"Einstein, for instance, was notorious for his wandering mind ".

"We can leave behind the world as it is and start imagining the world as it might be, It is this ability to tune out the present moment and contemplate the make-believe that separates the human mind from every other".

"Daydreaming builds on this fundamental capacity people have for being able to project themselves into imaginary situations, like the future, "Without that skill, we'd be pretty limited creatures."

very important !

You would be in a bondage of sorts wouldn't you? Sometimes I relax the most when my mind wanders . . .

I was going to comment but, um, let's see . . .

The thing is that much of the time people are not really daydreaming, they're just plain bored...
interesting though

I do that a lot and it feels like it sucks the time of my life into nothing.

I even set time limits for everything to decrease that wandering.

In this world, there is an optimum amount for everything .

Some people who daydream become unintentional liars. They speak their daydreams out loud and they in turn become the dreamers truth.

That is a really lovely comment Tany

They who dream by day are cognizant of many things which
escape those who dream only by night.
