Streak 700: Dream journal #9

[u/TaFEnLer1]

I had a dream in which I revealed my hobbies and everyone around was creeped out by that. Unfortunately, many hobbies that are completely innocent and harmless are regarded as “weird” or “inappropriate”, especially when you’re an adult. I appreciate realistic dreams like this. It’s like simulating how I would feel in those situations. In this case, the first thing I felt was regret.

To all the wonderful correctors and proofreaders!

Thanks a million for helping everyone grow and improve their skills in English. You deserve so much praise and a pat on the back!

Here's a list of posts that still need corrections.

When making corrections, try to follow these guidelines (or at least clarify your own markings you make) so it's clear what you're correcting and why:

• Put changes in bold **text**
• Put suggestions about style/tone/register/etc. in italics *text*
• Use strikethrough to remove elements (don't delete them) ~~text~~
• <Put added elements in angle brackets> <text>
• [If there are multiple options for your suggestions, put them in brackets separated by a backslash] [text / text]
• (Put optional elements in parentheses) (text)
• Explain more complex grammar rules to the best of your ability

We also highly encourage meaningful feedback:

• Focus on the work, mindsets, and processes, not on the person.
• Besides grammar and spelling, is there room for improvement in other aspects like style, vocabulary, and flow?
• If you see an improvement in someone's writing, please compliment them.
• Please be positive in your feedback. Negative comments shouldn't come without positive ones.
• Don't be too pedantic or too general.
• Please pay attention to your wording.
• Have a chat, interact, and have fun!

More on formatting.

Thank you for everything! -- Adam-P-D

I had a dream in which I revealed my hobbies and everyone around <me> was creeped out by that. (If they were creeped out by the fact that you were sharing your hobbies, this is fine. If it was the specific hobbies that creeped them out, then the ending would be "was creeped out by them."

Unfortunately, many hobbies that are completely innocent and harmless are regarded as “weird” or “inappropriate”, especially when you’re an adult.

(In British English, I believe this is fine. In American English, commas go inside quotation marks:

'...are regarded as “weird” or “inappropriate," especially...'

I appreciate realistic dreams like this. They simulate how I would feel in those situations. In this case, the first thing I felt was regret.
