Transcript Walter: Hi Yuna. Yuna: Hi. Walter: I know that you like to talk about dreams. Yuna: Yes. Yes, it’s one of my favorite subjects. Walter: In what level? Yuna: I like to know about other people's dreams, anything related to dreams. I like to analyze them at a spiritual level sometimes, it depends, and also at a psychoanalysis level too. Not that I know much about that, but I think it's very interesting. Walter: It’s a deep approach. Yuna: Yeah. Walter: Do you have any study about dreams? Yuna: Ah, no, not really. I'm just interested, so... once I... I didn't read the whole book, but I was interested in Freud's theory about the interpretation of dreams, but I didn't actually read the book. But I think that it's nice to get to know about what some elements in your dream can mean, like for example, I know that water in your dreams relates to something emotional. Walter: That’s interesting. Yuna: Yes, not like, not necessarily every time, but it can be related to your emotions. I like those things. Walter: Do you have another example? Yuna: I think once I've been told, if I remember correctly, that there is this recurring dream that some people have that they dream that their teeth are falling out, and I have this dream every now and then. I remember being told that it relates to something about your childhood, because that was the time when you were actually losing your teeth, so it's something related to your childhood somehow, it depends on the rest of the context. Walter: But there are dreams that are not related to anything. You dream with people that you haven't seen in ages. Do you understand? Yuna: Yes . Walter: Situations that you have never been involved in. I think these are meaningful dreams, I believe them, they have a meaning. Yuna: I mentioned, like, deep meanings in dreams, but I also like dreams that are nonsensical, dreams that are just funny, I really enjoy talking about them too. And I wanted to ask you, do you think that dreams can foresee the future somehow? Walter: Yeah. Yuna: Yeah? Walter: There are dreams... I have dreamed of a problem, I have dreamed about the solution to a problem. Yuna: Oh really? Walter: I slept with the problem and dreamed about the solution. Yuna: Great. Walter: I wanted very much to solve it for the next day, and the solution came ready. I believe that it has an explanation, your brain was sleepy and tired after a working day and you couldn’t think about the solution, and then when you rest you are able to find ways. Yuna: Do you usually recall your dreams? Can you remember them when you wake up? Walter: Not always... Not always I remember them. I remember close to the fact, but after some time, as everything in your brain, it’s cleaned up.

Transcript Daniel: So, hello Yuna, how are you today? Yuna: Hey. I’m well, thanks for asking. How are you? Daniel: I’m okay. So, do you consider yourself a shy person? Yuna: Yes, I do. Even though when I say this to people, some of them say “no, you're not shy at all”. But I do feel shy, maybe I trick people into thinking I'm not shy, but It’s just a mask or something. And you? Daniel: Yeah, you don’t seem shy. Yuna: Really? Yeah, I hear that a lot. Daniel: Yeah, I also consider myself very shy. I try to hide it, but I'm not sure if I do it very well. And how do you deal with that? How do you think that impacts your life? Yuna: So, I've been trying to expose myself a lot, and it's uncomfortable, I think that's what shyness is about for me. I am able to talk to people and do things in general, deal with social interactions, but the thing is I feel uncomfortable doing it most of the time. And then I'm trying to cope with that by exposing myself a lot and realizing that it's fine, I survive that, and I'm getting more and more used to doing this, so I think I am little by little overcoming my shyness. Daniel: That's great, that's great. Yuna: How do you feel? What does it feel like being a shy person for you? Daniel: Yeah, it's very similar to what you said. I can force myself to behave socially, but it's hard. Sometimes I need to prepare myself before... prepare psychologically, or I get very nervous. But, yeah, I'm not sure if I'm getting better at it, I don’t know if I’m overcoming it. It’s really annoying, honestly, to feel this way. Yuna: Yes, I agree. It’s just this huge discomfort, it’s not... I don't know. I think there are shy people that are okay with being shy, it's just like “I don't feel comfortable in this situation so I just avoid this situation and it's fine”, and I wish I was more like that, but I do the opposite “Oh, I am uncomfortable in this situation? So I'm going to do this more and more until I’m not uncomfortable anymore”. Daniel: That’s a great position to have, you're facing your... problems, in a way, and trying to improve. Yuna: Yeah, yeah, I like to think so. And once you're closer to a person, does the shyness go away for you? Daniel: I guess it gets easier, I think, to deal with it. It lessens a little bit. And for you, how is it? Yuna: Yeah, it's the same. I think that... I feel like every time I see my friends again, even if we have a 10 year long relationship, I will be shy in the beginning of the interaction every time. Daniel: But it gets easier. Yuna: Yeah, it fades away with time.

Amanda: Hi Camila, I'm sorry I'm late. How long have you been waiting for? Camila: Hey Amanda. Not long, don't worry. So, what's up with you? Amanda: I have been working, and it's really cold here in Minas Gerais. I heard it's very cold in São Paulo. So, how has the weather been there? Camila: Here in the south it's very, very cold, and it actually snowed a few days ago in the mountains here. Speaking of which, have you ever seen snow? Amanda: No, no, I've never seen snow. I've never left Brazil, I've never left the southeast of Brazil, because I know it's been snowing in the south. Camila: I've seen snow, and I've done snowboarding once. Amanda: What... How was it? Camila: It was... painful to be honest, because you're not really prepared to be standing on the snow. It's very nerve wracking, and you need to be better prepared, so I'm glad I've only done this once. Amanda: But where was it? Camila: It was in the United States, in Connecticut. And I went there with a friend, and I remember that day I fell a lot of times on the snow, and my friend was always making fun of me, and making videos of me. Now it's funny to tell the story, but at the time it was very, very painful, because it really hurts when you fall on the snow. Amanda: I don't have any funny story to tell about that, because I've never seen snow, so... Camila: Would you like to? Amanda: Yes, I would love to. Camila: I have never done snowman. It was never something that I thought of doing, but I did do the snow angel, you know, where you lay down on the ground, and then you move your arms and your legs. It was pretty cool, I've done it once. Amanda: That's amazing then. Camila: Yeah, the kids love it. Amanda: Well, it was great catching up, Amanda. Camila: Yes, thank you.

Daniel: So Hugo, I heard that you had to go to the hospital, what happened? Hugo: I fell off a horse. Daniel: Oh my god, how? What happened? Tell me the story. Hugo: I went to a farm hotel with my wife, my mother in law, and we went to have a nice day there, to relax, and at the end of the day we decided to ride a horse. There were horses that you could rent a ride, and it didn't go very well for me. Daniel: Was it the first time that you were riding a horse? Hugo: No, no. It was the second or third time. But the thing was an accident. I was riding the horse, but we were going very slowly, and my horse was basically walking. But out of nowhere, a dog came running from the woods on the side, and the horse got scared, and it did something that I can't explain, and I fell from the horse to the ground, yes, it was bare ground. Daniel: But, did you hurt yourself bad? Hugo: Yes. No, not bad no. Just a little bit. Yeah I just got a big bruise on my leg and on my back, and I've got a friction burn on my left arm. Daniel: So it was not so serious but you did hurt yourself, right? Hugo: Yes I hurt myself and then I had to wait for the rescue to come, because at the time we didn’t know if it was something serious or not. Daniel: Okay, okay. Hugo: So I had to wait for the ambulance. Daniel: So did you call an ambulance, and? Hugo: Yes, we called an ambulance, and it broke down on the way, and then I had to wait for a second ambulance to get to the hospital, and the farm hotel is a little far from my city, so I was moved to another city, and then I had to come home afterwards... yeah. Daniel: Wow, what a journey. Thank god it was nothing serious, right, because it took so long. Hugo: Yeah, it's nothing serious, just annoying. Now I need to go to the hospital every so often to change the wound dressing on my burn, but otherwise I'm fine. Daniel: Glad you're better now, because that sounds like not a very good experience to have Hugo: Actually I think it's okay, it’s something to tell my grandchildren when I'm old.
