This Way to Dreamland
Daydreaming means people think about something pleasant, especially when this makes them forget what they should be doing. 1. They can seem forgetful and clumsy. They stare off into space and wander by themselves. They annoy us because they seem to be ignoring us and missing the important things.
But daydreamers are also responsible for some of the greatest ideas and achievements in human history. 2. Can you imagine what kind of world we would have without such ideas and inventions?
So how can you come up with brilliant daydreams and avoid falling over tree roots or otherwise looking like a fool?
First, understand that some opportunities for daydreaming are better than others. Feeling safe and relaxed will help you to slip into daydreams. 3. And if you want to improve your chances of having a creative idea while you’re daydreaming, try to do it while you are involved in another task—preferably something simple, like taking a shower or walking, or even making meaningless drawings.
It’s also important to know how to avoid daydreams for those times when you really need to concentrate. “Mindfulness”, being focused, is a tool that some people use to avoid falling asleep. 4.
Finally, you never know what wonderful idea might strike while your mind has moved slowly away. Therefore, it’s a good idea to keep a notebook or voice recorder nearby when you are in the daydream zone.
Always remember that your best ideas might come when your head is actually in the clouds.
A.Having interesting things to think about also helps.
B.Without wandering minds, we wouldn’t have relativity or Post-it notes.
C.At one time, daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illnesses.
D.Daydreamers have a bad reputation for being unaware of what’s happening around them.
E.It involves slow, steady breathing for self-control that helps people stay calm.
F.Daydreams are often very simple and direct, quite unlike sleep dreams, which may be hard to understand
