This article examines the extent to which dream narratives have a special function in the formation of ego identity. The answer to this question is based on a connection of culturalhistorical psycholinguistic and psychoanalytical perspectives. To begin with, the importance of narratives for the formation of ego identity is discussed by pointing out that narratives form an interface between external, communicative and internal, self-directed speech processes as well as in the transition fromunconscious to conscious processes. Dreamnarration and their unique access to the unconscious are examined. The special nature of dream narration in relation to narratives of real experiences and narratives of thoughts result in a continuum of different narrative qualities. Dream narratives, due to their more direct access to the unconscious, have their own significance for the formation of ego identity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article highlights the difficulties arising when conducting listening comprehension in modern English language teaching methodology. The article analyzes in detail the main difficulties students face during the language learning process, especially when acquiring auditory skills. The results of the analysis suggest that the mastery of such a language activity as listening comprehension allows a person to understand clearly what is being communicated to them and to respond adequately to what is said, helps correctly present their response to the opponent, which account for the dialogic speech basis. In order not to make the language learning process successful and fruitful, both educators and students should be able to identify, realize, analyze and overcome the obstacles encountered in the process of teaching and mastering listening comprehension.
