I love daydreaming, it is one of the most relaxing a creative parts of my day. Curiously enough it makes me feel like I am still in touch with my inner child. Sometimes I can find that I can find solutions like you said in you article and other times it just helps me use my imagination and becomes entertaining.

Sharyne – It sounds like you are a daydreamer in the best sense of the word.

Hilda – “This beautiful feeling” is a hard one to come by sometimes, but other days it’s as natural as waking up in the morning. I wish you best of luck in pursuing all those plans.

Daydreaming is a way of relaxation from your everyday life. Anything can happen, and you can focus on things and events that can make everything happening. I myself, are a disable person, and have been for 20 years now. When I am very poorly, I do not know this myself, but my partner is telling me, Hilda, you are at your worst after beeing very sick. You always have a lot of plans and activities you want put in to life. And I guess it is true. I have a creative mind, and daydreaming is so nice, the sky is blue and the nature is beautiful and the air fresh and delightful. I always tell my children, – you can be whatever you chose to be. Anything is possible, – it is just to grasp it and go for the task ahead. Dream and think your wishes. Be grateful for something – anything – but get this beautiful feeling that you already have achived it and it is at hand, what you wish for. And except the gift it is to get what you have been dreming of and be thankful for receiving it. The daydreaming is something beutiful – it is for every body, rich and poor, children and adults. A wonderful thing in life! And for those who need it the most it can give hope in a hopeless situation in life. I wish all people to be grateful for the gift of daydreaming.

I find that daydreaming helps me appreciate different parts of my life & helps me to come back into focus who I was born to be. Maybe it’s becuase I’m a Pisces but either way I grew up being told that daydreams were just beautiful flashes of possiblities for the taking!

So, maybe one day I daydreamed I was a superhero or sometimes I like to think of what my future children will be like. Either way daydreams are meant to be warm like sunshine so you can smile, sit back and enjoy.

How interesting, lada. The quote you shared is kind of like the neuroscience of Rumi.

here is something discussing daydreams from WebMDs sister site, Medscape. Unfortunately, it just lacks ALL of the beauty of Rumis’ invitation to step through the now, to the field of dreams…

” distinctions between environmental and internal are arbitrary since a brain is an active interface with the environment. If you have a psychotherapy session and both the patient and the therapist remember something of the event – there are probably neurotransmitter changes that have happened. If you are in a combat situation and see some horrendous incident and start to experience flashbacks – there are probably neurotransmitter changes that have happened. If you are sitting in your office and daydreaming about a pleasant memory from the past – it is the result of neurotransmitters and neural circuits. Neurotransmitters are clearly only part of the picture – but the physical and chemical processes behind human consciousness are critical to everyday experience. “
