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.
