Like other countries, in Korea, there are blind date, meeting by dating agency, a marriage by arrangement, group meeting, hunting, lightning meeting and so on. However, it is a little unfamiliar with some strange names which are hunting or lightning meeting, because those names are created recently as a coined word. 'Hunting' happens on the strret with stranger. If a man win a his favor a girl, he may give his information such as his name and phone unmber. On the other hand, 'lightning meeting' is the meeting by the internet. At first, it largely tooks place on the internet while people are talking. Later, they may meet each other if they felt to fit. But these meeting are not commonm, but sometimes young people do. From now on I will tell my situation about my present love. In the case of me, I met my boy friend by group meeting that is similar to the blind meeting, but the difference is the number of people. I went to a restaurant to meet some men with my friends. That meeting had three men and three women. One of the men expressed his feeling to me, and he was doing everything he could to win my love. Finally, we fall in love with each other. Like my case, these meeting are very common to young people in Korea.

Summary of “What is a dream?”

According to the Sunday Times in “What is a dream?”, experts who make a special study of dreams state that people should not take their dreams as actuality. People adopt dreams as necessary to a person’s feeling and bodily peace. A long time ago, people regarded dreams as a revelation of God. In the twentieth century, considering that dreams represent people’s personalities, people started to study dreams. First of all, the Sunday Times mentioned Freud’s theory, wish-fulfillment. That said dreams allow a person to express illusions and fright, which would be unacceptable in actual life. Secondly, the Sunday Times mentioned Jung’s compensation theory. By his theory, dreams can give people what they need. So Jung claims that people have to learn from their dreams. The Sunday Times also introduced psychologist Domhoff, who argued that dreams related to a person’s waking hours, thoughts, and behavior. Domhoff said dreams especially related with age, gender, and culture. And it is different between men and women. The Sunday Times said that the dream is a mental skill which requires time to improve in humans. In conclusion, the Sunday Times insists that the dreams have a meaning but we don't always know it.
