I am a big dreamer in life. I'm not just talking about dreaming at night, I'm talking about daydreaming. I guess you could sortof call it a type of pastime for me. I'm a hopeless dreamer, kindof like how some people can be described as hopeless romantics. There is something so magical about daydreaming. Dreams can escape the laws of reality and transcend the bonds of time. I find that when I daydream I feel liberated and alive. I can take myself to a new place, a new time, a new life. I dream about the future, I dream about the past, I dream about the present. I have many many dreams and ideals and perfect situations that I can imagine up in my mind. I can start out with one concept or idea and make it branch off into a thousand different scenarios. I am one of those people that can sit there and think for hours and hours and I can literally amuse and entertain myself with my own thoughts for who knows how long. You know those questions about "if you were stuck on an island what would you do?" Well most likely I would just end up just sitting there thinking and daydreaming to entertaining myself.
Jennifer has talked a bit about trying to dream lucidly, or basically recognizing the fact that your in a state of dreaming and then trying to directly control the dream itself without ever leaving your state of dreaming. I guess my daydreaming is quite similar to this concept in a way.
Besides dreaming, I think about things a great deal. That doesn't necessarily mean that I find the answers to the things I am thinking about, but I love to think all the same. I generally tend to delve into big ideas and concepts. I enjoy taking a huge idea or concept that I haven't really figured out yet and wrapping my mind around it and wrestling with it and completely reducing it and digging around it until I can shrink it into those one or two basic fundamental elements and principles that prove or disprove the whole theory. It is a bit like a mental excercise to me. The more I excercise my mindpower with reason and with logic conclusions the easier it becomes to think about life itself. Right?
Im not sure what the whole point of this blog was really. I guess I just wanted to talk deeply for a minute. The governing laws and mysteries of life really fascinate me and I wish I had more people to talk to about them. But most people think I'm crazy and laugh that I would think about half the stuff that I do. I guess thats why I'm here writing it in my blog.
The end.
