  1. I believe that people daydream for the following reasons rather than just boredum. I believe daydreams are fantisys that someone pursues due to the fact of love, friendship, or strong feelings towards someone or an object. People also may daydream about and unrealistic dream that may never come true for one and only get acheived in a daydream. Daydreams are important to have because know one else can hear or see them besides the person pursing them and they are a private conversation you need to have with yourself.

  2. Sitting in school thinking about what you could be doing that moment instead of being in school. Then, slowly you start drifting into a day dream. Maybe, you are drifting into a day dream because you are board, but maybe you aren’t board. I believe that people day dream for several reasons. People may, day dream to help sort their thought or help make an important decision. A day dream may help people sort their thoughts or make an important decision by helping them predict how an important decision may affect them in the future. This is why I believe that people day dream.

  3. There are a couple of reasons that people could daydream. One of these reasons would because they are trying to escape reality. The reality they could be escaping the reality that someone is always controlling their life. This would be most common among teenagers or people who have controlling spouses. Another reason that someone would daydream could be that they are trying to have fun when they know that in reality they really cannot.

  5. My favorite daydream is probably when I am dirt biking. I dream that I am jumping over fire, water, and other obstacles, sort of like Evel Knievel. It is fun to ride dirt bike in daydreams because I won't hurt myself or others. I can perfect each and every jump and obstacle, and speed up whenever necessary. Because I own a dirt bike in real life, this is what I daydream about the most.

  6. 2.) People daydream because sometimes they get bored and they end up thinking of something that interests them. Sometimes people daydream because metally, they are not into a situation or problem, so they think of something else to do. Other people daydream because they might have been tired the night before, so they slowly doze off and dream of things that they like.

  7. My favorite daydream was when I dreamed about going hunting and shooting a really big deer. I think that the reason that people daydream is because they are trying to escape the reality that they are living in. They want to make an alternate reality for themselves so that they can make believe their life is interesting. Many times the people that do this are living boring lives that they wish were different but they realize that they cannot do anything about it. They often are just trying to make their lives worth living.

  8. I think people daydream to escape reality and have some fun. Others may daydream to think what life might be like if they were someone else. People also daydream because they are reading a book and trying to understand what is going on. Maybe one is trying to escape into a different world when getting bullied. Also when one is thinking ablout this to do and how the future may go.

  9. Other than boredom, daydreams can be a sorce of inspiration. It allows your imagination to run free and make up a story or place of its own. It can be useful for someone writing a book, making a video game, or anything else that requires creativity. Like in the story about Walter Mitty, a daydream may be a way to simply escape from reality for a while.

  10. My favorite daydream is fighting the undead during the zombie apocalypse. I'm usually running for my life or holed up in a fort during these imaginations, normally with an assault rifle or handgun in my hand. On occasion, I'm with my friends, but normally I take them down alone. I also end up escaping easily, but sometimes my mind works against me and I get bitten. Despite this minor detail, zombie fighting is still the daydream I prefer going to.

  12. I think that people day dream because they fall asleep and start to dream like they would as if they would sleeping at night. Other times when people day dream they get a seocndary thought in their mind and just keep elaborating on that thought and just keep on that thought and tune out reality. Other reasons why people day dream is that its an escape for them, an alternate reality. I believe that this is the main reason that people day dream, to escape reality just for ever breif of a moment.

  13. I believe that people daydream for many reasons other than just boredum. People may daydream because they have a big game coming up that week or that they have some big plans for this upcoming weekend and can't wait for it to come so they end up fantasizing about it before it actually happens.

  14. I believe that daydreams happen for many different reasons, possibly facing a difficult decision and they are looking for an the best solution, or perhaps to escape reality and take themselves to a different situation they are currently in. My favorite daydreams come when my daydreams take me to different areas of the world with the people i love and love to be around, places where that i plan to see someday in the future. I think my daydreams give me good ideas and hopefully take me to my future.

  15. 2) I think people daydream to relax themselves and to relieve stress. Often times, people daydream when they are bored. Daydreaming allows people to have time on their own to think about whatever they need. It allows you to think about the day's tasks, remember a funny story, or even create a helpful invention. People daydream so they can have alone time and get away from outside distractions. Daydreaming can also be relaxing, which explains why many people daydream just before falling asleep at night.

  16. One daydream I once had, put myself in the driving seat. The daydream had me running fifth, in formula one race at Monte Carlo. I was half way through the race, in my McLaren MP-44. My car was hooked up and I set my sights on Felipe Massa in his Ferrari. I drove hard and I was soon in fourth place. We pitted our car and fell back three positions. I was mad at the positions lost but kept a positive attitude. My crew chief came on the radio and said we had only 15 laps to go. I started truly pushing hard, and passed Nico Rosberg for sixth. We got Michael Schumacher coming into the Casino chicane, and were up to fifth, with only 12 laps to go. I continued pushing the car and passed both Robert Kubica and Jensen Button. The team kept coming on the radio, “Keep pushing, you are one of the fastest cars on track.” The last three drivers I knew where going to be the hardest to pass. I luckily got Fernando Alonso, coming into corner one and set my sights on Sebastian Vettel. His Red Bull car was very strong and I could not get by, luckily coming into corner number five I out braked him and made the pass stick. “Caution on the raceway”, replied my crew chief. I was second behind Lewis Hamilton’s McLaren. The green flag flew and I had one lap to make the pass. I tried passing into one and locked up the tires. I fell back 10 car lengths, and thought the race was over. I pushed the car hard, on the edge of grip, and gained on Lewis. I was right on his tail coming into the second last corner. I waited for my time, and out braked Lewis coming into the last corner. It was a drag race to the finish, and our McLaren MP-44 inched, Lewis’ McLaren. I had won the Grand Prix of Monaco.

  17. My Day Dream...
    Before I left for my cruise, I always day dreamed about myself on the boat, poolside laying out and taking in the sun. I could think about being in that relaxing state and being worry free. Then I would go on to think about the food I would be eating and the land excuresions I would be going on. Being back now I day dream of what I did and what I would do over again. :)

  19. A recent day dream I had during school was about summer time and how I wish it was here. I dreamed about the fun events i'll be doing such as going to the beach, making amazing mememories with friends, going on trips, and just relaxing. Looking outside a classroom window gazing at the melting snow, it just gets me excited that nice weather is just around the corner!
