Description
What do your weird dreams actually mean? 😴💭
In Mandarin Monkey Podcast Episode 480, Ula and Tom get into a very random but surprisingly deep conversation about dreams, relationships, stress, sleep and teeth falling out...etc. All while naturally switching between Mandarin Chinese and English.
Ula talks about dreaming that Tom was with someone else… which leads us down a rabbit hole of whether cheating dreams actually mean anything. We also look at one of the most common dreams: your teeth falling out. Is it stress? Losing control? Getting older? Major changes in life? Or could it simply be because you’re grinding your teeth while you sleep?
We also chat about:
• Why English has overwhelmed and underwhelmed… but not “whelmed”
• Strange and useless vocabulary you learn in another language
• Trying to understand different British accents
• Sleep problems and ways people try to fall asleep
• Stress, confidence and body image
• Teeth grinding and sleep guards
• Moving countries and how big life changes affect you
• Parenting and trying to get medical appointments in the UK
• The big Mandarin Monkey website update 🎉
As always, this is a natural bilingual conversation with plenty of real Mandarin and English, random tangents and vocabulary you can pick up from context.
If you're learning Mandarin and want to get more comfortable understanding real spoken Chinese, listen along and see how much you can catch!
