Tourist Guide: So, here we are at “La
Plaza Grande” and there is a particular
story I’d like to share with you. It’s
about Ana Bermeo who used to live in
Quito and was very popular. Have you
ever heard of her?
Tourist 1 (male voice): I have. Back in
1950, she was a middle-aged woman
who had such a very particular taste in
vintage dresses. As a matter of fact,
what made people notice her was her
antique 1850s clothing! Basically, she
walked the streets of Quito in clothes
from 100 years before.
Tourist 2 (elderly voice): She did
what?! Was she born in Quito?
Tourist Guide: The truth is she wasn’t.
She was born in Tungurahua.
According to local people, people
decided to call her “La Torera”
c because her outfit looked like a
bullfighter.
Tourist 1 (male voice): Unbelievable!
Tourist 2 (female voice): I guess she
was quite a character, right?
Tourist 1 (male voice): I am pretty sure
she was.
Tourist Guide: Right. She did not care
what other people said about her
clothing.
Tourist 2 (elderly voice): She was very
brave.
Tourist Guide: She was, indeed.
Tourist 1 (male voice): The story about
her must be very famous around here.
Tourist Guide: It is. People in their 60s,
and beyond, recall her.
Tourist 2 (elderly voice): I think you
might hear of people like her in every
corner around the world. You see,

Tourist 2 (elderly voice): “La Rotonda”
sounds like a circle place to me.
Tourist 3 (female voice): I see two men
shaking their hands. Who are they?
Tourist Guide: I’m glad you asked. They
are Simón Bolívar and San Martín. They
shook their hands in 1822.
Tourist 1 (male voice): How come?
Tourist Guide: Both talked about the future
of Guayaquil and South America in terms of
its freedom.

monument is a symbol.

What’s wrong with you?
Marco: Hey Lucy. You see, I keep having
the same dream, and I always fall.
Lucy: Mmm… I see. Do you feel like you
are falling from your bed?
Marco: Yes! That’s what happens to me
every night. I don’t know why.
Lucy: Do you hit with something?
Marco: No. I just fall from my bed and I
wake up,
Lucy: Have you asked a specialist? Or did
you look for information about that?
Marco: Well, I read on a webpage that I’m
a really nervous person who needs to make
more friends, and then an ad for making
friends appeared on a social network.
Lucy: (laughs) I see… I read in a
neuroscience book that your dream can
happen because you’re so relaxed when
you sleep that your brain “thinks” you’re
dead, so it sends a sort of energy shocks to
“prove” you’re not. It feels as you
explained, you feel you fall from the bed
and you wake up suddenly.
Marco: Wow! That’s amazing. I didn’t
know that. I thought I had a real problem.
What can I do when that happens again?

slowly. Your only problem is that you relax
a lot when you sleep.

I had to take an exam, but I didn’t study.
You know, it’s terrible. You feel desperate
and anxious.
Marco: Did you find out the meaning of the
dream?
Lucy: Not really. It’s weird. I had those
dreams when I was in the final exams week.
It is not nice to have those feelings during
that week.
Marco: Definitely. I had the same dream
some weeks ago. You want to run away
from the class. I think that happens because
you’re nervous and you’re afraid of failing
the exam.
Lucy: Yeah, and it’s also you have
something important to do.
Marco: I think so. I also dreamt… don’t
laugh… I had to go to the bathroom
urgently! And I really have to go before an
accident happens.
Lucy: (laughs) I’m sorry. It may happen
when you drank too much water before
sleeping. It’s normal to have that dream.
It’s your brain which tells you to go to the
bathroom. You know, when you’re sleeping
you aren’t conscious of that need, so your
brain helps you in your dreams.
Marco: Wow, Lucy. You know the scientific
meaning of dreams.
