Have you ever been in a meeting while someone was making a speech and realized suddenly that your 　36 　was a million miles away? You probably felt 　37　 and made up your mind to pay attention and never daydream again. Most of us, from earliest school　 38 　, have been told that daydreaming is a waste of time.

“ On the contrary, ” says L. Giambra, an expert in psychology, “ daydreaming is quite　 39　 . Without it, the mind couldn’t get done all the　 40　 it has to do during a normal day. You can’t possibly do all your thinking with a conscious mind. 　41　 　, your unconscious mind is working out problems all the time. Daydreaming then may be one 　42 　in which the unconscious and conscious　 43　 of mind have silent dialogue.”

Early experts in psychology paid no attention to the importance of 　44 or even considered them harmful. At one time daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental 　45　 . They did not have a better understanding of daydreams 　46 　the late 1980s. Eric Klinger, a professor of psychology, is the writer of the book Daydreaming. Klinger says, “ We 　47 　now that daydreaming is one of the main ways that we　 48　 our lives, learn from our experiences, and plan for our future. ” Daydreams are really a reflection(反映)on the things we 　49 　or the things we long for in life.

Daydreams are usually very simple and 　50 　, quite unlike sleep dreams, which may be 　51 　to understand. It’s easier to gain a 　52 　understanding of your life by paying close attention to your daydreams than by trying to examine your sleep dreams carefully. Daydreams help one 　53 　the difficult situations in life and find out a possible way for dealing with them.

Daydreams cannot be predicted(预知). They move off in 　54 　directions, which may be creative and full of useful ideas. For many famous artists and scientists, daydreams were, and are a main source of creative energy.

So next time you catch 　55 　daydreaming, don’t stop. Just pay attention to your dreams. They may be more important than you think.
