65.High School English Reading Listening

Now and again I have had horrible dreams, but not enough of them to make me lose my delight in dreams. To begin with. I like the idea of dreaming, of going to bed and lying still and then, by some queer magic(神奇的魔力), wandering into another kind of existence. As a child, I could never understand why grown-ups took dreaming so calmly when they could make such a fuss(大惊小怪) about any holiday, This still puzzles me. I am puzzled by people who say they never dream and appear to have no interest in the subject. It is much more astonishing than it would be if they said they never went out for a walk. Most people do not seem to accept dreaming as part of their lives. They appear to see it as an irritating(令人困扰的) little habit, like sneezing or yawning(打哈欠).I can never understand this. My dream life does not seem as important as my waking life because there is far less of it, but to me it is important.
译文：
现在，我也曾做过可怕的梦，但还不足以让我失去对梦的喜悦。首先。我喜欢做梦的想法，喜欢上床睡觉，静静地躺着，然后通过一些奇怪的魔法，游荡到另一种存在。作为一个孩子，我永远无法理解为什么大人们会如此平静地对待做梦，而他们可以对任何节日大惊小怪，这仍然令我困惑。我对那些说自己从不做梦并且似乎对这个话题毫无兴趣的人感到困惑。这比他们说他们从不出去散步要令人吃惊得多。大多数人似乎不接受做梦是他们生活的一部分。他们似乎把它看作是一种令人讨厌的小习惯，就像打喷嚏或打哈欠一样。我永远无法理解这一点。我的梦境生活似乎不像我的清醒生活那么重要，因为它的数量少得多，但对我来说它很重要。
