× Not really, because since I woke up I do not recall the dream very deliberately, so I usually forget what I had trained in the last night and however sometimes I dream about something very special and I would recall it on deliberately and to share my dream with my friends so.
✓ Not really, because since I woke up I have not recalled my dreams clearly, so I usually forget what I dreamed last night. However, sometimes I dream about something very special and I deliberately remember it and share my dream with my friends.
The original sentence mixes past and present tenses incorrectly and uses awkward adverbs. Use present perfect ('have not recalled') for an action that started in the past and relates to now. Use simple past ('dreamed') for the specific last-night dream. 'Deliberately' should modify 'remember' and 'share' needs to be in correct form. Break long sentence into shorter sentences for clarity.

× I usually forget what I had trained in the last night and however sometimes I dream about something very special and I would recall it on deliberately and to share my dream with my friends so.
✓ I usually forget what I dreamed last night; however, sometimes I dream about something very special and I deliberately remember it and share my dream with my friends.
Use 'last night' without 'in the', and use 'dreamed' not 'trained'. 'On deliberately' is incorrect order; place 'deliberately' before the verb. Also use a semicolon or separate sentences instead of 'and however'. Grammar problem type ID:11
× Yeah, I often share my dreams with my friends or my partners and they usually think that my dream is very interesting to them, since I sometimes think about some unusual things or unusual event.
✓ Yeah, I often share my dreams with my friends or my partners and they usually think that my dreams are very interesting because I sometimes think about unusual things or events.
Subject and verb agreement: 'my dream is' should match plural 'dreams' and 'they'. Also use plural 'events' to agree with 'things'. Replace 'since' with 'because' for clarity. Grammar problem type ID:1
× For example, I once dream about that my teeth fall apart all over the floor and I think that resemble as a sign that I was. Under some pressure at that time.
✓ For example, I once dreamed that my teeth fell out all over the floor and I thought that it was a sign that I was under some pressure at that time.
Use past tense 'dreamed' and 'fell out' for a past event. 'Resemble as a sign' is incorrect — use 'thought that it was a sign'. Combine fragmented sentence 'I was. Under some pressure' into one coherent clause. Grammar problem type ID:5
× So I share those dreams with my friends and families.
✓ So I share those dreams with my friends and my family.
Use 'my family' (singular collective) rather than 'families' when referring to the student's family. Keep pronouns consistent: 'my friends and my family'. Grammar problem type ID:12
× Absolutely. In my opinion, I think there are many dreams such as containing a sign or an animal.
✓ Absolutely. In my opinion, many dreams contain signs or animals.
Avoid redundant phrases ('In my opinion, I think'). Use correct verb 'contain' directly with the object. Use plural 'signs' or 'animals' to generalize. Grammar problem type ID:13
× Those are uh, signals about your, uh, deeper consci consciousness or your, uh, motion emotion at that time.
✓ Those are signals about your deeper consciousness or your emotions at that time.
Use correct nouns 'consciousness' and 'emotions'. Remove filler 'uh' and correct repeated fragments. Use plural 'emotions' to match general meaning. Grammar problem type ID:12
× And for example, in Chinese culture, if uh, some pregnant woman drink about uh, dragon.
✓ For example, in Chinese culture, if a pregnant woman dreams of a dragon,
Use the verb 'dream' not 'drink' for having dreams; use 'dreams of' rather than 'drink about'. Use 'a pregnant woman' or 'pregnant women' for general statements. Grammar problem type ID:8
× They often seen it as a sign that they will give birth to a boy baby.
✓ they often see it as a sign that she will give birth to a baby boy.
Use present simple 'see' for habitual actions. Use 'she' to refer to the pregnant woman singular and correct word order 'baby boy'. Avoid redundant 'boy baby'. Grammar problem type ID:6
× However, if the pregnant woman dream about a phone call, it will be give birth in girl.
✓ However, if a pregnant woman dreams about a phone call, it is taken to mean she will give birth to a girl.
Use present simple 'dreams' for general statements. Use article 'a pregnant woman' or 'the pregnant woman' consistently. Correct passive/expressions: 'it is taken to mean' and 'give birth to a girl' are the proper forms. Grammar problem type ID:17
× It depends on what the dream is, because sometimes I dream about some very dramatic things or very bad things, then I wish that dream will not come true.
✓ It depends on what the dream is, because sometimes I dream about very dramatic or very bad things, and then I wish that the dream would not come true.
Use conditional/modal 'would' to express a wish contrary to reality. Also streamline repetition ('very dramatic or very bad things') and include 'the' before 'dream' to specify. Grammar problem type ID:7
× For example, some Once I dreamed about that I failed a exam before I had the exam the last night and I thought that it was a very unfortunate sign for. Me at that time, however, I passed that exam and I beg not to let this drink happen at that time.
✓ For example, once I dreamed that I failed an exam before I took it the night before, and I thought it was a very unfortunate sign for me at that time. However, I passed that exam and I begged that this dream would not come true.
Fix word order and articles: 'an exam' not 'a exam'. Use 'dreamed that' and 'took it' for taking an exam. Combine fragments and correct 'beg' to past 'begged' and replace 'drink' with 'dream'. Use 'would not come true' for expressing wish about the dream. Grammar problem type ID:26
