    Dreams

    Dreams

    Transcript



    Walter: Hi Yuna.

    Yuna: Hi.

    Walter: I know that you like to talk about dreams.

    Yuna: Yes. Yes, it’s one of my favorite subjects.

    Walter: In what level?

    Yuna: I like to know about other people's dreams, anything related to dreams. I like to

    analyze them at a spiritual level sometimes, it depends, and also at a psychoanalysis

    level too. Not that I know much about that, but I think it's very interesting.

    Walter: It’s a deep approach.

    Yuna: Yeah.

    Walter: Do you have any study about dreams?

    Yuna: Ah, no, not really. I'm just interested, so... once I... I didn't read the whole book,

    but I was interested in Freud's theory about the interpretation of dreams, but I didn't

    actually read the book. But I think that it's nice to get to know about what some

    elements in your dream can mean, like for example, I know that water in your dreams

    relates to something emotional.

    Walter: That’s interesting.

    Yuna: Yes, not like, not necessarily every time, but it can be related to your emotions. I

    like those things.

    Walter: Do you have another example?

    Yuna: I think once I've been told, if I remember correctly, that there is this recurring

    dream that some people have that they dream that their teeth are falling out, and I have



    this dream every now and then. I remember being told that it relates to something about

    your childhood, because that was the time when you were actually losing your teeth, so

    it's something related to your childhood somehow, it depends on the rest of the context.

    Walter: But there are dreams that are not related to anything. You dream with people

    that you haven't seen in ages. Do you understand?

    Yuna: Yes .

    Walter: Situations that you have never been involved in. I think these are meaningful

    dreams, I believe them, they have a meaning.

    Yuna: I mentioned, like, deep meanings in dreams, but I also like dreams that are

    nonsensical, dreams that are just funny, I really enjoy talking about them too. And I

    wanted to ask you, do you think that dreams can foresee the future somehow?

    Walter: Yeah.

    Yuna: Yeah?

    Walter: There are dreams... I have dreamed of a problem, I have dreamed about the

    solution to a problem.

    Yuna: Oh really?

    Walter: I slept with the problem and dreamed about the solution.

    Yuna: Great.

    Walter: I wanted very much to solve it for the next day, and the solution came ready. I

    believe that it has an explanation, your brain was sleepy and tired after a working day

    and you couldn’t think about the solution, and then when you rest you are able to find

    ways.

    Yuna: Do you usually recall your dreams? Can you remember them when you wake

    up?

    Walter: Not always... Not always I remember them. I remember close to the fact, but

    after some time, as everything in your brain, it’s cleaned up.

    Shyness

    Shyness

    Transcript

    Daniel: So, hello Yuna, how are you today?

    Yuna: Hey. I’m well, thanks for asking. How are you?

    Daniel: I’m okay. So, do you consider yourself a shy person?

    Yuna: Yes, I do. Even though when I say this to people, some of them say “no, you're

    not shy at all”. But I do feel shy, maybe I trick people into thinking I'm not shy, but It’s

    just a mask or something. And you?

    Daniel: Yeah, you don’t seem shy.

    Yuna: Really? Yeah, I hear that a lot.

    Daniel: Yeah, I also consider myself very shy. I try to hide it, but I'm not sure if I do it

    very well. And how do you deal with that? How do you think that impacts your life?

    Yuna: So, I've been trying to expose myself a lot, and it's uncomfortable, I think that's

    what shyness is about for me. I am able to talk to people and do things in general, deal

    with social interactions, but the thing is I feel uncomfortable doing it most of the time.

    And then I'm trying to cope with that by exposing myself a lot and realizing that it's fine,

    I survive that, and I'm getting more and more used to doing this, so I think I am little by

    little overcoming my shyness.

    Daniel: That's great, that's great.

    Yuna: How do you feel? What does it feel like being a shy person for you?

    Daniel: Yeah, it's very similar to what you said. I can force myself to behave socially,

    but it's hard. Sometimes I need to prepare myself before... prepare psychologically, or I

    get very nervous. But, yeah, I'm not sure if I'm getting better at it, I don’t know if I’m

    overcoming it. It’s really annoying, honestly, to feel this way.



    Yuna: Yes, I agree. It’s just this huge discomfort, it’s not... I don't know. I think there are

    shy people that are okay with being shy, it's just like “I don't feel comfortable in this

    situation so I just avoid this situation and it's fine”, and I wish I was more like that, but I

    do the opposite “Oh, I am uncomfortable in this situation? So I'm going to do this more

    and more until I’m not uncomfortable anymore”.

    Daniel: That’s a great position to have, you're facing your... problems, in a way, and

    trying to improve.

    Yuna: Yeah, yeah, I like to think so. And once you're closer to a person, does the

    shyness go away for you?

    Daniel: I guess it gets easier, I think, to deal with it. It lessens a little bit. And for you,

    how is it?

    Yuna: Yeah, it's the same. I think that... I feel like every time I see my friends again,

    even if we have a 10 year long relationship, I will be shy in the beginning of the

    interaction every time.

    Daniel: But it gets easier.

    Yuna: Yeah, it fades away with time.

    Walter: Good morning Daniel, it's fine to see you.

    Daniel: Yeah, it's been a while, so how are you?

    Walter: I’m fine, working a lot. As you.

    Daniel: Oh, ok.

    Walter: I do it frequently. And you, what do you cook?

    Daniel: I like to make some vegetables in the oven, roasted vegetables. It's very easy,  very simple, and very tasty. I just get out the cutting board and a very sharp chef’s knife,  slice some sweet potatoes after peeling them, peel some carrots and also slice them,  maybe chop a broccoli, and just throw them all in the oven with some olive oil and salt.  It's very tasty.

    Walter: It’s light, light food.

    Daniel: Yeah, it's one of my favorite things to do, you should try it sometime. It goes  great with, like, chicken breasts, or maybe a steak.

    Daniel: Yes, I think we all do.

    Walter: Yeah. They are cheaper and healthier.
