Do you ever wake up and remember where you are, only to realize you weren’t sleeping? You are actually standing, in the middle of the sidewalk, staring up towards the sky?
Everyone daydreams, everyone imagine life in a different place or time. It is the manifestation of your hopes and desires…sometimes your fears. But do yours ever get in the way of ‘real life’?
I used to love to daydream; I have a wonderful imagination that beats the heck out of any book or TV show. I find it’s very much like meditation – concentrated thought. Lately, however, I have been feeling like my imagination has been taking over, it has more control than before. I find myself really disconnected, almost disoriented, from what’s really going on around me. And when I ‘wake up’ I need a moment or two to get myself together. My memories of my real life come flooding in and it overwhelms me. This kind of realization is very new, it makes me feel uncomfortable and totally out of control.
On the other hand maybe it’s good for someone like me to lose a little control. The daydreams I experience are all positive thoughts, they are uplifting and motivating, so what’s wrong if I completely lose touch for a moment or two?
