Dream-selling Custom
I’m helping English translation for my friend's M/A degree dissertation, these days. My friend started to get super nervous as the deadline approaches, so one day I asked my friend, "I had a really nice dream yesterday, would you like to buy my dream?" then my friend said "What are you talking about? How can I "buy" your dream?"? In fact, my friend is Canadian, my friends said that in the West there is no culture to buy and sell dreams like Korea.
I’ve heard that dreams are important in the West as much as in Korea, and the concept of interpretation of dream exists in there as well, so I thought there would be customs like buy and sell dreams like us.
In Korea, we sell the dream if we think someone else needs the luck. We usually use cash when trading dreams. The best dream is a dream of a pig because pig is a symbol of MONEY, so people love to buy pig's dream the most
I wonder if selling dream is only Korea's unique culture or another country has a similar custom.
I dream more often than other people, and when I was a child, if I had a special dream at night, I always talked to my mother next morning. Sometimes(depending on my dream), my Mom said, "Wait, wait a minute!" and she took out $1 from her wallet and gave me. And said “Tell me that you sold your dream to me, and then talk about the rest of your dream. Also, you shouldn’t tell your dream to other people okay?” Sometimes I sell my dream to my Dad or my grandmother. It sounds so funny but it was normal to sell my dream to someone. And yesss, this is how I made my pocket money when I was young ;)
In fact, something has never happened to those who bought my dreams. So I think it is not that effective hahaha
But how cool it would be if we can buy and sell our dreams for real. Then I could sell my dreams all to you guys.
Hope you have a great day :) Thank you!
