5.This Way to DreamlandDaydreaming means people think about something pleasant,especially when this makes them forget what they should be doing.Daydreamers have a bad reputation for being unaware of what's happening around them.They can seem forgetful and clumsy.(76)BThey 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.(77)CCan 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.(78)EAnd 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,1ike 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.(79)A
Finally,you never know what wonderful idea might strike while your mind has moved slowly away.(80)F
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.They stare off into space and wander by themselves.
C.Without wandering minds,we wouldn't have relativity,Coke or Post-it notes.
D.At one time,daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illnesses.
