Having a nightmare

2:43

Yeah. That sounds like a really scary dream.

2:43

Yeah. So, a scary dream we can call a 'nightmare'.

2:47

So, I had a nightmare, a bad dream, the other night.

2:52

And I was in a foreign country, I think somewhere like Italy, a European place,

3:00

and I couldn't find my family.

3:04

And I was running around the streets,

3:07

trying to find them and I couldn't find them.

3:10

But then, after a while of looking around the streets,

3:16

I saw people in my family, and I felt much better.

3:21

So it sounds like it started as a nightmare,

3:25

but then it kind of went into a dream.

3:28

Yeah. It was just a normal, happy dream by the end.

3:31

Good!

3:31

Well, I noticed there that you used the past simple

3:35

and the past continuous to describe your dream.

3:38

You said 'I was running around', which is the past continuous

3:43

and then you said 'I found them', which was the past simple.

3:46

And this is really common language that we use

3:49

when we're describing things in the past like dreams.

3:53

So, we've talked about how long we sleep for

3:56

and we've talked about dreams and nightmares,

3:59

but I have a big question for you, Neil.

4:02

Do you snore?

4:07

You do!
