Daydream Believer

"the limits of my daydreams are the limits of my world"

Throughout my undistinquished and limited scholastic career there was always one constant I can remember. Every report card I carted home to my disappointed mother always seemed to be annotated with this....."Edward could do much better but he spends too much time daydreaming". Lucky for me, as Mark Twain said...I never let me schooling, interfere with my education.

My teachers were in full agreement that the only thing that seperated me from doing my mother proud was my lack of discipline and interest. I'm sure if they could of, they would have advised mom to lower her expectations with this child. But little did they know that while I was daydreaming about riding my bike or that pretty little thing across the aisle, I was actually developing my creative muscle. I was growing more neuron connections for future use.

"our brains are much more activated when we daydream"

That is the findings of a recent study published by the prestigous Academy of Sciences. They discovered that the activity of numerous regions of our brains increases as our minds wander. Previously they had believed that our brains went dormant when we daydream. The common belief was that mind-wandering was associated with laziness.....FOOLS!

"we can spend one third of our waking time daydreaming" (unless you are Eduardo, in which case it can be much longer)

This latest study shows that our brains are very active when we daydream. And it is in doing routine tasks (like doing homework I presume) that the brain goes on vacation and slows down. HUH!

"so what does this mean"

They could have saved their money on this study. Just look at Mr. Big Brains....Albert Einstien, he discovered the 'Theory of Relativity' by daydreaming about riding on sunbeam (and you thought I was nuts). Truth is most of the great creative discoveries are made by daydreaming. In short us daydreamers are the one's that change the world. We should be admired and given free tropical vacations that last all winter long. We could save your little planet if you but recognized the source of our brillance.

"putting off daydreaming until the work is done, is a lot like putting off sex until you get old"

Now if you will excuse me, I'm going to find a place in the sun and do some serious daydreaming!
