On the 12/7/2020 (Sun) broadcast of the TOKYO FM radio program “Sugisaki Hana’s Flower TOKYO” (every Sunday from 8:00 to 8:30).
Previously, Sugisaki Hana had heard from a friend that “doing calculations in your dreams will make you a genius,” and listeners shared their experiences.
Sugisaki Hana: 20 years old, Saitama Prefecture, “corn flake addict.”
…It’s delicious, isn’t it? I know (laughs).
Listener email: Good morning, Ohana.
Sugisaki Hana: Good morning.
Listener email: I enjoy listening to “Flower TOKYO” every week.
Sugisaki Hana: Thank you.
Listener email: There’s something I want you to know about what Ohana said the other day that “doing calculations in your dreams will make you smarter.”
I learned abacus when I was in elementary school, but I wasn’t very good at “multiplication.”
Then one night, someone taught me “multiplication” in my dream.
I could only see the other person’s hands. This is true!
…and ever since then, I can do multiplication! I believe the story that Ohana heard from her friend that “doing calculations in your dreams will make you smarter.”
Sugisaki Hana: That’s amazing! (laughs).
Yeah…that’s amazing. So this is true after all.
Hmm…I wonder why? In a dream?
But you know. I was just thinking, but the cornflake addict who couldn’t do multiplication “enough to make it appear in her dreams” wanted to “try harder,” right?
No, that’s why it’s like that after all.
Does it mean that it appears in your dreams because you are “working hard and seriously at your studies”?
…Ah. Maybe that’s why you didn’t have any dreams (about calculations) (laughs).
Wow, that’s amazing.
But it’s impressive. Isn’t it impressive? To be able to work hard like that. Amazing.
That’s nice…but it’s impressive.
Congratulations. For being able to do multiplication.
But who told you that?
I could only see the other person’s hand. Huh…?
Well, I guess the saying that “if you dream of doing calculations in your dream, you will become a genius” is true… (laughs).
Thank you for your message.
