A man was sitting in his doctor’s office. He was telling the doctor about his problem.

“I like football, you know, doctor,” he said. “And my wife has never been good to me since I became interested in it. She often hears me shouting in my dreams(夢). Night after night, when I close my eyes, I’m out there on the field and running after flying ball. When I wake up, I always feel tired. I’m getting thinner and thinner. So, what am I going to do?”

The doctor sat back and said, “First, you will have to try your best not to dream about football. When you close your eyes, try to think about something else. Try to think, for example, that you are at a party or someone is going to give you several million dollars…”
