× Actually at night I can see so many dreams at night but umm umm most of the times whenever I wake up I am totally I don't have any idea how what was the dream.
✓ Actually, at night I see so many dreams, but most of the time whenever I wake up, I have no idea what the dream was.
The original sentence incorrectly mixes present and past tenses and uses awkward phrasing. 'Can see' is better as 'see' to express habitual action. 'Most of the times' should be 'most of the time' as 'time' is uncountable here. 'I am totally I don't have any idea how what was the dream' is ungrammatical; it should be 'I have no idea what the dream was' to correctly express lack of memory about the past dream.
× So I always umm for forget about the dreams I had but some.
✓ So I always forget about the dreams I had, except for some.
The phrase 'for forget about' is incorrect; the preposition 'for' should be removed. Also, the sentence is incomplete and unclear; adding 'except for some' clarifies that some dreams are remembered. This correction improves clarity and grammatical correctness.
× Yes, it is very interesting for me to share my dream with others whenever I recall it and I had uh, uh, every visual.
✓ Yes, it is very interesting for me to share my dreams with others whenever I recall them, and I have every visual detail.
The singular 'dream' should be plural 'dreams' to match 'whenever I recall them'. Also, 'I had uh, uh, every visual' is awkward and incorrect; 'I have every visual detail' is clearer and grammatically correct. This correction addresses number agreement and clarity.
× So, uh, most of the times they are not realistic and it's very funny story to be told to others and I.
✓ So, most of the time they are not realistic, and they are very funny stories to tell others.
'Most of the times' should be 'most of the time' as 'time' is uncountable here. 'It's very funny story' is incorrect; it should be plural 'they are very funny stories' to agree with 'they'. The sentence ending with 'and I' is incomplete and removed for clarity.
× I personally do not believe like that.
✓ I personally do not believe that.
The phrase 'believe like that' is ungrammatical; the correct expression is 'believe that' to introduce a clause. This correction improves grammatical correctness and clarity.
× Uh, I think it's our uh, unconscious mind which make the dreams umm, in the daytime when we have unconscious umm, mind thinking about something and in uh at night we have the same type of dream.
✓ Uh, I think it's our unconscious mind which makes the dreams, umm, in the daytime when we have unconscious mind thinking about something, and at night we have the same type of dream.
The verb 'make' should be 'makes' to agree with the singular subject 'mind'. Also, 'unconscious umm, mind' is redundant; 'unconscious mind' suffices. The sentence is restructured slightly for clarity and grammatical correctness.
× There are few times when I want my dreams to become true.
✓ There are a few times when I want my dreams to come true.
'There are few times' implies almost none; 'a few times' means some, which fits the intended meaning better. Also, 'become true' is less common than 'come true' when referring to dreams. This correction improves meaning and idiomatic usage.
× Uh, for for example, I, I would say like I once I had a dream that I am getting married, umm, having spiritual umm, team, uh, uh, in the gurdwara and I always.
✓ Uh, for example, I would say that once I had a dream that I was getting married, having a spiritual team in the gurdwara, and I always...
The phrase 'I am getting married' should be in past tense 'I was getting married' to match the past context of 'I had a dream'. 'Having spiritual umm, team' is unclear; 'having a spiritual team' is clearer. The sentence is incomplete but corrected for tense and clarity as much as possible.
