, where we
Speaker 3: discover fascinating facts about the world around us and the
Speaker 3: fun of play learning. Join us as we learn about dreams.
Speaker 3: Why do we have them? Why are they sometimes silly
Speaker 3: but sometimes scary? Can we control our dreams? Join us
Speaker 3: to find out. In today's episode, Elliot, it sounds like
Speaker 3: you have been having some interesting dreams. Yeah, I don't
Speaker 3: like it.
Speaker 4: I don't know what you are so worried about, Elliot.
Speaker 4: I think dogs are super cute.
Speaker 1: They wag their tails like this. Oh, I would wag
Speaker 1: my tail like a dog.
Speaker 3: Lingo Kids listeners, can you wag your tail like a dog? Everyone?
Speaker 3: Try it? See Elliot.
Speaker 2: Dods are fun, Yeah, but my dog is not fun.
Speaker 3: It's more scary. Elliot. It sounds like this dream is
Speaker 3: upsetting you. Maybe it would help to tell us what
Speaker 3: feels scary about the dog in your dream. Well, it's
Speaker 3: really big and.
Speaker 1: Harry you flu Wait, it's a blue dog, Elliot.
Speaker 3: Dogs aren't blue.
Speaker 4: Mine is, and and it's philly fast.
Speaker 3: Billy is wondering how you know it's really fast.
Speaker 2: I know it's fast because the dog is always chasing me.
Speaker 2: There's the big, hairy blue dog. Catch you Alliott, No,
Speaker 2: not yet.
Speaker 3: That's why I can't go to sleep. Billy says, it
Speaker 3: sounds like your dream is a nightmare.
Speaker 2: No, it's not a mirror, Billy.
Speaker 3: It's a dream, but not a good kind. Ah, Billy
Speaker 3: is saying, nightmare, not night mirror. A nightmare is a
Speaker 3: dream that scares you. Sometimes nightmares can feel real, but
Speaker 3: they're just part of your own imagination.
Speaker 2: But why while I imagine something so scary?
Speaker 3: Billy says, dreams are mysterious. And that's true. There is
Speaker 3: a lot we don't know about dreams, but we do
Speaker 3: know a few things.
Speaker 4: Like what oh oh, maybe learning about dreams will help Elliet.
Speaker 3: Good idea, Lisa, would you like to learn a little
Speaker 3: more about dreams?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Okay. The first thing you should know is that everybody dreams.
Speaker 3: Even animals. Yes, many animals like cats and dogs, dream too,
Speaker 3: But the kinds of dreams we have can be very different.
Speaker 4: Oh, last night, I dreamed about a hot air balloon
Speaker 4: that was floating in space, and I think it was
Speaker 4: raining pickles. For some reason, I think I had a dream.
Speaker 3: But I can't remember. Billy says he dreamed about a
Speaker 3: new bird bath with a twisting water slide that squirts
Speaker 3: purple climb out asides and lands in root beer, and
Speaker 3: he drew a picture of.
Speaker 1: The Picturesoo, that's no cool, Billy.
Speaker 2: You dreamed that out.
Speaker 3: Another thing to know about dreams is that they can
Speaker 3: help us be more creative. Scientists think that this is
Speaker 3: because when we dream, we flip things together in a
Speaker 3: new way that gives us new ideas, like a mag up. Exactly, Lisa.
Speaker 3: It's like a mash up collage of thoughts and memories. Ooohoo,
Speaker 3: I love collages.
Speaker 1: I cut out different pictures from magazines, Ben, I lay
Speaker 1: them together on a big piece of vapor.
Speaker 3: That's a lot like what your brain does when you dream, Cowie,
Speaker 3: except instead of cutting out pictures from a magazine, you
Speaker 3: are putting together different thoughts and memories.
Speaker 2: Oh, but why don't I remember my dream?
Speaker 3: Well? Cowie Scientists think that most dreams happen during deep.
Speaker 1: Deep sleep.
Speaker 3: If you wake up pretty soon after your dream, you
Speaker 3: are more likely to remember it. Oh, Billy says, there
Speaker 3: is a lot to learn about dreams, but.
Speaker 2: I still haven't learned why I'm dreaming about a scary
Speaker 2: hairy dog.
Speaker 3: Well, Elliott. Scientists also think we have a lot of
Speaker 3: feelings in our dreams. Dreams can be happy or sad,
Speaker 3: or even scary. Dreams might actually help us work through
Speaker 3: feelings we have inside.
Speaker 4: Can you control your dreams?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Like, what if Elliott doesn't want to dream about a big, blue,
Speaker 4: hairy dog.
Speaker 3: Well, you can't always control your dreams, but there are
Speaker 3: some tricks you can try, Like what you can think
Speaker 3: of your dream as a story, and you are the
Speaker 3: author oo, I love stories. As the author, you decide
Speaker 3: what you want to change about your dream before you
Speaker 3: go to sleep. I don't get it. Maybe the Lingo
Speaker 3: kids listeners can help. Every night Elliott runs and runs
Speaker 3: from a big scary dog. What could he try doing instead?
Speaker 3: Jim in the.
Speaker 2: Carpentry, Thanks, I think I have an idea, and I.
Speaker 3: Think it's bedtime. My night, Elliott, Good morning Elliott, How
Speaker 3: did you sleep great? What about that dog? Oh Bernice
Speaker 3: whore friends? Now, Billy would like to know why the dog,
Speaker 3: I mean, Bernice was chasing you. That's exactly what I
Speaker 3: decided to ask her.
Speaker 2: And she just wanted to play ball with me. My
Speaker 2: dream is not scary anymore.
Speaker 3: It's fun now.
Speaker 1: Dreams are amazing.
Speaker 3: Well, Lingo kids listeners, Today we learned that everybody dreams.
