Before we begin today’s podcast, I wanna thank one of our podcast-listeners in Japan, Notico who e-mailed us to tell us about a problem that we had with EslPod number four on our website.
Apparently, we had a problem recording the audio, and so, only one side of the audio came out.
so, if you were listening in your headphones, you may only heard it out of one ear.
We apologize for that.
we may have had that problem also in our EslPod number5.
But we think we had the problem fixed. We wanna thank Notico for letting us know, and encourage all of you to e-mail us your ideas and suggestions, and if you have problems, let us know.
now let’s get started.
Today’s topic is bad dreams.
We asked 2 people to talk about their worst dreams.
Let’s listen to what they had to say.
I do have nightmares sometimes. I do have bad dreams.
Allot of my bad dreams are things like: I’m being chased by someone, and I can’t get away from them or I am hiding from them.
Some other my bad dreams are involved not being able to get home.
I’m trying to get home, and there are allot of different obstacles that I have to get passed before I get home, and I usually wake up before I get there.
So, I find it very frustrating.
So, these bad dreams make me really tense, and when I wake up, I’m very very stressed out.
A bad dream that I had kepped over and over again. a recurring bad dream I had.
when I was in highschool, was a really horrible one.
I dreamt that my mother had a knife, and meat cleaver, and I was a child, and I saw her in the bathroom, cutting up a dead body with a meat cleaver, and she saw me, watching her, and she started chasing me with her knife, and she never cut me.
But I had to hide from her, and she chased me and chased me, and I was really scared.
I had this recurring dream, probably I don’t know for several month, and to this day, it’s the scariest, worst , bad dream I’ve ever had.
Oh, that’s an interesting question, bad dreams.
well, I would have to say that the worst bad dream I’ve ever had, and this happens allot to me in my dreams is that I was trapped inside a building or I’m trapped in another country, and I can’t get back home.
usually what happens is that I meet someone they are from my past: an old friend, an acquaintance, a classmate, someone from highschool, and of course it seams normal.
It seams just natural when I’m having in the dream that I meat these people.
But it’s always in a situation that never actually occured, but usually my dreams like most people are bad dreams.
I think are related to things that i thought about or happened to me that day or recently.
For example, I had a very difficult time, getting my car fixed the other day, and that night when I had a dream, I dreamt that I was broken down on the highway, and I couldn’t get home, and it was dark,, and it was starting to rain. So, I started to get desperate and so forth.
so, when I woke up of course, I was sweating and a little bit scared, but fortunately, I was able to calm myself down.
And eventually, I actually got my car fixed.
so, I hope I don’t have that nightmare again.

description of eslpod number 6 bad dreams

You just heard 2 people talked about a bad dream including me and i wanna now talk about some of the vocabulary that they used that you might have had difficulty with.
Remember this section of our podcast is optional.
if you wanna go back and listen again and again. We recommend that.
But if you want some additional help, then stay tuned.
One word that both speakers used is nightmare.
A nightmare is another word for a bad dream.
when Lucy was talking about her bad dream, she mentioned that she couldn’t get home because she had lots of obstacles.
An obstacle is something that gets in your way, either when you’re walking, running in a car, or just generally in life when we talk about obstacles that get in our way.
things that prevent us from going or doing what we want to do.
In the army, they have something called “an obstacle course” and sometimes in a school, in physical education class.
They’ll set up a game called”an obstacle course” and you have to go through all sorts of different obstacles, different challenges such as walking through some tires or climbing up a rope and so forth.
Another word that Lucy used was recurring.
she said that she had a recurring dream. To recur means to repeat.
So, she had that dream several times.
During my discussion of nightmare, I mentioned that my nightmares about being trapped.
And to be trapped is to be put in a situation where you can not leave. But we also used the term trapped in a more general way.
you can be trapped in a job or you feel like you are trapped in a situation.
This is a situation or job that you can’t leave or you can’t escape from easily.
Another word I used in my description of the bad dream is that my car had broken down.
Now you probably already know that broken means something that doesn’t work.
For example, my radio is broken or my computer is broken.
But when you talk about motor vehicles: cars, truck, we use the term broken down when it stops running, when it stops being able to move.
So, broken and broken down slightly different meanings.
That’s going to wrap it up for today’s Esl podcast.
I wanna thank you again for listening.
