Daydreams And Night Dreams

Daydreams are a pleasant, dreamlike thinking or wishing; reverie. A pleasing but visionary notion or scheme. Fantasies can be included in daydreams, but fantasies tend to be more intense, deliberate and conscious. There are no hard-and-fast definitions,fantasies and daydreams can be interchangeable, but daydreams are usually something we just slip into.Daydreaming is not only the mind's way of zoning out when reality is less than thrilling, psychologists say, it is also a necessary part of life. And like night dreams, they tell us about our inner workings.Daydreaming is essential, a profound and highly significant human function. Like night dreams, daydreams are expressions of something we are processing--a wish, a dread, or a rehearsal, we let our imagination write the script.Sometimes the Brain Just Wanders Away. Night dreams to me are involuntary. They just come with no control over the outcome. They may be from a fear that has been on your mind or stress that needs to be dealt with, which sometime causes nightmares. You may have a recurring dream, what does that mean? If you have ever had a dream that kept coming back you were experiencing what is known as a recurring dream. This experience is actually fairly common. These dreams are communications from the inner self to the outer self as is the case with all dreams. What makes these unique is that the same events, the same theme or even a series of episodes that occur much like a soap opera, are experienced by the dreamer.Flying is a common dream that often recurs. Many people can recall flying around the countryside swooping down over treetops and houses. When this occurs the dreamer is recognizing the mental and spiritual freedom that truly exists for all mankind. While the physical body has certain limitations, the mind is capable of imagining the tiniest particle of an atom or the depths of the cosmos and beyond. This awareness in the inner levels of consciousness is true freedom.Daydreams can be brought on by just plain boredom, like vacuuming is a boring job, so your mind wonders off into a more pleasant place, a place that you can select. Sitting in the quiet of a warm night outside on the patio is a perfect place for daydreaming at night time. Nothing to disturb this peaceful place of mind, no phones, no one but just you and your thoughts, unlike daytime when the many things can interrupt this blissfulness. On the other hand while you are on a destination, driving for instance and you start daydreaming and thoughts are running ramped from one thing to another then,,, maybe this is not daydreaming at all but "brain overload" trying to sort out some inner feelings or a busy day in which things are not going just right. So, is night time for dreaming? "I wonder"
