Daydreaming is one of the best activities.

I’ve been a rockstar, an adventurer and my favorite, an FBI agent. Without it, we won’t have something to endure high school mathematics. Or boring seminars.
It’s a source of innovation. I’m an ambitious man and I think of speeding my dream car and holding that check with a long tail of zeros (ahh, that feels so good). It keeps me updated with what I want to have and to be.
There’s almost no room in daydreaming. It is seen as a lazy act because instead of doing something, you just stare blankly while mind is in fantasy. Daydreaming can misidentify fantasy from reality, and that kind is correlated with almost all psychopathological disorders, says the study of Eric Klinger and colleagues.
Don’t be worried, daydreamer. We are all crazy in our own ways; and there is a second component of the same daydreaming study. Enjoyment of imagination, daydreaming and positive-constructive daydreaming isn’t related to any psychopathy. They make “life meaningful”.
Dream big but stay on reality’s ground. Forgive me for divulging Professor Dumbledore in this topic, but what he said secured the essence of what I’m trying to point out. He says, “It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live”.
Dreaming is of paramount value in our lives because we’re looking forward and it’s just good by nature. But we have to act on it and continue living. Don’t expect someone to hand your dreams to you.
I have daydreams that are very attainable baby steps that lead to a bigger life goal, and I have daydreams that are just wild – I’ve been the most moody yet badass FBI agent. What’s your wildest daydream?

So true. It’s easy to get caught up in the daydreams, but what good are they if we dont’ act on them?
The key in life is balance, in almost any area! So… some time with your head in the clouds… coupled with ample time spent with feet on the ground… and it’s all good! Our hearts desires manifest first in the mind!
If one doesn’t dream, one doesn’t achieve the things that dreams are made of. I am a confessed dreamer. And proud of it! 🙂
My dreams…I hope they come true although it will come with lots of hard work from me. I’m new in this blog world…trying to encourage and help others though my own journey of getting heathy, stronger and smaller. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you visit again.
I think most things that we do with our lives starts with a day dream … was daydreaming through my school time and … I came out good in the end. Could probably done a lot better if I had paid a little more attention – but I have traveled the world, made good money and had an exciting life … and it all started with my daydreams, I was 8 when I started to dream about travelling and changing my life.
Every major accomplishment starts with an idea, a dream, if you will. Dreams make things happen, IF you act on them.
I’ve been countless people and things. But the ones I’ve been most are the ones I picked out to really be. Cool blog, cool topics.
I can think of any number of cliches to say why daydreaming is not bad for you and yes you have to act on them. As with anything, you have to put effort behind it! Daydreamers are not psychopaths, they are the ones people deem ‘crazy’ because they have the balls to step outside the norm. Even if they know they will be ridiculed for it.
i think day dreams sometimes are better than the reality. nice to be a genius scientist who made some wild discovery, but nice to stop being one whenever you want and sleep all day
